Hi there...
I actually found this community yesterday looking for rm2k stuff on google.
Actually, I have all the info you need to know about rm2k.
As you know don miguel(or however you spell) translated it into english, there where no charges pressed aginst him because complied with rule about not updating his rm2k site anymore, as far as i know he is to have nothing to do with the rm2k or rm2k3 without seirius consiquences.
And about Rm2k3 actually it was being distrubuted in japaneze buy dark damion and some other sites, hoping for someone to traslate it for them, untill one day someone translated it, but it had errors, the battle system was messed up. and i am sorry to say it but I WAS THE ONE TO MAKE THE TEMPORARY BATTLE FIX FOR IT.... anyway someone fixed the error with a patch download, afterward it got popular at alot of sites, and is actually used by ALOT of people, I could give you 3 sites right off the top of my head for it.
Back to the release of Rm2k3, enterbrain decided if everyone would just simply take away the downloads for the rm2k(they could keep using it and keep their sites up though) off thier sites, enterbrain would release an offical english verison, BUUUUUUT, some sites did not comply so as far as I know, once they comply the offical english version will be released.
now if anyone would like any info on rm2k(i dont do rm2k3 anymore) just ask me, I do graphix, storylines, cms's and cbs's, tutorials, and anything you can do in event wise.
(I used to have my own rm2k site but I took it down due to my work on my new flash cartoon site.)
