Oh, it's one of these topics again. At some point, I have to stand on the side of Takumi. He is right. If they didn't want to make some money out of this project, then they wouldn't ask for money to begin with. Therefore, if you want to sell your product it REQUIRES marketing. No matter what it is. It used to be a decent product, without marketing, which made the player base into what it is today. Now it's a project that's dead, and not even pleasing most of its customers and there is still nothing done about it. That's not the way you make a succesful game/company.
The thing is, cargame.nl, you missed most of S2 considering your join date. You have no idea what LFS was like, when it was shining. You simply just don't have a comparision point to make a proper opinion on the state of the game.
