Well, the reason I posted this is Mephisto and several other people have made some huge strides in fixing the AI... but it's always nice to have it be "official". This is why it makes sense to me, for them (MM) to post an AI enhancement patch based on Mephisto and companies work, and then get back to the TCP/IP.
By the way, I guarentee only .1% people will actually finish a TCP/IP game unless they are unemployed or retired. The games are simply too big and long, and most people would get bored after spending 15 hours on-line with someone. You'd have to have 2 incredibly insane people dedicated to each other in an almost sick kinda way...
