It's no secret that I am a sucker for CrimeCraft, and while it has plenty of issues, I'm enjoying it greatly. Vogster has been trying to get its MMO off the ground for a few months now, and while it's certainly better now than in the beginning, it still has a really low population. At the end of this month,
a new patch is expected that will add new features and a large new map for 32 players, but mainly, it'll upgrade the free trial member status to full standard access and lower the premium subscription. If you're still on the fence, then it might be the time to check it out, or if you dropped the game a few months ago, it might be worth coming back ....
