If anyone ever does recreate the game, please make it non-server dependent. Like competitive is fun, as were boss strikes, but if I have the choise between in-game community or the knowledge that the game will never get taken down again because its just a download, I'll take the latter. I was heart broken when the servers went down since I played BN from day 1. I'd hate to have it happen twice. It'd be great if it could be put up on steam where updates could be published and people can just download the updates as they want to.

Also whoever does recreate the game could make a little money by charging $0.99 for the game (please dont kid yourself by charging more).

I will also finish by saying this: Battle Nations may have been published in the infancy of the app store, but in terms of gameplay and story, it beats every game I have seen to date. I have never replaced this game with something I consider its equal. No one even tries, just releasing garbage games to make a quick buck. I still wonder if the pressure came from higher up than the Z2 studio, because now Z2 has one sub-par app that lacks the soul their previous games had. Maybe they lost all their resources to go make Candy Crush alternatives that King has a million of. All i know is that I really feel bad for what happened to Z2, as they are never going to get the chance to shine again. I hope the employees are at least able to enjoy what they do now, if any of them even remain inside of King inc.
