I was wondering about you guys... and glad the dream of this game is still alive (unlike my webcomic)!

I would so love another MMOG, even a straight DIKU clone even, in the wild west.  What is it with these damn elves?  I can't understand it.  Well, okay, I saw the Lord of the Rings movies but didn't read the books.  So I sort of understand it... but not really.  MOST americans would be MUCH more comfortable riding a horse with a six gun, some growling cowboy, over some poofy elf speaking with an english accent.  Well, that's just me, based on living here and watching our movies. 

Westerns are so American and so perfect for this genre.

Then we go make games where we are elves and speaking with english accents.  Over and over and over.  And over and over and over and over. 

WTF?

I think WoW would be three times as successful if it were cowboys.  It's the new geek golf, but the elves make it took geekish for some. 

Ah well, just saying HI.  Glad the community is still with you guys.  Need a cartoonist?  Unknown Player stopped paying!  Okay, he never paid anything actually.

things like doing a hold up and demanding "your money or your wife"... and being left with the wife
