--------> Similar thing when Battletech added the "clans" and brought in
a whole seperate tech base superior to what was in the game already.
Before, it was trying to optimize a design where evryone was playing by
the same set of rules, but adding more advanced tech ruined that for
many people. We had a sizeable group meeting on a weekly basis, with an
RPG campaign, one-offs, the whole bit - then as you say, a big split
with the new stuff, and it's never been the same.
