CloseGlacia has seen many iterations since I uploaded the first download on 04/14/2009. I have garnered 119080 page views, 82 subscribers, and 5953 total downloads, which is awesome. The downside to having such a long version history of the project is that reviews and feedback I received six years ago will have little bearing when REDUX is released in about a month of so. Also with the current gamepage I would be ineligible for Misaos.
So the question is should I make a new game page for new reviews/Misaos or keep the current game page and build on the stats?

Ask on the current game page?
You wouldn't be ineligible because an update was added this year. As long as it's substantial it still counts as eligible.
You can easily ask people who wrote reviews to change them to an N/A star to clear the slate but keep the old reviews still there for people to check out and see the history of the game.
It's up to you, though. If you feel that the game has changed significantly from what it used to be, a new game page is a good idea, but if your only reason is to get rid of the reviews and comments attached to the old game page, that could be seen as trying to fob the system.

I didn't know that about the misaos, thats great news. I definitely don't want to "fob" the system in anyway. I only want the projects current state to be accurately represented. Some of the reviews are 5+ years old, and I don't belive it would even to possible to contact the reviewers to get them to change their review to a N/A rating, which would be my idea situation.
As Regal said, the reviews are from 2009, and they are NOT for a full version of the game, they were written to give feedback on what was essentially a one man tech demo. The only reviews that mostly reflect the current state/direction of the game are the ones written since I joined and completely rewrote all of the text (and many many other things) in the game in 2012.
Unfortunately, all of our previous attempts to contact the authors of the old reviews has returned no responses. We have been unable to get in contact with any of them. Obviously, we'll be continuing to try and contact them as we continue development on the game, but as it stands their reviews are practically for an entirely different game. As I said, they were reviewing a tech demo. If there's any way that we could get their ratings changed to N/A it would be amazing. Thanks for your help, guys!

Then perhaps the part where I said " If you feel that the game has changed significantly from what it used to be, a new game page is a good idea" may best summarise your situation.
We have had people in the past try to get away from the bad reviews of their games when nothing/not enough has been changed by making new game pages, which is why I pointed that out. Usually doesn't work out since people remember the older page and repost on it the same warnings.
But yeah, if the game is very different from what it used to be, absolutely make a new page. Just remember that submission rules have changed since 2012, so be sure to abide by them when you do~ ^.^

Thanks liberty, we don't really want to get away from those reviews and comments we really appreciate the history of the project and the large part the RMN community has played in it. Most likely we will continue with the current gamepage your reply was helpful. Above all else we just wanted to hear from RMN on this issue, thanks again.
