Mechstorms Mack today announces work has started on a new Mercs patch. Half a decade after some groups decided to maintain a monoply on what you play and limit what everybody can do, the one team thats shown any imagination at all finally developes the tools to blow the lid off the Monoply we have suffered with for so long.

Unlike other teams, our imagination is not limited to "Oh lets add another mech". The team lead by Mack is set to add a bunch of new content to the game that map makers and players can enjoy. The recent developements means that mechwarrior need not look so dated any more and players need not feel they have seen it all before.

These newly developed tools will allow mechstorm team members and map makers to keep the game fresh and alive in ways only we can do for years to come.

If your a texture, mesh maker, scripting, map maker or just plain interested. Sign up to be part of the fun now by Clicking here and expressing an interest.

Mack will respond to all interested parties.

With in hours of me asking for donations to keep Mechstorm open, a mech fan donated what I believe to be the exact amount needed to fund Mechstorm for 12 months.

I say Mech Fan because it came from the Mechstorm Donation Link added tonight and not from the Giskard Lair Link that is used mostly by Elder Scrolls fans that have been paying for the website so far.

Any further donations will be spent on website improvements but the desparate need for funds is no longer so desparate and everybody can relax.

Also I have decided to come out of retirement and continue to administrate this website in light of recent donations. I think such a gesture deserves nothing less than a commitment from me to continue.

The donator has my thanks and appreciation and I hope one day his gift will be paid back with mechstorm releasing future Mech related material for him to enjoy.

Hopefully for Mechwarrior 5 :)

Users should not confuse no news for no action on Mechstorm. Check out our forums, that is where everything happens.

Since Christmas 2007 Mechstorm's doors have been kept open by donations from the Elder Scrolls community that come here to get my Oblivion Mods. Until now I have acted as backup for these in case the donations fail to meet the running costs of the website (even though I have officially retired).

However come September my money takes a cut and that will no longer be possible unless something changes to improve the situation.

I have already given up a lot, including Satelite TV and many other luxuries during these hard times to keep this website for you mech fans. I have nothing more I can give up.

So after September, if Donations fail to cover the running costs of this website, it will close.

You will see a link on the right of the main news page with a donation link. We need lots of small regular donations to help keep this website open.

Thanks.

Giskard
