Cheers Hitman! "modding till your eyes bleed" I can't say that I miss that part of things at all!
Some free advice from me to anyone who cares to listen: It is great, and in many ways rewarding, to give of yourself to a community. However, never let your hobby become "work" or you may end up intensely disliking your hobby.
I really hope this thread can get back to being calm and cool. Ending our project was in some ways, much harder than carrying it out. Just speaking for myself, I'll always have regrets that I couldn't do more... and carry things further.
At one time I had hopes of somehow consolidating many theaters and nationalities in the simulation... to enable a player to choose a nationality and sail a submarine in any major navy in WWII. Too many obstacles and too much resistance prevented it though. (...and it was certainly too much to expect from a team that worked without pay.)
Individually, some of the old GWX teamers still mod independantly and occasionally release some things to the community.
The GWX Project is truly
over though. Some of us do still fly the colors and carry GWX signatures... because we are proud of what we did accomplish and where we've been.
All good things do come to an end, but we have all been given much... and we all have much to be thankful for.
Having been in the constant company of so many great people, on the GWX team and here at Subsim... will be with me forever!
Kind regards and Merry Christmas to you all,
