Official Statement Of Current State Of The Art By MK1
I do have some new articles almost ready and the new patch just keeps getting bigger over time. There was just so little interest from the community that I decided not to kill myself with the site trying to bring in new content to people who could care less one way or another. People want to mod GOF 2.0 in the later era and I just need to accept that its more popular.
I will probably put a new patched version of ERAs2 up in the next several months. Some more new ships, weapons, characters, items, islands, cemetaries, music, etc…
If there were more interest I would do so much more, but I look at it as my own private mod now basically.
The thing that confuses me is that the mod has been downloaded almost 30 thousand times now and over 1800 members joined the site. I guess they just want to watch and lurk and not participate. I need positive feedback – thats just the way I am wired.
After what PA did to me I just have not had the enthusiasm I used to have with this stuff. I don’t care about sharing so much anymore. I play and improve the game for myself and that’s enough for me now. I don’t need to tell people about all the great stuff I am improving.
I look at Pirates Ahoy and see the stuff Boelen says about COAS – no direct sail, no THIS and no THAT…”only POTC Build mod has that”, .and I know that its not true because it all works and IS there in GOF ERAS. It IS there in MY mod.
It is what it is. If people keep watching – new stuff will eventually come out from me, HOWEVER, in long term intervals as I decide its ready. If folks actually cared about it, then I would care. That’s just the way it is. MK

So what can we extract from this?
He feels that too many people are lurking, and not actively contributing to the forums as of now.
Furthermore there IS a patch coming, but when he feels like releasing it, will be up to him alone. Think of it like the new book of GRR Martin of Game of Thrones, its a masterpiece, and it takes time, but it also takes some positive feedback by the community. And sadly this has been a bit slacking.
So here I am and I would welcome people in Joining discussions, creating new threads and topics and joining in full motion, so as MK1 will feel inclined to release the new big patch sooner to our community, or release it at all, as he could just keep it for himself if he deems that to few people would want to have it.
Vala Morghulis my friends and keep your eye out for more discussions and news to come.
