Ok, i apologise. I've since read the link and agree with what you're saying (either that I have a completely differing understanding but whatever, it's good). My concern was that CF is one game with one codebase. It's rather hard to create "innovation" for CF as opposed to just variations on the theme.

Reading through the link and thinking of various concerns/threads/arguments that have raged on various forums it's actually obvious that there are many games within the beast that is CF.

Pk'ing, RP, Exploration, Quests, etc.

Innovation/development within these key areas develops overall appeal of the game and appeal to players who seek different things other than the extremely mature CF.

That kind of what you're thinking?
