Completely disagree that RoK's simplicity is a good thing to mimic. It worked back then, sure, and we love the nostalgia of it, but there are games my 5yr old nephew plays that boast more complexity and appeal.

I was musing today how GMUDs have game mechanics that modern games just don't mimic very well... Loaded up RoK forums from the nostalgic thoughts and saw this :O
