I'm 'Bound' to World Champion
Softnyx released a new version of GunBound.
www.gunbound.net
If you don't remember, this is the cartoonish MMO 'Scorched Earth' clone.
It was novel when it first came out a few years ago, and I played it for awhile with the Nexlians. The rest of the team eventually decided that the graphics were too childish, and so were the other players. So we stopped playing.
They released a new version a little over a month ago, and it is pretty cool. I've started playing again. I just ignore the immature opponents...
Here's some of the most drastic changes:
Two new mobile types.
The interface is totally new.
Mobile upgrades are rented now, instead of purchased, making it possible for people who don't play as often to still use the upgrades even if only for a week at a time.
The network code is less stable.
I don't understand that last one... The only thing that makes the gme annoying to me is that I seem to get dropped a lot more than I should... Once in a while is understandable, especially for a game that is basically free. but I seem to get dropped once for every three hous of play, ruining a match occasionally, and I've noticed high pings with some of the other players. hopefully this gets resolved.
If you played it before, you should try out the new version. If you've never tried it you can get it free from the website. either way, my username in Gunbound (as everywhere else) is CBDroege.

The MMORPG coming out from the same company looks great too.
