It's interesting that they are going to support modding, but not allow mods that are just "tweaks" to the gameplay. (Less community fragmentation that way I guess.) Wonder how they are going to enforce that.

How big did the first game get community wise? I never even heard of it until Savage 2 talk began. Sounds cool, innovative.

...we also have allowed server admins to set their servers experience level. Each account (all players play through a single account) has persistent experience, meaning all the experience they have earned in all their matches played is tallied to their overall account experience. While this doesnÃ¢Â€Â™t give any player an advantage over another, it allows other players and servers to see their experience level. We can then have groups of servers for lower level, medium level, higher level, and expert level players. This will allow everyone to compete against players with similar game experience and skill.

Praise, God! Something I've been wanting to see in online FPS games for about the last ten years and it takes a gutsy independent developer to implement it. I can't wait until this becomes the standard! Thank you S2, thank you!!!!!!
