I was looking through some old papers in my attic office and found some stuff I had printed off about SEIV. It was dated 2001 and was maybe from an email mailing list, or maybe it was a how-to-play guide that consisted of comments from a variety of people. Many names I don't see here.

Ah, I remember seeing Talenn on these boards, many years back. I wonder if Dubious will be back. Every so often Tampa Gamer pops up, so its safe to say he will be back as well.

Nice to see the old guard coming back. If you look through the oldest archives of these boards, some of the names really bring back memories. Hope we see more of those guys.

Hey guys, its nice to still be remembered after all this time!

I honestly dont even remember who TDM referred to. I think it was Tampa Gamer, Daynarr or something close, and Mephisto?

This is almost like the Blues Brother..."I'm getting the band back together"...

I'm looking forward to SE5, but I'm a little skeptical now because of the demo. The crashes and instability are quite worrisome, as are the reports that the AI is still pretty random and lame.

My group of friends actually kept playing my own heavily modded SE4 until quite recently when some of the patches somehow broke TCP/IP play for us. I'm hoping SE5 is more stable in that regard as that was truly the best way for us to play it.

Great to see everyone still here though (or returning here as well)!

Tampa Gamer, Devnull and Mephisto, if I remember right.

Devnull's a mod. Talenn/Joe is right, it's Daynarr. Kinda creepy, me knowing stuff like that when I haven't even spent half as much time on the boards as most people have.....

Devnullicus started the Devnull mod.

Uncle_Joe:

You can still play SE4 TCP/IP if you set up a virtual LAN with Hamachi.

Nope, it was me, Devnullicus (though, I don't think I was the "D" in TDM). I usually go by Devnull, actually, but the name was taken on these boards already, so I used Devnullicus.

Oh, and hi guys! I've been playing the demo and I have to say I'm pretty hooked again. Sadly, I'm already thinking about possible mods.

Sweet trader of porkbellies, Devnullicus is back! My God, it's been what... four years? Jeez. Welcome back dude. [censored], it really *is* like that bit in Bab5.

Have you checked out the devnullmod lately? It's been kept in good shape in your absence.
