Yes, it has. Some of us on the group have been at it that long as well.
Semms like ages ago it all started.

My god that is a lot. I think I may push 100 000, but I thought I was mad
with collecting.

Well, this is nothing new for GW, and not unexpected by me at least. This
from a company that revises the rules for 40K, and then plans for another
revision (and rules changes) for a couple of years later. The constant
revision is simply a way in their words, of keeping a game active and alive.
Oh, and you need to pay more each time, oh that has nothing to do with it at
all. Active shouldn't mean dumping old rules in my mind.

I dread meeting all the kiddie 40K converts that will number crunch the new
system to hell and think they are great players for it. And it will happen.

Jervis is listening. He actually asked us to talk about about, and has said
that he will listen to our remarks. As for us already giving them so much
money, well I think that accounts for about zip for them. They are only
interested in what more they can get out ofus.
>Peter, a very pist off veteran epic player.
Unfortunately I feel that we are the ones who will hurt the most with th new
big push for epic 40K to become popular. I fear it will become epic (small
emphasis) 40K (huge emphasis) to make sure that GW makes even more money,
and stuff the vets.
