Amazing to behold - Return to Reckoning

Long time player when it was EA (pre-day 1 to four years in.... then quit when I couldn't take the dead servers and lack of attention any longer). What a heartbreak that was, watching the best MMO ever made die a slow, painful, unnecessary death.
Even though it had some bugs, the first public night was incredible...... truly groundbreaking. How it didn't do better against WOW will always be a mystery to me.
I had many private conversations with Foozee from the EA/WAR forums (community manager), and got a lot of stories from behind the veil. What happened to Paul Burnett was a travesty, and his dream was killed before it ever had a fair shake.
Note to everyone..... NEVER, EVER, SELL YOUR COMPANY AND LOSE CONTROL. Besides the fact that EA is a worthless, POS, EVIL company that doesn't give a crap about anyone (even their own people).
What an amazing job the team here has done.... it makes me think "what if" these guys had WAR back in the day..... oh how the MMO world would be different....
Thank you soooo much for bringing this back to life.
I hope all continues to go incredible, and some enterprising company hires you guys (and gals?) , buys the rights from EA/GW and pays you big bucks to relaunch commercially. It can happen...... if stinking Eternal Crusade can get millions for a super POS game.... WAR surely deserves another shot with a team like this behind it.
