The Biggest Thing Since alt.games.wc3

Newsgroups are one of the greatest things the online Wing Commander community has to offer. And for approximately four years, WingNuts have had two choices: alt.games.wing-commander and alt.games.wc3, and agwc3 isn't much of a choice. However, there are now two more great reasons to be on usenet. Just days ago alt.games.ea.origin.wing-commander and alt.games.ea.origin.privateer came into being. It might take a little while for your news server to carry them however (as is the case for all new newsgroups). Many thanks to SX Glory.

Gold Digging in UK

Today I located a copy of WCP Gold in Southampton, UK, and much to my surprise it contained a copy of the awesome universe map! Why this was left out of the US version is unknown, but the only other difference between Euro and US versions appears to be adverts for WWII Fighters on the back of the CD case and manual in the Euro version.
