The last "update" to this game was 3 years and 8 months ago. Not a content update, but when US servers were added and the game went free to play. Sadly, the last official EU server (only server that remained) disappeared over two months ago.

This game is dead unless you like playing the tutorial by your lonesome.

At release, the game didn't even break 900 concurrent players. Unfortunately, it's time to lay this one to rest.

Crippled by bugs and sentenced to death by cheaters, this game was a potential superstar destroyed before it could shine. I don't think publishers will take the risk to revive it or make another one.

A new game might work if it got the support it needs, but there were also some fundemental issues with gameplay that turned casual players away. I'm not saying that the game should be for everyone, but as it was, it was only for the super elite. Unless you learned how to "git gud", you had ZERO chance to survive.

My biggest fight with the Pandemic Express community was always with the cheaters, though. The game could have survived had they not absolutely infested the game and ripped it apart. All while crying "Why aren't there any players?" :dazed_yeti:

Is there a community that plays on the weekends or something like that? This game was the bomb when it came out, such good memories.

Why can it not be a free to play with cosmetic skins to purchase or something.

It was free to play. As for cosmetics, you'd earn stars from rounds. These stars served as the currency to buy perk sets (parts of different outfits) and different songs for the radio in-game.

The game didn't die because of how it was monetized or that it was first a buy to play game, it died because the developers abandoned it. It was so bug-infested that I guess they just couldn't handle it. That and the human player meta that developed totally messed up the game and I assume they had no more funding to fix it.
