Having said that, I agree that SH5 will certainly prosper if there is community involvement and sharing. You know, the sum of the parts and so on. SH3 started this way, but degenerated into a bloody mess quite quickly.

SH5 will not prosper as well as it could if little groups go away and congregate silently in the corner refusing to share findings or techniques. It then becomes more "about the mod" and less "about the game".

There will be fights, of course - it's basic human instinct within communities of any size (online or not), for at some point alpha males will bubble to the surface and just two alpha males <> harmony. But it's up to the egos of those involved to determine whether SH5 will be the best it can be, or whether it will be the best they can make it. Unfortunately the two don't quite line up and inevitably the community as a whole suffers through the egos of a few. However, I do feel that some competition is healthy and facilitates improvements that are not possible with complacency...if only the community sees it for that and not as personal attacks (I remember a "new kid on the block" in SH3 that caused much angst for the "old guard". ).

Certainly I have no interest in repeating the cr@p that occurred in SH3 (where I was a willing participant I hasten to add), so for me it will be interesting how it all pans out...

I suggest that you look that the way your post started - then look at the way it ended.
You start by bashing/ smirking at Jim over the GWX days, then say you have no intreast in repeating the crap that occured in Sh3 back in the day.

That in itself seems a tad hypocritical if you ask me.....

Like you AND Jim I agree a more peaceful / co-operative SHV community would be great....
Now if only we can let go of the past.. it might actually be possible.
