I think a lot of players took a break with the latest non-patch and the 8 hour boss cd. I also think IMC knows their game is not polished so they haven’t marketed it at all.
If they used a better game engine, fixed most of the bugs, and added all the content KTOS had; I don’t see why this game wouldn’t be good.
IMC needs a new lead designer that actually plays MMOs. I feel like he/she only played the beginning of RO and has no clue what the standards are now for a polished game.
