With SEIVG coming out soon, Does any one still play SEIV?

Being a new player, I'll probably comtinue with the Non-Gold Version until you veterans get it well checked out.

I know little compared to the guys at PBW.

I got my pants beat off of me more than once. Too bad I got sick and could not focus on my Last game.

I was winning when I left.

SEIV or SEIVG are excellent games. Most of us agree that SEIVG will be a great game, and I for one am egar to get my hands on it.

I am not burned out yet, just taking my time and relishing every second of this game. Its not often that a person can find a game that has so much to offer for so little. I have been lucky, I have found 5 games in my life that I love. SEIV is Currently #1, then Tribes 2, Tribes, BOTF, and Rebellion - tied with - SimCity series.

Yeah, I still play SE IV against the AI too

.

Finally (after a year) getting the "hang" of 3D modeling and hopefully have the majority of a race style (less AI) done this week-end. Prolly do a basic AI for SE IV and then re-do when gold comes out.

I have only had the game a month. I'm still learning so it is all new. I love the constant surprises like the subverters that captured one of my ships. At the moment I find it to be one huge multilayered puzzle. I have yet to finish more than half of the technology tree. Hmm, I hope Growltigga does not see this.

I'm another Newbie. In fact, unless I misread the web-site, I may have been the lucky soul who purchased the Last copy of SEIV before it went out of print!

I wanted to start right away, so I got what was available, rather than waiting for Gold. Perhaps by then, I'll know what I'm doing!

A lot of other Newbies here, huh? Maybe we should make a Newbie PBW game?

I still play SE IV almost daily. I have several different solo games in progress, using different mods and/or races; I'll continue with whichever game suits my immediate mood.

I just joined one PBW game, and have started a second which is still looking for players ("Know Your Enemy").

The Gold release date is too far away for me to wait for. I'm probably going to install Gold on a different computer, and keep playing both.

I've been playing SEIV for a couple of months (addictive game!). Ran across it looking for a good play by email game I could do with my brother and friends (my brother does shift work so real time is not an option). I got him one of the Last copies of SEIV for xmas and we have started playing. What I would like to know is that if we want to start up a game with some friends before SEIV Gold is out, are we out of luck (as you can't order new copies of SEIV)? Also, will there be a utility to upgrade an inprogress game from SEIV to SEIV-Gold?
