Ever since "growing up", I've not been able to find the time to really RP any more. However, I have a love for RM (and HERO) as being my all time favorite RPG systems that I will occassionally come back and see what's going on in the ICE district. I have all the RM2 books (*loved* when a new Companion would come out) and I picked up the RMSS and even some of the RMFRP books, though never really played them, I pretty much stuck with RM2.
Been a while since I've been here (I think the last time I came to this site was when HARP was coming out) and low and behold, RMC is out. Sounds pretty cool, my preferred version of RM is now becoming the standard version. But my main problem with all these versions is to know which one is the "standard" version? I ask mainly because all the suppliments will tend to support the standard version. I.e. stats for NPCs in modules will be for RM2 or RMSS or HARP, etc.
So what's the official story? Which version is the "official" Rolemaster? And is ICE dropping support for the other versions?

P.S. sorry if this has been asked before, I searched but was unable to find...
