No UM2?

Wait, am I taking the news from SE.org right? After all this talk and all this plugging Hadrian is not going to release the Ulitmate Mod?

That is just crazy. Did Malfador shoot it down or something? Does it not work properly? Why aren't you going to release it? I am so confused.

Well this really sucks. I liked that site!

Please explain what you mean by this. Thanks.

I'm just guessing from what I heard, but the UM or Ultimate Mod is probably a VERY LARGE mod and needs to be placed somewhere that has the bandwidth to handle the downloads. Am I correct?

From what I know, the UM2 mod is heavy on graphics, so that would make it really big off the bat. Hadrian could probably elaborate more...

I thought you were going to sell it.

Nobody is going to pay for a mod.
Good intentions maybe, but to charge 10 dollars a "pop" is ridiculous to many.

This is the first of a few Posts concerning the UM2. Well the background of this story anyway.

SE.org's Future
Rumors, Facts, and the Future is being addressed
By Hadrian T Aventine. Filed at 4:46 am
Orlando FL, IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Many of you have heard or know that SE.org has been running on fumes. These Rumors are facts, Little cash remains in the reserves to pay our monthly expenses and a series of bad events in my life have made replensing those reserves. Thanks must be given to a few helpful fans of SpaceEmpires like Fang Tsu and Kenneth Frye we have been granted a few more months of life.

While I had completed both the Ultimate Mod II and SpaceEmpires.org 9 Last month, I decided not to release them because of some serious complaints I have with the community - and still do. In some ways, I felt SE.org didn't have a purpose or a reason to stay Online and I began preparations to shut SE.org down at the end of next month.

But thanks to the presistance of various members in the community, I'm changing my mind. I don't know if I can keep SE.org Online, but I know I'll try. I'm streamlining SE.org too - so I can provide even more with less bandwidth consumption.

SE.org will need more and more help over the coming months to stay Online, but not just financial help. 20 bucks a month keeps us Online for now, but we need manpower. We need people to help post news, check the site for errors, post strategies, and populate this site with information.

So, I hope, that in the next month and a half I can unviel SpaceEmpires.org X to all of the community.

I know tim, that is what prompet me to post this.

As for paying for it, I know I probably wouldn't, however some stated they would.

Also, I was wondering exactly how big this thing is currently?

The reason for the lack of UM2 seems kind of obvious: "I decided not to release them because of some serious complaints I have with the community - and still do."

Which is too bad because I'm not really sure what those complaints are and am pretty sure they are not directed at me.
