I read it, then promptly came here. I'm reservedly happy about the possibilities here. I don't want to get my hopes too high... but...
oh... there they go, flying into the sky. Silly hopes.

Honestly, I read it and caught myself grinning like a total idiot several times while doing so. It's a great article that plays to my nostalgia and reminding me how much of my time I've personally invested in discussing and caring about this game both on and offline. I had friends who offered genuine "Geez... heard about that game you talked about. That sucks." statements.
I've been a semi-lurker for such a long time, with periods of greater activity, but this has always been a place where I can find several like minded individuals. We all enjoyed the original games (though I'm sure some of you would question MoE's validity in that definition - I don't know what's
wrong with
you people, it wasn't THAT bad... just VERY. VERY different) and we all bear emotional ties in one way or another to them.
I'm glad to be a part of this community.
