Have you ever done a write up of how you started, what kind of
feature set you had to originally bring players in, when you
introduced your revenue model & etc? I know you've made passing
comments about these things, but a little history of Achaea would be
fascinating. Of course I realise you might see it as giving away
competitive advantage, so I won't be offended if you don't want to
comment in any depth.
