I just want to add my voice to the others in saying that you should either leaves quests in (and all the other multiplayer features), or ditch multiplayer entirely. Far too many times I've seen developers get so paranoid about having "balanced" multiplayer, that it ends up being a stale, shallow shadow it's single-player counterpart. Furthermore, I don't see any other reason that quests wouldn't be workable in multiplayer - the Europa Universalis games have similar features (in the form of ev

I don't take anything posted on a forum seriously - so "professionalism" doesn't factor into it for me, at all. That said, I think the game is fantastic - but I can see how it might be perceived as "feeling" like a beta. It's the artwork. The UI designs are good, clean, well organized, and work well - but visually the UI is universally flat , uninteresting, and way too colorful - seeming more like comp designs than finished UI. Give them some texture, make the pal

Ok, here's what's going on (for others who run into this) - the S&H is "preliminary" until you log in for the checkout. Once you log in and get to the final checkout screen, it knows whether or not to charge the S&H. In my case, when I got to the final Confirmation page, it dropped the additional S&H and only charged me the bare $20. I assume it works this way to allow customers who pre-ordered digital-only versions to easily upgrade to the LE (which is a physical product

I pre-ordered Elemental... oh man, forever ago - the digital + boxed version. Now I want to upgrade to the Limited Edition, which is apparently +$20. I'm cool with that, but when I get to checkout, it wants to add $10 for s&h... which was already part of my original order (making total S&H after upgrade $20). Am I understanding this right?

[quote who="joasoze" reply="59" id="2386567"]Looking at the Beta and the current state of the game, it should be pretty clear that feb 2010 would be premature. Let this cook until ready [/quote] I'm with Joasoze on this. :D

Bummer, I can't run it on my netbook due to insufficient vertical resolution (which has a maximum resolution of 1024x600).

Customer service just extended an olive branch for re-preordering, so I did. As for the beta/charge - I knew about the policy, but I guess I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice that the beta had started. Still, it would have been nice if CS had given me some options the first time around instead of the generic "too bad" reply that I wound up with. Heck, I'd have even understood if I had been told "unfortunately, our system doesn't have the ability to modify orders." In a

I preordered Elemental months ago, the moment it became available for preorder. I love StarDock. Even when I'm not totally gaga over their games (Sins of a Solar Empire), they're still the underdog making original, interesting, games that run great no matter if I'm playing on my dedicated gaming computer or my feeble Asus netbook. I love their stance on DRM and copy protection... I love being able to re-download my games without having to dig up old CDs and patch up the wazoo (although I like
