Oh, what a shame.
I wonder, is dom-III player pool on a shrinking tendency?- or is the "old" blood fading

I after say once my current games finish, I think I will stop playing Dom3 MP. Basically, I have played it to death and it just takes up far, far too much free time. I hate playing Dom3 in the summer (when there are much better stuff to do) but its great for the autumn/winter. Games however generally take 9 months to a year to complete and I virtually always reach the endgame. Sooner or later you just after say enough is enough, I will always think of it as one of the greatest games I have ever played thou.

Lingchih, I now think I better understand your point.
So the HoFers can beat the others and HoFers only games are very hard to complete w/o frustration since no one can expand easily and everyone who seems more powerful will get dog-piled.

Meglobob, I both understand and sympathize with your sentiments and am sorry to hear that.

I think both Artifacts and Sharivar are good example of how games can get "stuck" when no one gets an easy lead over the others and run away with the game.

I personally still prefer to play with vets rather than newbs and do have a niche spot for dom MPing that I plan to keep, until the next FTBS jewel is released. I had hopes for elemental but I somehow lost them - I now dread it would end up being a boring "spreadsheet" game.

As for dom-IV - I fear it will never happen.
