How would you explain to a boardroom full of MBA's that the key to a quality Everquest reboot entails a step away from the casual mechanics that they likely still believe actually attract casual players?

The second coming of MMO Jesus Christ isn't going to come from an established gaming company, but from an indie developer or startup company that has the clarity of purpose and industry acumen to release something new and fun.
I will "hope" Bethesda and Zenimax prove you wrong. But, I won't hope too hard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
