Hail to the past! That sounds really promising. I've no doubt that many of the old(er) dogs will return when Shadow & Myst sees light - even those who think that they've left for good - but if done right, this is quite likely to speed up the process and keep them here for a long time. And although I suppose relying on a small hardcore player club to sustain the game is not the most profitable business path, it certainly ensures the highest loyalty levels from the players in the long run (including financial loyalty). If that is what you are aiming for, you are certainly heading in the right direction.
