Old Jumpgate player here. Was known as Highl@nder formally of The Black Company/Therapist/Gargamel etc. Thinking about checking this game out. Is it worth it?

And wow seen several names I recognized. Some I fought along side of several fought against :) Went to the old jumpgate site...wow 14 people online and they said the game was dead LOL. Well might try this one out see how it plays. Any leads as to which faction etc to consider?

I am ex Jumpgate also. I was a fighter for Octavian empire. Oddly enough my weapon of choice was a fast scout. I was the token speed freak and was deadly too (he he no joke!) I was "Knave". Hated shooting drones all night so i spent most the time PvP. And encouraging others to join the fun. In my own small way, i made sure that PvP wasnt forgotten and neglected and that people didnt lose their sporting values :)

Wasnt PvP great in Jumpgate? Had great combat balance.

It also had a vibrant roleplaying storyline which recruited entire gaming populations in wars and joint efforts; giving meaning to mindless repetetive blasting and mind numbing mining.

Stopped playing after the game seemed to die off. Shame, it got a lot of things right. What do i mean by die off? Some nights i played the server stats were about 2 or 3 players. Went one whole week without coming across another player. I understand that numbers have picked up a little, but unfortunately with most old games this happens. They fade away to obscurity in the cobwebs in the dark corner of the internet, only living in our cherished memories.

Jumpgate was great. Vendetta looks great too. It has a lot of things jumpgate had and more.

I think i share the same sentiment with any other space combat junky. Good space games and rpg's are hard to come across. Its a neglected genre. I found Vendetta Online almost by complete chance. I think us old Jumpgate boys have a lot to bring to this game. Hopefully we can spur up some decent roleplay,wars, and guilds and show some of the other players what space opera is all about : ) No, its not just about repeatedly shooting bots until you get depressed.... he he

Lo guys, I was in Jumpgate also, OEC. I need you guys to help me out. We need to sell these folks on the idea of editing the huds. I have already suggested it, but it must have fell on deaf ears.

Here, I made a mock-up to help you push this new hud idea through.

Obviously, a few things are missing, but I'm sure the devs won't leave them out.
