Videos and what not looked cool. but then I saw some screenshots/pictures and I wasn't impressed.
Graphics don't mean a whole lot to me, but at least put some effort in it. I'm way past the 2D, top-down view.

I know they reached 400,000 from November 4-21. I'm a bit surprised it took them this long to add on another 100.

I wonder if they fixed the Subway bug. I was on a few weeks ago and the players in the tutorial were all stuck there wandering around. Because "zOMG" does not have an adequate bug reporting or GM assistance system (it didn't then), we were pretty much permanently stuck. After struggling with the broken customer feedback form, all I received in a response was an apology. Despite my gripes, the game does look like fun, I just hope they have worked out some of the major kinks in it (like being unable to actually play the game, which is definitely major).
