Flop? or Not?

The game has A huge cult following already. Enough said.

I do hope it never comes to that.

It doesnt need to go F2P, but my gawd Trions 1st step into console mmo was brutal no doubt. Ive always heard of Rift, i had a few clanmates from my previous MMORPG that moonlighted Rift between time.

I just think Trion wasnt ambitious enough with Defiance!!

Your not doing the fanbase any favors by refering to them as a "Cult", but i understand what you mean, except thats not enough said for this discussion.

Not to mention Duke Nukem..... that was a whole different kettle of fish and flopped hard.

That has got to be the absolute most idiotic thing I have read on this game's forum to date.

This. 15 years here. I know exactly what you are saying.. but how do you convey that much mmo experience to people that dont realize whats in the koolaid they are drinking? haha
