I had to bug the CRAP out of Abrexus just to get him to come back. I had to send emails, physically call his cell phone, threaten him with violence, and even mass bother him via Skype. Trust me when I say it was worth the effort and I'm glad I got him to come back.
That being said, I can't wait to see just how great this mod gets and so help me god if Abrexus tries to abandon us again....
