He fixed what he could, just as he did with AO. AO's still cranking to this day and still a fine MMO by anyone's standards. And it's HUGE.<br /><br />The population leaving may or may not be Craigs fault, direct or indirect, but I severely doubt it was his directly; games are driven by managers beholden to bosses who answer to owning companies who answer to share-holders. It's a fucked process that get's in the way of art to which I imagine AoC being a Monet with a busted frame and torn corners. Still a painting, just needs some luvvin'.<br /><br />Maybe one day we will get Craigs and Joel's reports on how life in FC actually was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957022066967125743.post-53713922078498158172013-03-03T16:59:04.167-08:002013-03-03T16:59:04.167-08:00CM may have improved the game from when he took it...CM may have improved the game from when he took it over but he took FOUR years to achieve these relativly few changes.<br /><br />Have you forgotten about the Year of zero updates while they developed the Dream Engine. What about end game encounters like Thoth and T4 being in the game but bugged for years before they were fixed. <br /><br />This neglect caused thousands of players to leave the game.<br /><br />Whilst we can thank CM for the relativly bug free code base we have today, we can also thank him for the bare bones population as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957022066967125743.post-53448887809075145052013-02-28T19:46:29.482-08:002013-02-28T19:46:29.482-08:00Well done.
