Hi guys!
I've been playing catchup on a few years of missing things about AIW2 (and AIWC) in my spare time while I wait for a good Beta release of the game. I didn't want to attempt to cojole an Alpha copy cause I basically hate Alpha testing, I do that for my own code enough as it is.
However, I wanted to mention that other than a few speed bumps that seemed to have occurred, I'm thoroughly impressed that the old community and great personalities are still here and still simply being awesome. One thing I missed when I finally burnt out on AIWC and my personal life decided to steamroll me was the fun community we had here who could debate and tune things with passion and intelligence at the same time. Sure, others have moved on and we have some new faces, but all in all, it feels a lot like coming back to your favorite book club.
So, I doff my hat to everyone here. I was excited at the prospect of AIW2 in general already, but catching up on the forums is making me look forward to getting involved again.
Cheers!
