You would've enjoyed it. Every month had a theme, released new items to go with that theme, and they really listened to what players wanted in the game. Since POTCO is a subscription-based game, I wish they would listen to players more. They would have a spike in subscriptions, getting more money, making more updates, which is just a continuous cycle. VMK didn't have anyone paying them and they did a better job than POTCO is currently.

I realize it's not fair to compare the games, but in my opinion, POTCO pales in comparison to VMK. I would love to see POTCO adopt a program to the "Community Leader" position that they had in VMK. Putting players that show great interest and love for the game and have always been nice to players into a "official" position in a sense would help with the moderation of the game and would let the developers and other staff focus on testing new things and tweaking them while the social problems of the games are taken care of otherwise.

Other than that, I agree with Captain luke. The things they've announced so far need to happen before we can start thinking up new ideas for the game part of the game to improve on anything else.
