Dropping in to Say Hello...

[Xoriss]

Hey guys,

Some of you, actually probably most of you won't remember me, but maybe some of you will. I'm Xoriss, otherwise known as John or Jay. For those that don't, I made a lot of the earlier sigs and graphics, as well as a majority of the unit icons used up until... I wanna say two version ago?

It's been a while since I've talked to anyone here, but I still lurk the forums from time to time, just out of pure curiosity, and man do I gotta say that I'm real proud of the way this mod turned out and where you guys have taken it. I remember linking up with Zer Teron and Corey way back when they were just laying the groundwork for this. No offense intended by this, but never in a million years did I think this mod would make it this far. Look at it now, one of the top EaW mods out there, if not THE top mod! It's so polished and diverse, a real gem. I actually reinstalled EaW just to play this again, and man was I impressed. There are so many new models and planets I can't even count em!

I'm real happy that this took off like it did, I think it's awesome and I had to break my silence to mention it. How have you guys been? What have you guys been up to lately?
I've heard you guys are calling it quits after this version, is that true?

Anyways, I just wanted to swing by and say what's up. I still have EaW and this mod installed, so lemme know if you guys wanna get a multiplayer round goin. It'd be great to play with you guys again.

- Jay

Hey Xoriss, good to see you. I've been fine, doing a lot of university stuff lately (I'm in third year of that now, I actually think the last time I talked to you would have been around when I was less than halfway through high school. The mod is so damn old).

We do intend to cease production on ICW after 2.1, save for patches or small additions. We've basically covered what we want to cover. We will be working on Ascendancy for Sins, however. I'm not ready to quit modding just yet, and I've managed to drag the majority of the team with me. I think Slornie's still a little confused how I got him involved in Ascendancy, but there it is.

Heh, I'm in my third year as well... final year for me on top of that. I don't know how old I told you guys I was back in the day, I was young and silly then. I had to be, what? Maybe 15-16 then? I'm a hair under 21 now, crazy how time flies ain't it?

It kinda sucks you guys are hangin' up the old mod, but I don't blame you guys for movin' on. EAW is ooollllld, lol. It's awesome that you guys saw it through to the end and wound up with a complete, polished mod though, not a lot of mod groups can say that.

Ascendancy huh? Sins of a Solar Empire? Interesting. I may have to pick that up and check it out.
