Condolences JK.
I know what it became. You know I did my part to combat it (at least I hope very much I didnt aid in it)

I truly wish you a return to the good times in the present endeavor even if Im not around to try and buffer against the friendly fire.

I love this line:

We do not, however start out aiming for a greater scale. Start small and
let the organics of creativity work - grow, grOW, GROW ... ping: game
finished! Blubb, blubb, flush! Game doesn't stop growing.

JK: Is Gandalf just interpreting there, or was dom3 really somehow ruined for you by a handful of people complaining about certain things in the game?

Maybe I just lack the context, but the comment "Ah, that text file brings back memories from the good old times" doesn't seem to me to be cause for condolences.

Heehee.
I think that if JK and KO were the type of people to state that any action of the community irritated them then we would have heard such things long ago. The quotes are quotes. Read them however you want. They are likely to be about as clear on the subject as is going to happen in a public forum.

IMHO of course. (I get to do that now dont I?)

Of course not, I'm quite happy with dom3. That things were better in the old times just comes naturally with old age, so don't take it too seriously.

Speaking of the good old days, its funny how the old games with bad graphics seemed so much better than most of the stuff on the market today. Aside from Dominions of course, I feel like PC gaming peaked with MOO2 and MMVI. Not sure if its just b/c things were so new back then or b/c I'm just an old codger who had to walk in a blizzard to school uphill both ways

Graphics aren't all that important, to me at least, if I like the game story and theme I'll like the game. That's why I still keep playing Lords of the Realm II or M.A.X. which are rather old games.

Most of the new games have little to offer, other than great graphics along with bigger system requirements that demand new computer parts.

MMVI? Would that be Might and Magic VI?
MOO2? Master of Orion?

Better to play a good game with bad graphics than a bad game with good graphics.

I just did a coiuple of weeks session of revisiting:
Diablo 2
Space Empires IV
Stars!

Now Im about to swing back to grab a couple of Dom3 games, return to the MUD I host (Shadowdale), and possibly return to the player-run Ultima Online world that I semi-host (Shazzys).

Considering present economic situations I love that some old games are so replayable.

Yep - and I totally agree.
