And Chulhu is the valiant defender of all things corporate.

And I wonder what kind of video game PeTA would design?

I have to agree with the pessimism here. 1)  MMOs always sort of suck.  Even Planetside which was really awesome got slowly more screwed up as time went on thanks to SOE's need to sell more expansion packs and inability to deal intelligently with balance issues.  2) A huge part of Tribes was the mods.  No private servers means no mods.  That includes custom maps.  3)  A centralized server means anyone that isn't near it already is shit out of luck as far as not getting annoying lag that is then compensated for by client-side hit detection that makes taking cover pointless.

What kind of game is that?  Other than (apparently) morbidly hillarious.
