OK. first of all this is Infinity01... so no hiding here
I totally agree with what is bellow
...especially inlight of the recent past wide spread disruptions including space and planets... These are reflection of bad implementation of things accross multiple servers.
So, I think it's the right move by MA...
However, I dont' think he is in a position to say to double the EU population by the end of 2013.... may be it's a reflection of an enthusiastic ex-erricson/EU player... who've realized the problem MA is facing, and wanted to give a helping hand to MA. Erricson is not doing good worldide either. So it might be a clever move by him, and it'd be a good thing for MA too if he has the real expertize (which I think he has - at least hope so)...
So it'd be a win (MA) win (him) win(players) situation for all parties concerned
As for doubling the numbers by 2013... yes it seems an impossibility... but the way technology is moving... nothing is impossible to be honest!
With better pc and graphic cards... and explosion of activities (both in terms of numbers and money)in the virtual world.. the facebook/sim generation are going to venture out soon in world like EU..
I've seen a video of diablo III... I'd not go for that kind game. So there are a lot of potential players out there... MA just needs to target them right... and in that scenario I dont' think it's an imposibility....
Finally, my usual conspiracy theory (one of the reason for banning me)
If I'm correct (that he is an EU player)... what's the name of his avatar in EU... and what would happen to that avatar.
Is there a need for disclaimer they way Hanne.skam did few yrs ago)
To 711: now that you know this is infinity01... go ahead and ban me...lol... you may ban my original account permanently if you wish.
....and if you dont' ban me (infinity01)permanently I'll have more to say after my ban is over. You may not like that!
so decide carefully......LOL.
