You've got to register above, mate. Not down here in the comments.
If I hadn't bought the stupid thing on iTunes just the other day, I'd be signing up in a heartbeat. Really solid score on this one. Real well done.
Big personal fan of the Elder Scrolls myself. I don't care what they rolled out, I'd play it. I'm tickled to hear that there's be a thoughtful approach to meshing the two genres so well and that there's been real thought to the PvP and character development. So many games completely miss that aspect of making a great game.
Understood, mate. If I were them, I'd be having HR contact you rather than anyone else. =)
No, but you haven't had the marketing they have either, nor do you really have the dedicated staff of developers and additional corporate support. I'm not suggesting there's competition or anything like that between the two, either. I'm saying there's a mod, that uses the same basic engine as the new game. That suggests that the mod sort of sets the bar for the game. Not that they need to have every single thing you do, but they need to compare favorably, and right now I just don't think they do. The comparison is mechanics and content, not numbers of players.
btw, it's not a totally fair comparison because you guys have done truly exceptional work. It's not like we're comparing them to a typical mod here. So hats off to the staff at MWLL. I'd really rather you take the article as a compliment on your work and how high you've set the bar, than an attempt at creating some sort of rivalry.
