<t> Well, it's been two years since I last checked in here to see when this dreadnought would be completed. I was roundly chastised for my lack of faith and my doubts etc. It's now two years later, and ... we're still waiting. But hey, who am I to complain? I certainly don't want to spark off ...

I am impressed with the huge amount of work done. So that just leaves the question of....when? Is this year realistic? Here's hoping. Keep up the good work.

It is laughable reading most of these latest "comments", but I think people should take a second and take a breath of air. Then go back and read what they wrote before they post it.<br/>
<br/>
Facts as I know ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>...But then again I am not whining that I don't have the game yesterday. I also am not whining that my pet ideas of how some things should be done have been put on the 'probably not list'. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Relevance? None. What pet ideas?<br/>

<r> Dear Mr Davidt, [&o]<br/>
<br/>
I have better things to do than scroll through endless posts of hearty back-slapping chaps like yourself in order to get an answer to the simple question of <I><s>[i]</s>when will this thing be ready<e>[/i]</e></I>? I have waited for what seems to be an eternity ...

About once a year I check in to see what progress has been made, and about once a year I wonder why the hell I bothered. Is there any progress? Will this thing ever get made? Will I bother coming back next year? Or next f*cking DECADE?

You should have the option to turn elements of the game on or off, not have things that must be rigidly adhered to because some people don't like them. This is a game for everyone, not a select few.

Thanks for that. [:)]

I have been absent for some time now. When I was last here, Computer World in Flames was referred to as CWIF. Now everyone is talking about MWIF. What's the difference? What have I missed?

Okay, from a business POV I can understand no updates, but from a consumer/fan POV I still say [>:]

By the way, how close (or far) are we from actually seeing this developpment start ?

I don't think we'll see CWiF anytime soon. I think they're waiting for us to get bored and go away.

<r> Meanwhile...we continue to <B><s>[b]</s>WAIT<e>[/b]</e></B>!<br/>
<br/>
When CWiF was with ADG, at least we got semi-regular updates where we could see (and play) the current version. So far with Matrix, all we have is nothing. Lots and lots of nothing.<br/>

Now its 2005.<br/>

In the basement of my childhood house in Detroit, the pipes leading from the furnace were wrapped in plastered asbestos! (There was one section where it was cut out to expose the pipe, so I could see the corrugations and it was exactly like the ...

...and then I'll have children, watch them grow, and teach them to be patient so they can wait for CWiF to come out once I'm gone.

My bet is this game will be ready by 2010

That soon? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz[>:]

...then I'll count every insect on Earth by hand...[>:]

<t> While I am waiting for CWiF to come out, I thought I would build a three storey house out of matchsticks.<br/>
<br/>
Then I might mow every lawn in Australia with a pair of scissors.<br/>
<br/>
Then I might learn a new language and write a novel in it.<br/>

Etc etc etc.<br/>

Hi Guys<br/>
<br/>
This was not intended to be serious... it was something I found funny and not in any way to be taken seriously. See I knew I should not have some out of the office. [8|]<br/>
