The APB servers have now been shut down and players may be twiddling their thumbs trying to figure out what to play next. Todd Harris, the executive producer at Hi-Rez Studios who are behind the MMOFPB Global Agenda, issued a statement today inviting APB players to come and check out their game and has also offered s substantial discount on the game’s purchase if you use a special code.
Global Agenda was recently released here in the UK and we have been following it for some time on IncGamers. We do recommend you try the game out if the MMOFPS genre is your cup of tea.
Hi-Rez Studios Todd Harris added:
The last few years have been rough for many fans of the Shooter/MMO genre.
Several innovative game titles with great communities have folded as they sought to bring together those of us who enjoy the fast-action, intense pace of a shooter, but also the character progression and persistence offered by MMOs.
Today, we mourn our latest fallen colleague, APB. In making APB, Realtime Worlds had a bold vision to make an MMO devoid of traditional tab-targeting, cast bars, and die-roll combat. We honor their effort and innovation, and greatly mourn the game’s closing.
Sadly, the APB server shutdown leaves their entire community with nothing to shoot or blow-up tonight!
So between today and Friday, September 24, 2010, we are offering refugees from APB and other Shooter/MMOs an opportunity to join Global Agenda’s growing community more easily and affordably than ever.
We figure you deserve it. And you’ll fit right in since you already know how to aim.
All players that purchase Global Agenda on the game’s official webstore prior to September 30, 2010, using the promotion code “LongLiveShooterMMOs” will receive a 30% discount off the game. That’s $20.99, £13.12, and €15.75!
This one-timme purchase gives you full access to the game’s content, with no monthly fees.
And, remember, you can try the game before you buy by playing the free trial, available at .
We at Hi-Rez Studios believe strongly in the Shooter/MMO genre. We celebrate and thank all developers advancing innovative Shooter/MMO concepts, as well as the fans that dedicate their time to playing and supporting these games.
