((THIS WAS ORIGINALLY AN EMAIL SENT BUT WAS RETURNED BECAUSE EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGED))
Hello! First, allow me to say, happy Thanksgiving! I write this email to you today in regards to your beautiful game, Ashes of Creation; but first abit about me! I am an old gamer who had the pleasure of playing pioneer MMO games such as Everquest, EQ2, and World of Warcraft. After a strong and long competitive gaming career in WoW (both PvE/PvP Content) I lost sense of interest in MMO style games. After a few years I tried out other MMO games and couldn't find one to become excited about. Once Sony announced Everquest Next my excitement was once again sparked and waiting eagerly just to find out the game was scraped.
For a few months I gave up again until researching other games. I found a game called Ashes of Creation that once again sparked my excitement and interest, but just a bit more than Everquest. I write this letter to you today to tell you there are many people like me in this world who are looking and waiting for the next great MMO and many of us feel this one will be the one. Please, do not scrap this project or attempt to fail without asking those of us in the community for help! We need this game just as much as you want to give it to us! When can we expect Alphas/Betas? How do we qualify for this? Is there a way to increase our chances? Thank you for your time, not even really sure you guys will read this email through. But if you do, thank you very much and I hope someday I will get to play this game!
