Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
I think SE5 is in the same category... its got a graphics engine rivaling tech from 1998. The actual gameplay is more or less identical to SE4. Its just the clunky interface holding it back, for the most part. Games like GalCiv, Sword of the Stars, MOO3, have lots of glitz and glamor. SE5 is pretty basic in comparison (which is a good thing). There is a fair amount of mod work and discussion going on for the game, but much of it takes place on the official site these days, rather than here. :-\

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
The official site has a lot of traffic these days. I still like the format of this site over that of the official site and perhaps thats why I seldom if ever post on the official site. We all knew that this would happen as new people joined the ranks of SE fans that they would gravitate toward the official site thus taking along with them the more seasoned veterans of the game.
Some vets however just wanted to be top dawg at the new site so they pretty much said good bye to this site the moment that site opened.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
You're right AT, some gratitude shown toward the site that actually helped make SE5 what it is by making a thread to Aaron, about what people wanted to see in the next version. While the faithful remain here at one of the best sites I've ever had the privilege of being on. I never had any problems getting help here and after a while I found myself in a position to help other. I  this site!!!  |

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
I still play and mod my SEIV game. It's just a better game. I also play GalCiv2 alot. I just feel SEV is not a fun game.

No not really Fyron. I would say this was fact not my usual pessimism.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
One of the reason the official site has grown is because of the efforts and dedication of vets that once made this site a great place to be. Time marches on and the newness of an official site for SE was a long over due event.

I actually agree with AT on this one, we have seen multiple vets simply up and leave shrapnel to begin posting solely on se5.com for no reason that I can see other than to be the big man over there. I admit I would be over there too if the site layout didn't disgust me as much as se5's interface....

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
Why do you guys assume some sort of egotism? Isn't a simpler explanation just that some people would prefer to use the official game forums? Or perhaps they went to the more active place?
