I think you answered your own question there!

Gamers who use RMT are like athletes who use steroids.

I would enjoy playing a game like classic EQ again, as long as there is a fresh server start.

I think the market for MMO's is so hot right now, they are even dredging up the old abject failures, like horizons.   Easy fix, just rename it had hope a bunch of fools sign up and spend money on it.

Have you ever dredged? There's plenty of live bottom-dwellers that can come up in that process. They're normally pretty ugly and it's a kindness if they never see the light of day, but they still qualify as both alive and dredgeable.

I don't think Ozmo's analogy is accurate - the new owners have slapped a new name on it and also fixed a lot of problems - but a bunch of bug fixes don't add up to a new identity so it does come off looking a bit opportunistic.

I think the name change was a good idea, but prematurely executed.

The games coming on 5 years now and I think it would be better if they just had a sequal lke EQ did to catch up on the times...

Granted they don't have the reasources to make a sequal but the graphics are outdated, the performance is low on many machines, and it has major issues with vista. 

I liked the game when it first came out and played it over FFXI but the population is low and the game is showing its age.  I just think it'd be so much better starting over instead of trying to fix the countless issues in the game.
