Its a relatively old game to own and then you have to have that moment of truth in your head when you are playing it to think "Hey, this would be good as multiplayer, has anyone made a mod for this?"
And lo' he said unto his shepherd, go forth and seek out NMA via google.
and the shepherd saw this was good.
As a whole though, a 14 year old game with a daily online presence of over 100 players?
Don't make me laugh. This game is not dead.
