Yeah, I don't understand why bring it back. Wasn't it an utter failure back in the day? I did read a lot of mixed reviews of this game, so I'm not sure if it was any good.

I wonder if this is a result of the big shots they hired a couple of months ago.  So far, I haven't been able to attribute anything to their hires.

They haven't split development resources enough yet?

Maybe it is time to lower my expectations.

I just read that the cat followed up by visiting the dog house later that night, dropping some Willie Pete in on the sleeping dog.  #epochsfamiliarFTW

It seems like Epoch never loses his popularity.
Even against donuts.

On the bright side:

Re-using old stuff has a limited extend in how terrible it can be. On the other hand creating something new...

It only costs the amount of whatever server hardware they allocate to it.  If they can get a few thousand people to pay a subscription fee for just a couple of months, then they can see a quick, minor profit and then abandon it again.

Makes sense to me with Turbine's current business model of "squeeze as much profit out of existing games as possible without worrying about long term viability of the game".
