PlanetTribes Closes its Doors

Posted by: Mhaddy at 11:39 AM 

After a triumphant run as one of the lead news and content sites for the Tribes and Starsiege series of games, PlanetTribes has finally closed its doors. While the site will remain online for content retrieval, it will no longer be updated. Here's the message from Rifter:

Greetings from the Planettribes.com staff. The Starsiege and Tribes franchises have had a very exciting run, but it is time for us to move on. Tribes started out as an off-shoot of Starsiege (as a matter of fact, this site was origionally planetstarsiege). While Starsiege was the last game of Earthsiege series, Tribes took up the banner and continued from Tribes to Tribes 2, to finally Tribes: Vengeance. We have seen the game start as a minor off-shoot of a major series, and turn into an online phenomeon in its own right. What we leave behind on this site, is an archive of the wisdom of our community. From hosted sites, to our still-active forums, and troubleshooting pages, so you can continue enjoying one of the greatest games ever created. Thank you for your support over the years, and hope to see in the future. Look to Garage Games to continue the greatness of the spirit of Tribes. Planet Tribes has had a very rich tapestry of people that helped to make it happen. From our founder, tAng, to the current staff, we have had a great crew bringing you the latest in Tribes, Starsiege, and Torque news.
