A thread of thanks for Vice!

Post by Austin »

Though I'm sure all of us have said it at one time or another or multiple times :P I thought it would be awesome to start a thread specifically for the purpuse :)

He's brought us Evochron Mercenary and Legends as well as quite a few other title's I've never had the pleasure to play myself. On top of that he is devoting his time to expanding this wonderful game and take it to a whole new level, enduring injury to bring his universe to life, for our enjoyment.

Many thanks and salutes to you Vice, good Sir! Thanks for the awesome games and hard work you've put into them! I hope your hand begins to feel better and by all means don't rush on our account! I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer!

Cheers!

As well as loving the games, I'm especially impressed with the way Vice responds to questions and suggestions - unbelievably quickly showing that he monitors the forums like a guardian angel.

The overall result is that the game is phenomenal, the community is supportive and a real pleasure to interact with - on the forums and on MP

This is the only game (in 40 years of computing) that I have stuck with - and I have absolutely no intention of stopping

I've said it before but when I first played Elite on a BBC Micro in the early 80's, I dreamed of what it could be with lifelike graphics and more "space" (sorry for the pun!) EM is my dream come true - and with the changes and enhancements it just keeps getting better - all due to one man!

Thank you Vice :)

I've said it before but it's worth saying again!

Brilliant game and best support ever. Community is the best as well!

Sorry to hear about your pain in your arm.
If it makes you feel better, I have pain in both my arms due to way to much playing:P
Thanks!!!! LOL!;)

I'm not sure exactly what to say about raising my glass to anyone, so I'll stick with my original statement: Thank you for such a great game Vice and get feeling better soon. :)

My glass goes up to Vice also. What amazes me most about Vice is that he incorporated all the things that a true Space sim fan would want, like planetary landing, most of the big guys out there didn't even want to touch it.

Vice is a true example of what can be done when everyone else out there is telling you NO.

Thanks Vice, for staying TRUE. :)

My thanks to Vice as well. It was said before but it bears repeating. He is unbelievably quick to answer questions and respond to problems. This is what customer service is supposed to be.

Keep up the good work, sir.:D

Thank you very much for such amazing work, Vice! I have bought other games since getting into Evochron Mercenary, but haven't bothered playing them because I feel truly spoiled by the amount of freedom and immersion.

You've made a fan outta me for life!
