We understand the success rate would be different but I'm still positive that this will be big. Not as big ad the original of course.. I believe as long as the exposure is there and people are aware of the release then there's really no question of success, all that's left is the execution by you guys.
As for the content not sure if I'm on the same page as you but majority of people preferred the old patches and limitations.. the extensive stuff put out by the current is what killed the population as it tipped the balance scale..
I don't know much about coding and the work that this requires and I'm sure it's a lot but the success will be worth it. The lack of game play experience and how things work, this could be where we make our contribution and provide you guys with what information we can. I wouldn't reccomend hiring random people for sure that never works out but you can use us on here for valuable gameplay information as to the extra strain placed on your small team of course a new employee would solve that but i guess finding the right person is difficult also.. maybe someone here can suggest something useful
