[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="12" id="2325359"] In fact, no one has said that they are 100% certain they will be selected, which honestly surprised me. Doesn't surprise me. SD hasn't said who it will be bringing in, and even if you take a 'hand-picked team', the question is which previous games will they pull from? Sins gamma test? Demigod? GalCiv 2 ToA? Or, instead of porting whole teams, are they just going to grab a person here, a perosn there.

@Star - Star Trek Online . Given I have less then ten hours a week free time and currently have a sub to LotRO and with two new fav franchises coming out in MMO land I dont know what I'll do... I guess STO would be my first choice if it is done right then SW:TOR followed by LotRO if I had to pick. Sadly enough three to four hours a week is not much time for any serious progression so I may have to make some hard choices unless they all offer lifesubs th

I have been using W7 for over seven months now and I must say it is what I expected with XP to be honest. It is without a doubt M$ OS opus. If it was 64b only life would be good on the PC front. [e digicons]:banhammer:[/e]

I firmly disagree. I think the highly stylized, dare I say classical fantasy art motif is exceptionally fitting for this title. This is especially so given the foundation the entire enterprise is based on.

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="24" id="2325062"] [...]But ultimately, if Elemental has to rely on inspiration from user-created mods created after release in order to be a truly stand-out game, then it is doomed to failure.

I sooooooo wish for a CK2. I truely love that game. [e digicons]5*[/e]

He is supposed to represent the deadly sins (Seven - Win7 -etc...) with a the conviction of the Prince in his eyes not you brother. I'm sorry if you perceived it as an intended caricature of you. That is not how it was to be received. It was supposed to be a grotesquely evil looking icon nothing mor

[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="3" id="2324574"]No offense, Spartan, but that guy must weight about 4 times what I do [/quote] But dude, just look at the seriousness and conviction in his eyes - The power of the Prince it's in his eyes. [e digicons]8(|[/e]

[quote who="Bingjack" reply="15" id="2324322"] Quoting Spartan, reply 14It looks like next year will be the best year ever (for me at least) with releases. I only wish I had more free time to play games (thinks to self - I really should get in the game business). Let see... DA:O STO SW:TOR E:WoM That is two MMO and two strat titles. On a side note, I so wish Frogboy would want to open a Tokyo office for SD. &nbs

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="22" id="2324111"] Quoting Denryu, reply 21I thought Spartan verified with SD soe time ago there would be no NDA....wonder what caused them to change their minds?To be fair, though, we haven't really discussed the Alpha. And for what it's worth, it's been said (in the chat) that the NDA is only for the Alpha and for a possible Gamma - not for the Beta.[/quote] He is correct to the best of my knowledge. Then we must consider the new development plan. So

[quote who="Denryu" reply="1" id="2323584"]OMG, what a transparent play for an alpha spot! . . . . . . . [/quote] ROFL! I was thinking the same thing! [e digicons]:digichet:[/e] I'm under the impression it was pretty much designed for Win7. For what it is worth, If I'm in the alpha I'll let you know if it works well given I already use Win7.

[quote who="Bingjack" reply="7" id="2323578"]Maybe. But what I've *definitely* done is engage in a heated debate about a *game* in the wee morning hours after gettting back from a night on the town, and as a result gotten *way* too argumentative about it( not to mention long winded). I stepped over the line in tone and forcefulness, and I apologize to you and Zaisha, and anyone else who may have been offended. I'm afraid I get a little bit surly in such sit

I hope it will have a vice & virture as well as a trait system to compliment an ethical and/or religious system(s).

About modding, we would need to establish community standards for things and it would be nice if we could keep the files in a zip or rar archive. Then maybe one of the real programmers in the community would make a program for checking things.

@Bingjack - Hmm... Maybe you misread my post or are reading too much into it. I love BW and have purchased every game they published excluding the ones with EA DRM on them. Additionally, I'm not claiming that anything nefarious is going on behind the scenes and given BWs founder is a VP at EA I have some hopes for the company for what it is worth. That however does not change my mind that EAs (as well as others) draconian DRM methods are pure evil. You can call such an opinion "childish" if y

@Bingjack - Let's be honest, argumentum ad personam and moralistic fallacy; - nice. +1 troll for the win! [e digicons]:troll:[/e] Besides it is sure good to know that you know what I know or dare I say don't know. I will sleep much better at night now. As far as your comment to "meeting them halfway", I'm perfectly willing to do so. That is what a serial number is for and I'll even toss in the online authentication to boot - one time only per install of course. Hell I'll even
