[Ragnarok]

First of all I can't stand finite resources.

"too bad thay can't put out a special patch that would put all of us on the same page. (IE upgrade 1.49 to 1.78 gold, or whatever the current patch # will be). I am a little supprized they didn't do that when the "gold" was released. "Gold" should be the final Version of a game, not a new Version. The gold should have been called SEV, and they would be working on SE6 now. It just strikes me as odd."

Reason they didn't make a patch from 1.49 to gold is there are too many hard code changes to the game. In other words all changes are not made just in the data files like most of the patches. There were changes in the exe file.
To me it makes perfect sense to do it this way. If they would've made Gold, SEV. I wouldn't like it probably. I mean when you go from IV to V you should have alot of big changes, interface changes or what have you. Just as III did when it went to IV, or II did when it went to III. There just wasn't enough big changes to validate it being SEV IMO.
