Few are able to look at the game anew (hint: it is possible, even without dementia or other disability), and not nearly enough are new players. But that is to be expected, with the little promotion there was being targeted at old players (email subscribers and current/recent players spreading word). Also it looks like an old game but that is not necessarily a problem. It could use new content and mechanics, both for those rushing for end game and others, but that is up to the resources, willingness and creativity of some "higher up-s"; I think they may be a bit short on all three. They're certainly taking their time with adding new content, and have we ever seen any updates that wasn't just a new area, more bonus stats, or the success-fail system in a new form?
