So, I've been away from here for about 6-8 months, what have happend? What should I play? TTDPatch or OTTD?

What are the big differences now? Could someone please update me?

It all depends

TTDPatch is currently more stable
but
OpenTTD has more features and is easier to edit.

Plus OpenTTD has working Multiplayer support (not just 2 players, but up to 8 companies, which can be cooperatively operated by multiple users)

Ohh I see, so most of the features that was/is in the patch are now a part of OTTD aswell?
But I suppose all aren't so my next question is, if I start playing OTTD what features will I miss from the patch?

Well.. I have been away for a bit longer than you (app 1.5 years).. And I do not miss any option from the patch in OTTD...

I think most features from TTDPatch 8 months ago are implemented in OpenTTD now. Some of the more advanced GRF stuff since then isn't implemented yet, and recent innovations like path-based signalling aren't there yet, but if you haven't played with them yet, you won't miss them. Give them both a try, see how you like it.

I'm still playing the patch until openttd gets in some sort of final stage so I can enjoy a game without worrying about bugs
I'll definetly change, but when ?

Observer first you are unfair sicne TTDPatch is open source to

and for me OTTD has got no soul ... well I played it, and I was rather fell like I am playing other game, simmilar to TTD(+TTDPatch) but rather something diffirent ... it's hard to explain ... but it's just fake, messy, imitation for me, nothing more

It does have a soul, it's just an anti-soul! (#tycoon joke)

I'll agree with that - probably when the patch slows down and OTTD overtakes it - but that won't be for a while though
