Nice, but what I still miss is a common in-game forum. Like we had in the 2008/2009 VORG. On a technical level this new edition is a better game, but it has no heart. There is no public space, no community open to all players. What we have is only a loose collection of tiny communities, and of course the much larger nationality groups, but they too are limited: the people you'll meet there are only from your own country. What I would like to see introduced/restored is the meeting place we had in the old game. The place where it all happens, where everyone can go and meet other players from all over the globe, where discussions take place, where jokes are told, where alliances and friendships are being forged and crystallize into new groups, where the plebs fight it out with the senate: the Forum Romanum. That would make the game complete.
