Thanks so much!

I've been playing this game since I downloaded a demo in 1999. I still have the two original dics. I currently have 5 versions on 3 computers.

So it is with a great deal of gratitude that I see all of the efforts being made to keep this great game alive. I know that for the many who worked on these upgrades that it was a labor of love, because I can't see much money in it. No doubt a lot of folks put in literally hundreds of hours on this project and some previous ones [ NEXUS, PUMPKIN 2, etc. ]. To those people I say thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been playing the most recent build, 2.2.1, and it's nothing less than awesome. Of course I still do 1.10 and 1.11 from time to time just to be retro.

In any event, I just wanted to express my deep appreciation for a tremendous job very well done.

I also see some old timers here like Lav Coyote and Whippersnapper [ aka Rman Virgil ] and I am very impressed with the skills of the current developers and modders.

All I can say in closing is please keep up the great work, and thanks a million once again.

Hey there, welcome. Good to hear a pre-liberation shout-out. I don't recall the nick but perhaps you had another back in the day. Not that it matters here, really.

What's yet to come will keep WZ fresh for many years down the road.. Stuff like ECMs-Cloaking, the New Renderer, Beta-Widget, LUA Scripting to name but a few highlights on the WRP development road map.

No doubt a lot of folks put in literally hundreds of hours on this project and some previous ones [ NEXUS, PUMPKIN 2, etc. ]. T.

Literally, thousands.... and I think you meant NEWST and not "NEXUS"... Never was a fan team that worked on WZ called NEXUS but on the other hand, NEWST was indispensable to us even having this exchange here and now, without a doubt.

And by that last I am led to a rambling stream of consciousness.....so be forewarned if such doesn't fit with the tidy sensibilities of denial, etc........

Net memory can so tend to folks on bongs, daily dosing; seeing the illusion of no continuity as real like spontaneous generation, an obsolete theory on the origin of life from inanimate matter,. But perhaps it is just another instance of Thomas Wolfe's "You Can't Go Home Again" or folks just plain 'fraid to speak up which is totally mystifying in a medium of mostly impenetrable anonymity. Times have surely changed us in cyberspace, and the other way 'round.. But I digress into a muse of no consequence. Still, somewhere in that circle, crude and trifling, could be a compelling smidgen, I'll venture, to those yet of a Socratic bent - something redeeming, would be swell, however the chips fall.

Regards, whipper, aka Rman
