The road of no return?  You mean the road to keeping players on board?  The road to helping stimulate the market?  The road to promote commerce between waring corps?  The road to closing the gap of transfering money from veteran players to Newer players?  Ask any new corp how awesome those first 4 weeks of solid grinding to get production up and running on its feet, to watch players trickle out slowly because they feel they can not compete with veteran players.

This is a question I want each of you to ask yourself.  How many people who are gamers are on fixed budgets, or unemployeed, or with $7 a gallon gas prices feeling their gaming budgets slowly disappearing?  I am willing to bet there a quite a few subs that slip by the wayside why?  Because some people would rather buy food then spend $10 a month on a game.  I know the next thing, why have internet if you can't afford $10 sub.  Well high speed internet by itself is cheap in the states.  Look how popular Free to play is becomming.  Like it or not it is inevitable.  Monthly sub based games are dissappearing.

I don't want to see RMTs, I want active players.  I want to bring up the *** market and see items on it.  I want people to have access to T1 and T2 and T3 and T4 on the whim.  Why don't you see that now?  Theres Nothing to play foir after you accumulated $10 billion in assests and finish out research and become a huge trader in the market.

What do you think will happen to this Game if Lucuis Marcellus walked away from this game right now?  The entire market would collapse.  Mark those words.
