He stated quite plainly that only a certain number of units were manufactured for sale in each area, they are now sold out, and that's all that is up. I suppose analysts saw demand in the U.S. would be lower than other areas, and they manufactured fewer kits. Do you know what happened to CW 3.0 last spring? Man, life is good after replacing that puny 14" monitor with this 17" monitor. Much easier on the eyes... Personally, and this is just my opinion, as long as the program is not discontinued, I am not concerned with the level of productivity of members. People work, people have families, some people bought the yaroze just to play our games and/or games from other countries... I was a bit curious when Darco posted that no new members were being accepted, but the explanation seems clear. I am sorry for all those who would like to do this, but now can't. On the other hand, I also feel like this will be the best for us in the long run, selfishly speaking. We are now a unique group of people. What we do is not a common pursuit, and the limitation seals that. I would never have asked for membership to be limited for personal benefit, but I am not blind to the advantage. I bought my yaroze as quickly as possible, knowing that membership in Japan would be capped at 20,000. I did not think we would encounter this here, but, oh well... I got mine, neener, neener, neener. -Matt, who picked up Diablo and Disruptor this X-mas for $50 combined... heh-heh, I knew CDs as a format would rule the day, what a bargain.
