Nah, I bet they consider this game finished. I mean, in the first week that followed the release of 2142, I could only ping 600 or so servers, compared to over a thousand before. People are leaving, and shitty patches that ruined the game is the cause.
As per usual for games like this. There will be a maintenance patch a couple months after the next in the series' release, maybe two and by that time only die hards will be playing and will probably look for 1.12 servers anyway since they patched the game to death after that. I'm surprised everyone said no but then many ppl don't notice patterns.
