Thanks ykm that's the one Hao. I think you will be happy to hear from the new Devs about some of the directions they intend to take the game in. Also it's a good watch anytime they do a stream they're fun dudes.
Agree on everything but bringing back the old customization system. Don't get me wrong, i liked to monkey around with it, but its days are long gone. I hope we can get more depth too, but without added complexity (yes, it's possible) to attract new players Let's wait a bit longer and see what the Owls are working on!
You've pretty much said what I've been trying to say for such a long time but got laughed at. And damn, I really do miss the customisable upgrades!
For the discussion on the old leveling/rune forge/customization system, it may be relevant to read Gedden's post on the subject
@ the title: Just so you know, the debacle was on the part of Octopi, SOE was the reason the game didn't disappear.
