Have you ever noticed that Auran rarely updates it's 04 and 06 home pages? The 04 homepage is still advertising that 06 will be ready to buy/ship in Sept. of 2005. You would think with the billions and billions that they make they would at least update their homepages more often.LOL
:hehe: Happy Trainz to one and all

Yes, the TRS2004 page has informations that are about 1 year old and the TRS2006 page takes me an awful long time to load since the regional pages have been discontinued. (TRS2004 page is open after 3 seconds, TRS2006 page loads about 2 minutes) so I don't visit it very often.
All in all this is not the best online presence, but at least the forum is a useful place to exchange informations.

Ah...why would they throw money at loss leaders? TC is the new economic engine for the Trainz series.....

I also wouldn't assume that they're making billions and billions. I don't know how many copies of all games have been sold, but there's a little over 248,000 registered users. Even if you assummed that all copies sold were registered and that Auran was making $20 on each copy (which I would think is a very high profit margin for Auran's part), then they've only made about 5 million...a long way from a billion.

Seriously, how much time/money would it cost to update a web site? It would at least give the impression that things are in control and that you care about your own products.
