i really want the game to go out with a bang.
i wish the entire community would pull together and give it the farewell it deserves. i vote until it's gone, every player goes to blitzkrieg and just all out battle and war. download the client, make a tank, and choose a color. and go in and have total mayhem until it's gone. :| raiding and mobbing fests. a full rosters tournament. etc
whether you dont like the game or not. :c

sad news indeed


i think its fair to say we all deserved better, community and developers alike. we all had a hand in this, and hopefully we all learned some things.

important thing to remember though; they are saving the database. never say never

never say never. Honestly its a matter of time and priorities at this point. Without going into a long tangent, my life was turned upside down and had some amazing oppurtunities to build a great life over the last couple months and I had to do it. that being said, I simply havnt had the time utanks deserves from me. With utanks costing us around 70 dollars a month to run we just couldn't do it anymore without actively making progress. I have everything and we still have a server at home. There is still a chance of throwing it back there but not until things slow down for me ALOT and I don't see that happening until at least 2 months when my flight school stuff has stopped and our new construction is done.

Its great to see you guys on and I really appreciate all the time you guys put into this and know that we arnt completely gone. Maybe one day we can pick this up and give it the finish it truly deserves.

Didn't play it much within the last year or so, but it honestly feels like I'm losing a family member. So many memories built up as soon as I entered again; ranging from alpha, to the summer of 2011, and to the battles with ops/snakes etc.

The classic story, motivation to work on uTanks has been lacking for 2-3 years already.

It's good that it's finally been shut down, that the community is no longer strung along on sickly hopes and dreams that will never transpire.

uTanks might not have been a complete success but one of the greatest things about it was seeing the community come together and continuously throw down new ideas. It truely was made by the players themselves and the donations represented our willingness to see the game thrive. Seeing the community come together and think of and revise each others ideas like that was the best feeling in the world. In my opinion I'm proud to have been a part of the indirect development of the game, because every drop of sweat I gave for the game was worth it, and I'm proud of it.

i don't mind being out of a moderator job. i served the game i love as best as i could for as long as i could.

as for playing games. i don't like jagex either but i still enjoy playing runescape most of the time cause of the friends i have on it. so the management doesn't mean shit to me. just those i'm playing with.

i for one do respect every member of bad sheep gaming regardless of our past fights and disagreements. it's all part of the developement process and i don't fault anyone for it and i'm glad to have met and known all 5 of them.
