P9D just came along at a time when there was enough people left to carry the momentum. You just don't have that saving grace now.
From an honest perspective, what made 9D great was the people you got to know (across years, Acclaim, GF and even GC somewhat) and the stories that unfolded around that.It was also the struggle of a quite harsh game. But the people made it "tolerable". As with many things, it was a time and a place, and if you didn't chase mice around clan base, picked up firs and collected pumpkins, you missed that time window.
I'll be forever happy i was there and then, and that i eventually managed to get the server files and with help from Adek and others ( and a bit of tool decompiling

) i was able to kludge up the server i always envisioned (almost...), and (not so) shockingly, it worked fine. Let's call it 9D Gold Release (almost...) as it should have been but never was.
But the people are gone, and that chapter is sort of closed. I might play E2, for **** and giggle, but the days of "serious" 9D are over.
