just wondering can't seem to find the online vers. or the downloadable version anywhere on the NS official site anymore

You can always read it here.

just found it... thanks for the help anyways...forgot to look back a couple of post*shame on me*  

prince, you may want to download the ACTUAL version of NS, rather than the server side one. The manual + some musics included in the exe.

haven't downloaded the game yet...figured it would be a good idea to read the manual before...oh yeah and plz don't patronize me when you can't even figure out what I'm saying...

I wanst patronising, ive had a few peeps ask me this already, because they were playing with the server pack (only difference is music + manual) like me as its been available for longer!!
