    Hmm, interesting. I played a lot of Dune 2 RTS back in the day. An MMORPG or RTS would be my preferred game but I very much doubt it will be that.

    Please, Funcom, bring the old Secret World back ... it was amazing. The setting/lore is unique. People are tired of fantasy themed MMORPGs and you can see it dying. If you only find a solution for the faction imbalance during PvP and keep updating the game with fresh ideas, I will be one of the first to dive head first. I really hated what you did with SWL ... you took out the complexity and the soul of the game and what remained is a husk of its former self. Watching how people dived into ATLAS and swallowed all those failures they did made me realize how gamers are starving for the next WoW/big thing. If DUNE is going to be on par with TSW I might give it a shot but honestly I am reluctant with your latest decisions.
    Peace

    meh there was never imbalances on pvp per see, save the need to do the dungeons for gear since the pvp ones stop on one tier lower, and the pve scrubs was against it, the game gave a huge bonus for certain uses, example I use teh hammer elite skill on pvp together with the aoe rifle, beofer that I used the elite rifle, from killing one peep each min I go for killing more tehn 10 in huge battles.

    but if you ask me legends really grounded the game, it was less of the same, since I notice a lot of quests missing

    So I just picture seeing some lone dude running across the sand screaming at the top of his lungs "Worm to zone!"

    Whelp,  it could have been worse, better Funcom rather than Ten Cent, Ncsoft or Snail Games right?
    Kyl, that was surprising, where's CCP from that list? :wink:
    Navigators are practically capsuleers, and there's space travel everywhere, politics, backstabbing... would be in their comfort zone.
    Brrrr... You can paint a nigtmarish picture with one stroke, friend. CCP indeed. People who made deal with White Wolf. My, I was curious about outcome. Patient - it took years before they announced anything on WoD. And then they closed it.

    Edited: shit, I missed your smiley. :D You were sarcastic - I deleted second part of my reply. :)

    CCP has been unable to do anything else right except EVE,  last people I'd give something Dune to especially considering their new owners.

    Dear Diary,

    After being stationed in the desert for 3 years, and having my only overseas deployment end up in a desert land, I can hardly stand playing video games set in a desert environment at all.

    I just can't do it.

    It's a weird thing I guess, but I need to see greenery and mountains and water, and lively things. It doesn't matter that it may all conspire to kill me, as long as there's green, water, and life. Or maybe at least one zone I can retreat to occasionally for a break from it. It can't all be bleak, barren, and lifeless.
    Just quoting this amazing post.

    This is right in Funcom's backyard since every single expansion bar one, in the past five years has been set in a desert environment.  It's the easiest asset to work with when it comes to level design.

    wrote my letter, I did my part. 
    I think there's a "no-backsies" clause when game companies buy movie IP licenses.  E for effort though.
