Let's just hope that SE5 does not drive away half of the Online SE4 community like SE4 drove away half of the Online SE3 community...

Why did SE4 drive away the SE3 community?

Some of the SE3 veterans did not care for SE4 due to changes in the way construction worked, or combat, etc. And then I think there was all sorts of disputes between SE4 fans and SE3 fans and so on...but I wasn't really involved too much during those days so I can't speak much about it.

I think SE5 is going to go much better since there will be a lot more fan input in the game compared to the SE3-SE4 transitition.

My only gripe in the change from SE3 to SE4 was research. I still prefer SE3-style research. Though SE4-style kind of grew on me.

Old games dont die, they just fade away.

Heres to the community that made the game worth coming back to for four years, and that will keep me coming back until SE5.

Cheers.

I think Aaron and malfador realize that one of,if not the biggest draw to SEIV is it's modability.Therefore i really don't think they'd do too much to detract from that.even if they go heavy 3D I believe the game can still be very modable.Look at games like Civ3,a great deal of it's mods have to be done with 3D rendered units and such,yet it has a very large fan base contributing mods all the time.I believe just as with the conVersion from SEIII to SEIV they'll keep true to many of the elements while improving on others.They won't please everybody,but the vast majority will still love it and continue to play with the enthusiasm that has been a staple of the game and these forums.
