SEIV Standard (paid for) -VS- SEIV GOLD

[Fyron]

While I'm waiting for the CD to arrive, should be about four days, is there anywhere I can download the Gold so I can get started?

No.

Is MM doin' better financially now?

To my knowledge, yes.

Oh.. hell.. While I'm here, I would like to say Howdy to Suicide Junkie and Atrocities, I don't know if I love you guys or detest you.

All I remember is searching high and low for formidable AI's and New Mods and seein' your names pop up.

Just want to let you two know that someone out there appreciates your work and effort in the SEIV community, even if folks like myself aren't very active or vocal about it. Though, I do remember the nightmare of downloading multiple Versions of the same races. I remember the long hours of tryin' to debug the mess I made with all the downloads and races and mods. I blame you, both of you for that time lost.

Well, that's it, I'm gonna go away now, but again, thanks, and I'm eager to get my CD so I can get started again!

Oh, yeah, did you all know it costs over $50 to ship same day!? I opted for the UPS ground, it's gonna be a Loooooong four days.

How about just a friendly "I'd invite these guys over for a beer and an SE4 LAN party" attitude?

Well personally I think Gold was well worth it. So much so that even though I could have got a free copy for being a beta testor I chose to purchase a copy instead. Just from a perspective of how much time spent playing I have got a lot mroe out of SE4 then any other game I have purchased.

SE4 ties with Civ 2 for most time out of a game for me.

way back when, a good number of members spoke about an upgrade to the game for various reasons, mods, new races, etc, after awhile MM decided to release an upgrade (Gold) which would have all the mods, new races etc on the one cd, it also included a number of upgrades to the game itself in various areas, ie; drones and more. All or most of the modders all chipped in and helped create updated mods for the game and they were put on the cd along with the game. Which helped some of us more non computer literate people who had problems downloading mods etc.

In reality, Gold is an upgraded Version and well worth the cost if you enjoy the game. Nothing said you had to buy it, that was and is ones own choice to purchase. There are mods etc out there for the classic game as well as the gold Version. It depends on what you want or would like to play.

IMHO Gold is was well worth the cost, As far as I can remember, Gold came out after numerous requests from players and forum members, I don't believe MM originally intended to put out a Gold Version, How would they have known the number of mods etc that came about. But when they saw the support and interest they decided to put out an upgraded Version

just some ideas mac

Hmm... guess I listened to the wrong rumor then.
