We are very pleased to present our latest work on the MekPaks after several years of no-releases on the project. We had hoped that this release would be the Mechwarrior4 Free Release promised by Smith and Tinker, Inc. last summer. However, it would seem that the Free Release is held up at Microsoft and it is unknown to us and our Studio when the Free Release will be given the final go ahead. Our community is tired of keeping the world waiting for a new Mechwarrior4 update and, as such, we will continue releasing our MekPak expansions under our original agreement with Microsoft Games and Fasa Studios.

Due to the demands placed upon us by industry lawyers to release the Mechwarrior4 Free release we were forced to insure our Studio at a premium rate to meet the Microsoft standard. Our insurance policy is a one year lease and we are unable to tap out of this policy until next fall. In addition to our insurance costs we are also struggling with our server costs. Currently, our server fund has run dry and staff and beta members are paying out of their pockets to help keep MekTek online. At this point we don't know from month to month if we will be able to stay online. If you enjoy our MekPaks and free services to the community, please help out if you can. If everyone that downloads the 3.1 update donated $5.00 we would have enough to cover our server costs for the next year including our MekMatch service which is now running in a clustered environment thanks to our genius Mechwarrior4 developer, Jeho.
