I know most of you won't care because you're pubescent teens whose balls just dropped but:
* GarageGames purchased the ownership of the Tribes IP (all Tribes games) from Activision/Vivendi late last year.
* We do have the source code to the game, and the build has been updated with bug fixes
* The build will be distributed through the website, but still playable as a standalone game.
* The game will use the existing Master Server system that the original game used. We will provide a new master server address with the release.
* The game is not compatible with version 1.11 but you should be able to play the same demos as recorded on previous versions
* Mods and configs used in 1.11 will not be directly compatible, without at least minor changes, as the base game scripts have been cleaned up considerably by Andrew
* The game does NOT have updated graphics, this was a PR misunderstanding. The game does support modern file formats (PNG textures, Zip files)

    THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

    It would be a POGfusor.

    Obligatory "Pogs were awesome" post.

    Because they were.

    But I was a candy-ass and would never play 'for-keeps' because dammit I didn't want to loose my .10 circle of cardboard.

    Also: when my family moved, I lost my bag of them. Them and a shit-ton of Hot Wheels, all gone. Shame, really. McDonalds doesn't make Hot Wheels like they used too.
