Well i have about 12 lever arch files about a game i have designed, i just dont have the software, hardware or manpower to build it. but i'll see what they think.

nice idea but they don't do that sort of thing there area is Sports, Racing and SEGA All star games. The only MMORPG made in the UK is Runescape and that's not very impressive. But you never know they could move into that arena if they think they can make enough money out of it.

They Do, i hope to work for them soon, or at least get to see what they do, as i believe if they did a MMORPG i think i could offer alot in ideas. been playing computer games for 15 years (i know im sad)
