Umm.. What makes you think they took them down forever? It could just be another bug or something that makes the servers temporarily unavailable. Things like this have happened in the past, and it's always been fixed.
The auth servers have been down before, could just be something up with the service. From the looks of the error code, I'm thinking a list to relay login servers isn't responding. The master servers themselves are still sending
If they had plans to keep it down, they would have made a notice of it as they did recently with a number of older games.
ok lol my bad I surely wasn't trying to sound all freaked or anything, I just had someone suggest something about a petition in case something like this happened. I mean take a loot at Tribes 1, they took it down without notice and I just have always known that its better to be over prepared to take action than not to be at all. I understand (from what I have been hearing all day) that this has happened several times in the past but I can't remember them happening or if they did it was probably while I was taking a break from the game. Sorry guys I didn't mean to sound so ballistic...like I said I was just worried about the game seeing as how I am in the middle of creating a Tribes 2 story to record with some software a friend of mine purchased just to create a sort of excitement for the game....maybe to lure people back to it...I dunno. Well anyway my apology goes out again and I will for sure take the post down or edit it so it will say something different I guess in a way thanks for the reassurance because I just didn't want this game to go away.
yea I kinda feel like a doofus now but eh, everyone has their moments and I tend to have enough of them for the people that think they don't have these kind of moments. anyway you all can point and laugh at me now...red alert has subsided now lol
We could. If it turns out we'll need to use it all the time we could probably hook up some auth for applying guids to users when they join the servers if their IP matches an accoutn on the forums or something. I've got a list of GUIDs from about 2000 people who have joined the server on here, so most of them I could probably just find on there and insert manually.
Maybe create new ones like "TC-000029" for people who don't have old ones.
Of course, there's always the possibility of people abusing something like that to try and grab admin or something.

Ok, I looked at the link that Krash gave, it said that all those multiplayer games would terminate at August 16, 2007. Including Tribes. The date they gave was 2 months EXACTLY before the server went down. I'm scared that they did take down tribes!

There was the one notice, a month before it went down.
