    There are still people saying the game is dead.

    AND YET, IT LIVES.

    One way or looking at it is it's as dead or alive as you make it. :D:D:D

    A much more accurate way of looking at it, however, is... yea we could use some more players. Not great, but not terrible either.

    Some of the changes in the 'done' and 'to be tested' section excite me greatly :)

    Yea, I can't wait how that hitreg fix and the "attempted to sync invalid collision rep" investigation will turn out. Maybe I shall be skilled player yet! ;)

    oh my gawd, the list of client side fixes is just phenomenal. Holy crap. McGlaspie and co are absolute geniuseseses.
    I can confirm a considerable performance boost.
    The patch release shouldn't be far from now. Build machine upgrade got in the way I think. Better safe then sorry.

    Yes. You missed the indigogo but there will be a store soon. The crowd funding completed in about 48 hours also for $9000.

    Oh, yes it will. Look at NS1, has better gameplay and runs well on everyone's machines. But it's dead and old.

    To be fair, most multiplayer games die off eventually. Oldest active games I can think of are Starcraft, CS, and maybe Everquest.

    Single player games usually fare well. Doom, Descent, MYST.

    RIP tribes. RIP...

    i didn't think anyone really played doom, descent, or myst any more. aside from the one-off nostalgia trips. hell, i replay the original x-com from time to time...but i can't imagine wanting to play doom (too choppy, quake 1 is miles better in terms of graphical/movement experience), descent (terribad graphics, descent 2 much better in every category), or myst again.

    Whaaat? No, man. I have a list of games I play every two years to remind myself of what works in games and doesn't. Descent used to be on the list, but I haven't played it since I bought it again off GOG. I tried to play Myst again as well, but the time investment is just so significant.

    ok, well substitute 'anyone' with 'an insignificant percentage of gamers' and the point still stands.

    I'd substitute that with most of the "classics" now older than ten years old at this point, except maybe Nintendo games.

    I replay Doom almost every year. I'm on Thy Flesh Consumed right now, actually.

    I really liked Riven. Have you played that one yet?
