Relic looks into RPG's and MMO's, looks also for people

Relic is best known for real-time strategy, so in truth, this isn't a very major deviation from prior games. If you've not heard of Relic, some of their titles of renown are Company of Heroes and Homeworld. Now, Relic is looking for developers and designers to assist them in creating a super-secret RPG and an MMO game. Console announcements are completely mum, but Relic did release an action/strategy title for the 360 earlier called The Outfit, so it's a fairly safe bet to say at the minimum, the games will see light on the 360. Probably the PS3, too. That's about it. It would be cool to have an RPG with a similar setting to these other games. Heck, anything aside from the generic fantasy/sci-fi fare would be welcome. Give us a WWII RPG for once. It might not be that great, but it's different enough to warrant an effort. Anyone else have any good, moderately original settings for an RPG? Maybe you should apply to work on this. I'm considering it. Lightly. Very lightly.

"...looks for people as well"?
Sorry, I'm picky and it looks funny to me. :p It could totally be within the rules of the English language, but something about it seems broken.
Other than that I have no comment on the story.

@ Andir2.0 -- it does look weird, but it's okay. It's one of those awkward looking phrases, kind of like saying "how do you mean?" instead of saying "what?". Just thought I'd respond because it gave me a laugh. Thanks!

yeah...So this is not even in the of same subject but i wanna tell the story...
I got One. In fact I was the first one in line. I saw the post you guys left on rumors of ps3's commin on black friday. I went to the sony store on madison and waited Alone from 3pm thursday to 9 am friday...yes, I was the very first one. I wasnt even sure if they were goin to be getting any ps3's in...but I miss my first chance(thats another story)so i wasnt going to miss this one.At around 9pm thurday (thanksgiving night) a russian guy showed up..he was Number two, like the guy from Austin Powers,j/k..anyway...it was 6 people by 12am on friday and it was raining. I tryed to put my mind somewhere alse (mostl likely dreaming about having the ps3 in my arms)_seriously) About 4 in the morning there was 17 people waiting in line. I still wasnt sure if it was a rumor or if it was true, Just keapt my hopes up. At 7Am when the stores open..a guy came ou and said that they had to wait for the mannager to know how they were going to do it. I thought it was...how they were going to tell the bad news to all the people that had gathered over the night especially me.Ohh yeah, we also had a cop with us waiting his name was peter..so we had a guy willing to shoot the windows out incase drastic messures had to be used to get our grimey little hands on a ps3.SSssoooo 9 in the morn is here and they let us know that they had about 15 ps3's...guess how many people had accumulated? Ill tell you 150+...not even lying. I walked up drunk tired...the first one to enter the store...felt like a celeb..kinda. The guy asked me what would i like to purchase..and I calmly said......Playstaion 3...the 60 gig.....thank you. he said that will be $651.00...I dont think ived ever given that much money so Happily.
But it was scary, when I left the store i walked around to my work building on park and i went back to the line. People in front of the line were excited for me..but when i was getting to the end people were kinda getting violent and demanding 700-900-100-1200$ for the system im all like no no...but that was half of it..i live in brooklyn.I had to look crazy and put the ps3 in a big trash bag...one looked at me funny i looked at him like i wanted to rob him and he left me alone...but Now i have it and I loooved it..I like be one of the few ones to have it.
Again thank you Ps3 Fanboy, if it wasnt for you i woulnt have it right now....Oh and I have Gengi and Ressistance....one Im out
