An Open Letter to Nordeus

[gizzmo]

Well, you very nicely gave a list of well-supported arguments. There is one point where I strongly disagree with you: I DO like very much the new market system. And I find a bit arrogant the fact that you came to the conclusion the reason for that is I did not understand that the players were "artificial" ones. It was obvious from the very first minute and I do not see where the problem is: every single player in this game, in the old days or now, is completely artificial and just the product of our imagination. Coming to the supposed huge list of unhappy people: everyone knows that human are much more prone to shout their dissatisfaction than to give support. I could give thousands of examples, but politics is a good one: in France, we just elected our new president. 2/3 of the population voted for him and a month later gave him a 60% majority at the parliament. But what do we hear a week later ? Only people complaining and criticizing. The happy majority remains silent. And it is huge. I do not know if overall people will buy Nordeus' implementations to their game. But I am sure of one thing: they do not make them for us, old and addicted players, but for the new ones. They try to attrack new people to their product. And we weigh very little when compared to this huge number of potential new customers. If we like the changes, Nordeus will be happy; if we do not, they will make them anyway...
