Look, MekTek’s staff has had problems with a lot of people on their forums, their attitudes have never been real great, and I think they’ve chased off folks by starting the badgering against certain people asking questions again on a forum with thousands of posts to search through and a search engine that has never worked real great, but the quality of their work with MechWarrior MekPaks is beyond reproach. Ignore getting on their forums and just d/l what they’ve offered, like consumers should with ANY game company, and you’ll have a game they’ve managed to turn, for the most part, back to BattleTech, rather than the debacle Micro$oft put out, without the problems of either company.

1) Is there to be any back story/fluff/BattleTech universe history put up anywhere, or links to those archives already extant, so new players can get a clue what the universe is supposed to be about, or is the game just to be a kill-fest?

2) Is there any sort of league/universe service that will support, and keep interested, a community whose interest is historically proven to be fleeting?

I’m just asking the hard questions, guys.
