Yeah, they spent subscriber dollars to send the CEO into space and then acted like it was a big deal. That might have worked when space travel was "in" for the Western market, but it gains a big yawn lately.

PAUs? Still a myth, but potentially might see light of day. There was so much more that was promised and being worked on, albeit *very slowly*, even compared to Blizzard's lethargic manner of releasing content and updates, bug fixes, etc. The constant revamps of shoddy or broken systems like player crafting was a major detraction to progressive development, though highly needed, but should have simply been designed right from the start with a more competent design team than Richard was given.

PAUs might still be seen. On the PTR, that is. Or as a "Hah, see! We finally DID release what we were promising for months on end!"

Just like UO, all over again. At one point, I believed in Richard, as a mentor from back in the Origin days. Origin is long dead, and so is any faith of the consumers for a product with his or NC$oft's name upon it.
