Hey Jan and everyone,
Am playing Desolation E5 while I pass the time for V13 and E19 ... would like to tell you all about how excited I am for the update!
Finished Reborn E18 almost exactly 2 years ago about at the end of 2018, 3 months after discovering the whole community, and started Rejuv shortly after at the beginning of 2019, and there I made a big mistake. While I now know that V11 was already out at that point, I downloaded V9 by mistake (I think you should put an obvious disclaimer on the old downloads to let people know that there is a newer release available.) I played through the whole game and only noticed I was playing V9 right at the end when I got the message that I was at the end of V9 content. I was about to update to V11 and continue that playthrough, but I got a new computer around that time and just kinda forgot about it. A year passes, then in early 2020 I find out that V12 released, and downloaded the correct version this time to start a new playthrough. I got as far as Teila resort before I started procrastinating continuing my playthrough throughout the pandemic summer and fall, with the election looming and all that (somehow I can even procrastinate doing things that I enjoy.) I kept thinking I would get back to continuing my playthrough, but never quite made the leap to resume after the months-long absence. Once I saw the news in the fall about V13 development, and saw how there would not just be much new content, but also a major revamp of the older content, and that it was being recommended to start V13 from the beginning once it comes out to experience the remastered older content and gen 8, I decided to put off Rejuvenation until V13 released and then start a new game. Thanks to my mistake back in 2019, I will be getting an extra special experience with V13, seeing the revamped older content and then experiencing the story of V10, V11, V12, and V13 all for the first time fresh, brand new, and mostly unspoiled.
I give my best regards to Jan and friends for making this great game, and everyone in the community for supporting each other through the events of the past year. Happy New Year everyone, hopefully 2021 will be lit by the end of these terrible times and lit up by us all. Here's to a better future!
Best Wishes,
Shadow Angel
