Just as in any online game, > you can find your share of l337 d00ds running around... I agree completely, try it out. Found myself a solo player in other MMORPG's too, but this game...cough, this beta, changed that. IMHO, it's gonna be a killer, but for being able to give more details on why...NDA lift soon. :) I'll only say this: it's the first game since Elite itself that gave me the drive and motivation to play more and more; the 'Elite'-feeling was back. Very dangerous. :) As for E&B...played it for about a week, then did the old uninstall. Cheers, Johan
