He needs to wake up, and understand that SOE executives have nothing to do with the enjoyment of the game. Lum must not be a happy person.

Back in the day when iternet games was reaching an all new erra i often found myself playing needless hours on there website playing Tanarus,Napoleon,Take 5, Ect now they want you to pay for the games and thats all good and dandy....but how long do you think people are going to pay 6.95 for a group of games that were made in the 90's for free and have no real changes to the game YET? I used friars name as a reminder of great moderators of the 90! Miss you frair email me at kingrift@yahoo.com I would have to agree with all of Lum findings.

That is not exactly a fantastic message, either.

As for the two responses ahead of me...not so much. When players dont like things, we exact change. When we dont like the price of horse armor in Oblivion, we dont just say," Oh well, Im a total consumer sheep, Ill pay whatever is asked", we scream and shout and dont buy a damn thing till they offer it at a fair price. If SOE isnt gaining profits from the game already, then they are doing something wrong, their game isnt good enough. Look at Vanguard, I still play it, but Im escentially paying to play a beta. Tell SOE to start fulfilling their primary responsabilities, before they think they can work on "secondary markets". I could not agree more with the article.

I hate to shatter any illusions, but the number and power of foozles you kill in World of Warcraft has absolutely zero significance outside the context of the game. What matters is whether or not you're having <b>fun</b> in the game. I fail to see how the resume of SOE business development executives contributes to or detracts from that end. Seriously, grow up!
