I haz an idea!!!

[Tornadic]

Yama, I'd hate to come off insulting, but I think you missed my point. I'm not proposing some company buy MxO. I'm proposing the MxOEmu devs acquire the legal rights to operate this game. I know SOE screwed MxO, but they also screwed Star wars. A company founded and operated by this game's fans, could (and I assume you may agree here) be trusted to not, Um, Fuck our asses with hot iron.

I'd just like to say one more number: 733

733 this is the number of people currently registered to this very forum. If every one of those people resubed, just to see if it was any good (possible), and got 2 other people to play (not likely) we'd be over our required sub number. This is of course assuming that no other video game journalists would cover this (very, very unlikely).

And

It's not that it's a bad idea, it's that it's just not plausible or prudent at this point in time.

Firstly, and most importantly, because WBIE will not give up the rights to this. I don't think they'd give it up for any amount of money, because this thing has made them SO MUCH MONEY in the past, they're going to hang on to it in the hopes that someday, more is added to it.

That's the beauty of this idea. Nobody is buying the rights to anything. They're letting whoever take the risk, have all the responsibility and liability, while still keeping the rights, cashing checks, and can pull the plug whenever they want. The ONLY real problem I see (from their perspective) is "who the hell are these people?" and "get everything ready and then we'll give you the code" and like I said, finding starting capital is hard.

One last little thing, I'm just a fan of MxO. it is easily the BEST MMO created (aesthetics aside) not because it's Matrix or Cyber punk, but because it did right what every other MMO has done wrong in every area of the game.
I'm personally insulted that you would insinuate that I would "rat you out". Do you know how stupid I'd have to be to kill the one last shot I have at playing the best MMO ever made?
