I'm glad to see that Aaron is still patching, but what else is he working on? Is there an SEVI in the works?

Aaron's near anonymity is bizarre to me. Clearly he can't be making a living solely on SE V these days... Does he have a primary and this is his hobby? Independently wealthy? Does he play SEV under a pseudonym?

Anyone have any clue on how 'active' SEV is this late in it's lifespan? I'm impressed that the core modders are still at work. But how many players are there these days?

Just curious for you thoughts.

Thanks,

I've never played a multi player game and would love to start but dont know where to. So any help or advice would be greatly apprieciated. My questions are.....

1) What mod is used the most or is the most popular mod in multiplayer?( i usually use the Unnamed Mod in single player). I have been looking at the BM mod and need to learn it if its the most popular.

2) Is there any games for newbie multiplayer or veterans who dont mind newbie multiplayers? I dont want to get my a$$ handed to me in 10 turns, cant learn anything and its no fun, and whats the point of playing if inexperience is only good for those who want an easy kill.

Is the book section of the site going to be made available?
I got loads of questions which I am sure have been asked millions of times,
and instead of subduing all of the regulars to constant repeat, this would be a great place for ALL the newbie Q's.
Depending on the response, i'll add all my Q's.

My Computer:
Intel (R)
Pentium (R) 4 CPU 2.4GHz
2.39GHz, 512MB of RAM
ATI Radeon 9200 Series
22.2GB/37.2GB of Hard Drive used

Alright. My story goes like this. The game I am trying to play is Space Empires V. I downloaded it and installed it using Steam (it's patched to 1.71). I started it up with no problems. I clicked tutorial and it takes forever to load. After it's done loading it informs me that my virtual memory has been used up. I doubled the size of virtual memory and it still didn't help. The game is unplayable at this point. I can't do anything and it takes about 30 minutes to shut the program down(even then my computer is pretty much froze). I've had WoW, Counter Strike Source, Warcraft 3, and Medieval II run on this computer with little problem. Medieval II, I couldn't actually get into fighting battles but I could do everything fine on the big map.
