Other companies

Being very new to the game, At the risk of being blasted I'll still
venture an opinion.

From what I've seen, you guys really do a good job as a company. My only
problem is with some of the mechanics of the game (actualy alot of the
mechanics of the game). I guess alot of that comes down to personal
taste... although I don't think I'm alone on a number of the issues.

The real shame is that even if all the players were in favor of some
change and you guys, yourselves, thought it was a really good idea....
alot of things you can't change because you can't touch the software
engine (which is pretty old, I'm guessing) that the game runs on... I am
correct in that assumption?

That I think is the biggest weak spot in ME Games.

Damn,

  *** Not any more I am afraid. They got bought out by us - capitalism
at
  its best uh? Note: before we bought them there was no games running
there
  though for over a year.

  RD: You cornered the market huh? Great play. When are you going
public on the Stock Exchange? Will there be some free shares for
veteran players (like me - must be 12 years' loyal service which is
twice as long as I've ever held a job!)?

  Note if players aren't happy with our system we try to improve it.
But
  changes often mean that some aren't going to be happy. But for the
overall
  benefit of the game (and consequently our pocket and your enjoyment)
  sometimes I think the slog is worth it. Note there are other
companies out
  there that run ME, and other companies that run other games. I can
  recommend some of them for you if you want a relatively impartial
(cough)
  opinion. Note I am not trying to get rid of any players or force
anyone
  out - the option to opt out is there so that it has minimal (I think)
  impact on your gaming experience.
