I just rejoined after a one year hiatus. I've rejoined, and I like what's
happened.  Here are some of the changes as I see it:

Kieth is now in charge of MI; Jack (who was in charge) has shifted over to
their Magic:tG area (I believe).

They're getting KVC to do the programming for MI now (I think they did Quest).
This gives me mixed reactions. I prefer the idea of Jack doing the programming
(or at least someone other than KVC; I didn't like the 'quality' in Quest),
but it's better than no programmer.

All the various dark places have been made available; it's just a matter of
finding out how to get inside.

They still have not added the area to the east, but I've heard that they are
close.

That's about all I can think of at this point. They must be doing something
right, as I've heard of a number of players picking up the game again
(including myself).

If you've got any other questions don't hesitate to drop me a line

Mike.
