I don't mind if you are actually asked to seek out the gems of content from a sea of mundane....like mentioned before, finding relevant content at every step really makes the game seem contrived and the universe very artifical.....

I get your point. But in truth if you look close enough there are very few spots on earth with nothing on them. There is always some life on or nearby every ecosystem (and every micro-cosim). Take a walk in the woods in this part of the world and I can't walk 2 feet without finding something alive and interesting. The problem is a subjective one. We are all interested in different things however.

A game world can and never will be even 1/100th the detail of the real world. Comparing the 2 (in my mind) is moot.

That said; I agree with you, I dont mind digging a bit for content in exchange for a large amound of virtual space to wander around in. The parts that are empty my imagination will fill in. They call it intentional suspention of disbeleif, and I think it makes one more thoroughly enjoy gaming.

I got the winning ticket email.

I confirmed that ticket at MMORPG.com and officially won the contest (with 250 others). But I have not ever received the beta access account key. Or any other information on this... i'm in the dark.

I posted over at the spellborn forums to see if anyone had any insight on this contest hosted by mmorpg.com and have yet to recieve an official response. 

I'd sure like to know whats going on...

P.S. If anyone knows whats going on please PM me.

Do you really think this is the most appropriate forum or website to be posting about this topic on? The internet is a big place, there are other websites. If you want to be armchair historians/politicians/journalists on important issues such as this... take it to a forum that is informed on these issues. After all would you really go to the guardian forums and ask whether an iskar SK is more powerful than a NightElf druid?

Get real(er).
