It is truly fascinating to witness and begin to comprehend the levels of
programming that Verant put into this. This is the third major math
mistake we've seen that I can recall off the top of my head*, and it took
how long to fix? And there have been (and continue to be) how many
mistakes in the text-based portions of the game?

Nevertheless, I suppose we should be thankful that things are getting
fixed at all. But I wonder how long it will be until the focus of the
company shifts, and EQ is no longer a priority?
