I'm sure if EA had any plans on implementing new ideas they would have shared or leaked the info to us by now, either through the community or PTE. Everybody advertises change and new products and i can't recall seeing no new adverts except for new FA worlds launching.
Dreams of change are nice but which changes would or should they try? There are so many different things they could try. Which changes would actually fit into the model that they use for the game thus far??
Then i guess they need to list the the potential changes some place that could be used to give the community (customers) a chance to comment to see where the player interest is (formally). Then they need to figure out how to implement any changes that they may have.
Oh and lets not forget, what would it actually cost, and what would the real gains against cost and implementation be? Maybe the game has reached its limit with financial return over investment? For us its a game (we can play or leave it) but for EA it is a business with investment which they need returns.
Like i said at start "I'm sure if EA had any plans on implementing new ideas they would have shared or leaked the info to us by now" they haven't at least not that any are aware of, so for me its play on........
Need to keep the customers they already have so a more evenly spread server variation is a good starting point? Many players i have played beside are leaving the game due to lack of server type which they wish to play. Others (i am an example) sit around on old servers waiting for the new server of the type they like to play and while they sit they spend very little. Gamers spend much more on a new server and very little on old ones. Non of that can be good business.
Where is the long awaited Classic server (or any non FA) ?
Variety is the spice of life..... give us something new without FA ;-)
