[mohaa] PA binary?

[Luke]

I disagree. I feel Ryan has done so much better in the past than
anyone from EA has demonstrated possible with their corporate BS. I
feel I know the guy well enough to say that this current delay and
his lack of correspondance means that:

1) The code is not workable and EA refuses to instruct Ryan what to
do next. And, until this is resolved he doesnt want to get back to
us.

2) It very likely this Binary will never see the light of day and
that EA is not likely to invest the resources necessary to see the
game to a stable windows and Linux server. They have already told
the MOHteam that they are droping support for the game completely
after patch #2.
