    I agree on the name. My first thought was ‘greener grass’. It also doesn’t surprise me they would have regret both in the short and long term after they faded away.

    The desire to not have to ‘manage’ a growing company is understandable. It’s a shame they had to watch as the direction of the game they loved veered away from their vision.

      Yeah, it’s also interesting… I rewatched an interview they did for RuneScape’s 15th birthday about well, RuneScape.

      Andrew Gower mentioned how RuneScape was more built off of board game inspired mechanics vs being an action game (and basically goes on to imply the engine was not built for EoC).

      If you look at Brighter Shores it’s really making that connection to board games much more obvious in its art style.
