- Two months ago no one would beleive this would happen. A month ago some
- people saw this coming, but till the very last day no one thought this
- would happen this way.
-
- About 50% of the active RZR members and all the TRSi U.K. members have
- left their groups and went into Legend/PC. Now, some of you might
- remember Legend releasing a few PC games before - one or two in the
- Time Runners series, etc. We have tried to find the old LGD info file,
- but that group was so insignificant at the time, no one even has it and
- we could not compare the memberlists. But the fact is - 90% of the members
- in the new Legend are the guys from RZR and TRSi.
-
- Both of those groups have not exactly been doing as great lately. Both
- still were bringing out quality releases, but each had a few problems.
- For the last several months, RZR has not been very active. All the games
- came from very few active members, and the only factor that has kept RZR
- on the top was their connection in SSI. This May was especially unfortunate
- for RAZOR. They started well with the release of Al Quadim, but than
- they have released a non-English playable quest - Robinson's Requiem in
- French, and right after thet - two EGA games. TRSi has been doing great
- during Spring, but than they lost all their US suppliers due to internal
- conflicts and now they have lost all their U.K. suppliers that alone were
- keeping TRSi name alive for the last couple of months. Now both TRSi and
- RZR have been damaged quite a lot by the happenings and no one knows whether
- they will ever be able to survive it. According to our opinion, RAZOR will
- climb out of the hall even though it will take them some time to re-organize,
- but TRSi is back to the position they were in just some 8 months ago, only
- able to get small german games and thats where they will probably stay.
-
- Here is the message posted by Marauder on the night LEGEND released their
- first game:

-
- There will be an announcement from me tonight concerning MAJOR changes in
- the group.
-
- You may have heard/seen some rumours, but please, don't start a rumour
- FACTORY...I'll post complete details this evening after I discuss some
- details with the other members.
-
- This is for sure:
-
- 1. RAZOR 1911 is *NOT* Dead!
- 2. RAZOR 1911 will *NOT* Die!
- 3. RAZOR 1911 will be smaller and better than ever effective immediately!
-
- All ongoing group functions will continue as normal, including supply,
- spread, contests, etc.
-
- There will be an announcement of a new Courier HQ and a new European HQ in
- a few hours.
-
- Thank you for your patience!

-
- The announcement has still not been made. RZR has not released anything for
- us to check for new boards in their info file either. So looks like we will
- just have to wait and see. As for TRSi, who lost their WHQ to LEGEND, their
- new WHQ is a nine node board Park Central ran by Silver V.
