I know it sounds like a "bold claim" - and I'm sure dozens and dozens of others have made it - but I believe I could bring, for a short time, quite a few new ppl to the game - my concern is, doing that w/o fixing some pretty obvious things would be silly and not helpful in the long run. Because if they come and are frustrated right at sign up - they won't stay. I'd rather see if there is any possibility that some simpler things (I realize big changes (and even small ones at times) can require weeks of coding, etc.) that don't require huge revamps could be done to attract and RETAIN new(ish) players which in turn, ideally, would revitalize interest from older players AND staff, and thus more involved development might be renewed.

P'haps its just a pipe dream - which is why I started the thread. But I honestly think its quite an engaging game, even with all its "problems" - and I think it has potential to be of interest to a whole new batch of players with a little spit polish and duct tape - so to speak.
