That's a good point. If we really want SE5 to succeed, then we need to be prepared for a lot of new players to the game - and, if this is THE forum for SE5 then it will need to be ready.
However, I am not sure this will be the official forum - given that Shrapnel will not sell SE5, I suspect that whichever company does will have an official forum - which may very well be less rigorous (in terms of friendliness, intellectual level, maturity, etc...)...
But, really this is all sort of premature...and I do sound a bit arrogant in the above statement...I am reminded of the truism that every generation thinks the newcomer generation is composed of losers/slackers who didn't suffer and grow like they did....so...nevermind! Progress is progress.

I’m surprised at you guys. MM has decided to take the game retail, which means that the majority of the people introduced to it will be kids. And this is “the” SE forum at the moment. It’s not a private forum purely reserved for the use of a few SE hardliners. I would imagine that SG would like it to generate traffic and new customers for their games. Thing are going to change, and a lot of the old guard won’t like the results, but such is life.
