I have, however, heard TONS of rumors that Turbine is buying back the rights to AC1 so they can do it independant of MS. As I said, however, they are JUST RUMORS, and I treat them as such.

Anyone else have more info ?

Well, I was discussing this with Tynerion the other day. Think about this logically.
We know that AC2 is a bust, and that the main sorce of income for Turbine is AC1, right?
Well, WHY would any company KNOWINGLY destroy it's prime source of income? (Which is what they have been doing, slowly, over the past several months).
They are not doing it to drive people to AC2, they may have STARTED with that intention, but we know that's not what is happeneing now. More and more people are coming from AC2 to AC1. SOooooooo what would be the reason?
I believe they want the revenue to drop so that it will be easier to get it back from MS, then they will roll with it.
However, they are running the risk, of losing what customer base they have left after the past several months of garbage they have been tossing at us.

Hey, they gave us fishing... that should be enough to keep everyone interested for a few more months.

Ok. More rumors.
The fact that Zyrca got hired for AC1 means something.
She is the author of 'Einstein', with its pocket mage, and Orienteer, with its following function.
Rumor is that she's to program some pets/familiars for AC1.

Yes, that's them. At least that's what they say.

So....... I just thought about the idea of us not having to deal with MS.
1st thing was, wow! no more zone / passport sh*t to deal with.
then what about +admin? UCM?, COC would stay the same?
Would they advertise? (would be nice to get some new people)
And lastly would they make an other expansion? or even a sequel (there version of AC2)
I think if it would happen, most of us would enjoy the out come.

I'd be all for another expansion pack ... especially if it had a graphics upgrade.
There is no point to creating a sequel. Why wouldn't they just make AC1 better?
