Well it is no secret that its been going downhill for APB, with all the hackers, botters and also people that turned their backs on the game when the subscription system was revealed, more then half of the gamers left the APB community after that. And now it looks like the game will be going to an early grave, Realtime Worlds have been losing so much money on this that they have gone into administration and also closing offices and laying off employes. According to an online show about MMOs, the server costs are so high for the game that it might have less then 5 weeks left before the game is effectivly killed. Too bad, the game looked promising with the incredibly deep customizing options like Saints Row 2 have. But one really ironic thing is that a game called CrimeCraft had a similar bad start, but its been getting better and better. Plus it is free to play with lots of fun.

Heh I guess it's that sudden change from " buy it and play free for life" to " buy it and play for sumtime then buy moar time to play moar " who disgusted the players. At first i was thinking about buying it, as it looked really awesome. But when i saw how it changed I was like "Nah without me thanks" and I decided to not get it. Heh, I think that the guy who decided to change that must feel a lot like killing himself now X)
