The potential this game had was wasted because of the terribad administration of every single server in the planet.
This game was extremely visionary for it's time with the agency it gave players to influence and harness the world. The race war dynamic is extremely fun and the elections for race leader brings a novel and pretty cool experience that was normally informal in other MMOs. Each race having an unique and engaging mechanic (mechs for the lil guys, gigantic arm-mounted artillery for the robots, and summon spirits for the elves) was also neat.
The economics of the Chip War and the resource distribution along participants was interesting, and playing the markets to fuel the war machine while profiting could be a game in itself - if not for the rampant duping and cheating.
Enourmous potential squandered - and I doubt that even in the remote possibility RF2 actually releases this potential would be realized.
