My question is to those who have it in their city... Did ID5 breathe new life in the once stale community? Or are the physics turning people off? Is it competitive? Is battling still "the IT thing"?

That's pretty high compared to the V4 days, where you could go round after round with nobody sitting next to you period. Pity they didnt link the machines for matches yet. woudla been so much higher then.

well... a fair portion left witohut going to Wangan.

Even those who went to Wangan... i don't see them being addicted to Wangan as much as the old ID Ver series.

some of them are back though... it remains to see if we can really get the momentum going again. but at least i see more fresh faces trying out the game and playing it.

well.. MT functions are standalone on the cab. dont need any external networks and such.

external networks can do cool stuff like ID.NET and such. but the implementation especially away from home base (read International) is a very very big headache

Rei.G sounds like a happy man.
