I would like to think
MA will one day be innovative enough to create a PTR (Public Test Realm).
Call it what you want, adjust it so is applicable to Entropia, but a PTR seems to work magnifigantly for other very large online games.
Allows for bugs to be identified well before final release and also allows for feedback from real players about whether a change is desireable, or beneficial to anyone.
You make the final release only when all is functioning properly on the PTR.
Undoubtedly there will be someone that says it cant be done for some reason, but with an innovative attitude and some lateral thinking a version suitable to Entropia must be able to be devised.
The method they are using currently seems pretty flawed.
Drawing on techniques and strategies used by other game producers isnt a crime, it is clever.
