I was thinking "Doesn't look like something I'd really enjoy, but I don't see any harm in trying it" until I read their online terms of usage and service agreement's section about "Digital Rights Management and Usage Rules," which states that they may install DRM, but is vague on specifically what they may install if anything. Lacking any clarity on whether or not it includes DRM (yet if it lacks it may silently add it in the future in a patch, since the terms of use require you to accept it already), I have to say that it appears that I won't be trying this game, and therefore won't be buying it (although it's an MMO - I never subscribe to MMOs. Wait, why is Tribes an MMO?)

Letting random companies install standalone DRM which runs on my computer, potentially messing shit up, is not acceptable as an admissions requirement for games to me.

Tribes is not a MMO. Unless you counted all the other Tribes as MMOs...

One thing though, no bots at all. Not even in practice mode.

:O gimme, I've been waiting to see if this game is actualy what people have been talking about. Considering the competitive gaming scene already has some interest on it means it might be at least a little bit worthy of being a tribes sequel.

Yep, done.

-edit- That was quick, already managed to make an account (which required trying numerous names to finally get one), download the hi-command client, use the beta key, download the full 1.6gb game, and install it. I'm honestly not sure how my 10mbit connection even managed the download that fast, it got it in like 10 minutes. It should have taken about 22. Either the game is downloading compressed files and counting that as 1.6gb or my cable connection is giving me way more than I pay for.

Time to try it out I suppose :D
