Their outlook for the game industry looks bright for 2003 - consumer spending worldwide may surpass $1.1 trillion(!), increasing 3.7% from 2002. Driven by the growth of broadband connections, wireless (cell phone) entertainment, and the influence of next-gen consoles, PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts that the videogame industry will become the U.S. market's fastest growing sector of the entertainment and media category this year. News Source: Evil Avatar View: Gamasutra hope this means players can get a tiny refund to celebrate, or perhaps a month added to the subscript of thier game :-) Master Tinkfu The Gearless __________________ Route 666

Guaranteed. Sorry to burst your bubble. To them your a dollar sign, not a refund ticket. The only time you will see a bonus is either you first sign up as a promotional tool or if the company is sliding under and want to keep their people by giving them 'perks' so as not to lose them to someone else in competition. __________________ Zantaklawz Proud to be an at EQ Roleplayers!
