Long ago I began to imagine that they didn't have any content at all and were just riding the high of all that hype for their colossal ideas.

If they were really such amazing mapmakers and the project was really that incredible, they would have been backing it up constantly. Especially the way WoodenFire talked, it was inevitable something like this would happen.

I bet they never HAD triggers. They just wanted a way to get our hopes SO high so that they could crush them SO low. The corrupted string was a great excuse to "stop working on it" (i.e., never have their secret revealed). Corrupted string? Bullshit. If the idea was that great, they'd still be doing it. If they really invested that much time in that project, a mere 500 triggers shouldn't stop them. They don't deserve the hype if they quit now. Of course, they probably never deserved the hype (maybe no one does).

So maybe I'm just bitter. CrescentDyne crushed my faith in people who hype up their projects. I still get excited at new ideas but remain disillusioned with all claims of greatness until the project is actually released. I swear, I checked CrescentDyne's forum a few times a week. JUST to see if a map was making progress! I scrabbled at their forum hoping for a few morsels of screenshots and game logic! I was that excited! How stupid of me! So many hours of my life, wasted! Arrggghh

payne, I admire your tenacity. I still think CrescentDyne's a sick idea, but they hype it up so much that there's no way it will ever become real, and I guess deep down in my heart, I never really thought it would be...

EDIT:

EXACTLY. AUUUGGGHGHHHH.
