RE: I suggest to continue the Foundation program
@Jetah Great suggestions.
Personally, I'd like to see it stay and serve some purpose.. I think it's a well designed system that has seemed to work well. The community engagement during such early design stages has far surpassed anything I've seen around other new ip or projects with similar resources.

RE: Volunteer GM Program
Professional is the way to go. AO made this mistake with community in-game chat and discord moderators.. Needless to say, every other day there's posts about undeserved global mutes, chat bans, and guild loyalties causing abuses. A professional paid group won't be able to be tarnished by such accusations. Don't skimp on support IMO.

RE: Will Fractured upgrade on what Albion Online did
Some of those cons man.. Not alt friendly? It couldn't be more the opposite! In short, you needs alts to do anything well and or profitably. Alts = more island, more crafting focus, and more LP. If you're in the 5v5 game, alts = more GVGs..
A bunch of that list seems opinionated, or misinformed from previous iterations of the game. I worry if Fractured will be subjected to the same judgement of betas past when it finally launches..
Albion is doing well, it's turned a corner IMO since the founding CEO left. They've had some really solid updates since he left and today's Oberon announcement only further proves that point. Dynamic dungeons, lower barrier of entry to starter weapon unlocks and gathering lines, plus new mobs and bosses among other things.
I hope Fractured does borrow the best bits of Albion, it took years to make the game what it is. Yeah, there are still things that could be improved.. but it's a start. Fractured will reap the rewards of all the testing phases of AO, content releases, and player feedback. Then with a couple of years work, we could really have something here.
