Maxwell Announcement

[Neil Hayes]

My humble opinion is that the decent thing for Next Limit to do is make sure that those who have pre-paid for Maxwell will receive this RS2 wonder engine for no additional charge. If I hear that RS2 will require a paid upgrade, I'm liable to have a stroke.

I'm sure this will be the case. we must remember that we've all had a try of a very early RS2 in the early RC's... just a shame the physicalsky/sun was not working. After reading subsequest posts on the NL forum a while back it emerged that we would get RS1+ by version 1 and that RS2 would likely be in a 1.x upgrade (which we have been told in the past would be free). A while back Mike Verta stated that the RS2 is currently only faster for complex scences versus RS1 so NL would likely give us the choice at rendertime as to which engine to select. Overall the impression has always been that NL would give us RS2 now if it was upto scratch... supported by the fact that they attempted to get it to us with the early RC's. As ever, fingers crossed.

i personally have a bitter taste in my mouth now when all i see is totally positive posts cause of the censorship. esp when every thing that has been said and done in the past.

Agreed. I'm seriously thinking about unbanning myself. While it was a nice protest (you started), in the end it's just giving NL exactly what they want--a forum consisting entirely of fanboys.

And what will that get them? You and I could not make a difference posting reasonable dissent. It's a fairyland over there. At least you can still un-cloak and post a zinger now and again. If you post as a regular again Tom-sorry-ass-mofo will just ban you from the playground.

Be like DeNiro in Brazil.

Agreed. Obviously it's not going to change NL's behavior, but at least it might put would-be Maxwell owners on notice that NL may not be The Great and Powerful Oz.

I'm sure I'll get banned eventually, but that's life.

nooooooooooo dont blame me for walking away ;/
im still there, just not posting (at the moment) i will return once we are back on track and there is less censorship, deleting, banning. i loved the flow of the forum until things went belly up.
