The whole of MMO universe does not revolve around World of Warcraft. There are a lot of games out there in fact. Aside from being older, they are not about raiding and leveling so you can't brand them as copycats. One such example is Jumpgate. Some of you may not be aware but this flight simulation MMO title has been around for five years already.

Anyway, developer NetDevil mentioned earlier that the game will be soon overhauled big time. This is quite exciting as Jumpgate is something we could refer to as a survivor. FYI, the game isn't getting much publicity and its fan base is now reduced to just 1,000. The point is, despite those things, Jumpgate is still here. Hey, it even outlived its original developer 3DO.

More interestingly, the said announcement coincided with the breaking news that NetDevil entered into a new MMO deal with a major U.S. toy company. The company wouldn't divulge anything on that matter. Going back, NetDevil official Scott Brown disclosed that they are not sure yet what changes they are going to implement to Jumpgate. He mentioned however, that they were thinking somewhere along the lines of new look and new classes.

Furthermore, Brown highlighted that they are not just concerned with MMO giants. According to him, "The game is a niche title. It's no WoW killer but it doesn't need to be." It is in this light, finally, that Brown promised to reward players who have been with them ever since.
I'm working on a new DsD issue and am doing a piece on what ND has release so far. I have the piece from Gamasutra but can't remember where the secon piece (quote above) came from. Do you recall, LordO (or others)?

If no-one tells you what to expect, what you get always falls short.
This is not true V31, your opinion on things is different on the opinion of others, and what somebody might say is bad MAY be good for you.

I often use the example of a low priced game.... Mobil 1 Rally Championship, was being sold at $25 at Electronics Boutique (stores not online). When we first gave it a look, at the box, we couldnt understand why it was set at that price. Today, around 6 years later, is still the best rally game ever developed. You rarely can find a game that has 22-28 mins stages, and the looks.. 400 miles of terrain that never gets repeated..... for $25.

I lent my CD to a friend and he lost it, and Im still searching around for somebody who might send it down here to me, as so far, many of those who have it... dont want to send to Puerto Rico

So, what Im saying is, perceptions and opinions are always things of their owner and not necesarily are the truth. Expect the worst, and if its better, you'll be surprised, if its not.... well, u werent expecting marvels.

Not what, who.

And you really can't understand RATHA if he's just explained. You have to experience him for the full effect.
