From Exteel homepage~

I played it now and then, but the cash shop for Exteel was poorly thought out. Things cost a lot, and/or you just rented them out for a week.

Sad, not a lot of giant robot MMO goodness out there.

From what little I played of Exteel a few years back it was pretty fun, but not something I'd pay money in any regular intervals for.

Which pretty much describes most of NCSoft's catalog now that I think about it.

I also played Exteel a few years ago it was a fun, fast paced shooter without too much in the way of cheesy tactics, and in a cool sci-fi robot theme.

Didn't have too much skill curve depth tho so I eventually got distracted by other games and forgot about it.

They probably would of been better off if they just packaged it as a multiplayer shooter with minimal if no RPG elements instead of a free to play MMO with an item shop, then derived additional revenue if successful releasing X-pacs and new mechs as DLC.

It had too much lag and the worst kind of cash shop a f2p game can have. Also it was just a lobby + gameroom f2p shooter with robot design not at all a mmo. Fun though and I'd bet they made some money with it.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.
