The time we have been able to talk to the staff of Quest Online has indeed been very interesting. If their fans are devoted to them they certainly deserve it. One thing I have noticed is that the more successful a company (any company not just game developer) starts to get the more they start to develop the “800 pound Gorilla” attittude. The people at Quest Online care about their community, they keep close ties to the community, and most importantly (and what few studios do) involve them in the development of the game.

Thanks for the comment. They are always appreciated.

I was going to say, talking to Quest Online’s people must have been interesting. In six or seven years of following MMORPGs I don’t think I’ve ever seen a company which had such slavishly devoted and loyal fans on their official forums.. and such universal and unanimous condemnation from the entire rest of the internet.
