Since David Bowman and James Jones ripped the founder's company away from him, this game and company has been a storm of lies and flase promises.

Lets hope the AE.Corp doesn't succeed in it's protection and dies.

The fat lady is warming up for this one...

There are no investors waiting to bail out this company, there is simply nothing about this game or company that is worth investing in. Poorly run, shrinking subscriber base, inability to release new content or fix bugs in a timely manner... who the heck would throw more money at this project? I know there are stupid people out there, but this stupid?

Perhaps I'm wrong...

Well I hope any investor that thinks about saving Bowmans salary checks out

The day that happened was the day I decided not to have anything to do with Horizon's. Just desserts .... probabally.

David Allen got canned and the game died on that day. Thats all there is to it.

Well.. while David Allen's vision of the game was a much better one, it probably was also something that would have never been able to get released. Was way way way too ambitious. Would have been something though.

The problem is, it would have been better for everyone if they killed the whole thing when they showed Allen the door. Instead, they released a boring EQ clone that wasn't even worthy of being called a EQ clone.
