I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone here that has made this amazing phenominon known as Dwarf Fortress what it is today. None of you know me, this is my first post, and I'm generally the epitome of a lurker. I recently started playing Dwarf Fortress but a week ago. I never could have imagined how lucky I was to stumble upon this amazing... feat of... awesome! I have never, ever, had so much with a free, open source game. Its been years since I had this much fun with a paid commercial game, and the only similar "WOW" experience that has come to my mind is the first time I played Civilizations, many years ago. So thanks to the developer for his incredible vision to giving me one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences i've had in years.
And thank you, to every single one of you in the modding/tutorial community. You've taken an incredibly complex game and allowed someone like myself to slowly eek my way into it, and I know I'll be hooked on this for years (I've been playing every spare second of rare free time that I get... and get shakes at work for more digging, carpentry, and crafting!) LOL. But I really thank all of you for the incredible effort you've put into this amazing experience.
And I hope I do not come off as pretentious by saying this. But I wanted to say I happily donated $40 to DF today. It's the best $40 I've spent in the past year easily, and when it comes to gaming experience the most deserved $40 in a long time. I look so forward to seeing where DF goes from here!
