[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="3270576"]It's not a proposed map pack. It's the first DLC. If you don't want more crafted maps, don't get it. [/quote] Count me as one who wont buy a map-pack to a game with the a great random map generator and modding tools. However if you would sell actual content, I'd be buying. Selling maps to FE is just stupid heh.
What's wrong with Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinium etc? Most people who plays RPGs can relate to those. While most of the fanboys here will claim it's not original, I'd like to point out that, giving it some bizarre name gives the game no extra value at all. Players dont care, so most companies stick with what people are familiar with. I think you should too.
I agree with luckmann. How did this not come up during the hiring process?
I dont plan to buy this game, but I heard that one of the conditions of the licensetransfer to Cryptic from Perpetual Entertainment was that the game had to be released Q1 2010. I believe this title will share the same fate as Star Wars Galaxies.
I'll be staying clear of that one. 3 months of beta-testing means it'll be full of bugs and exploits. When you need a key for open beta it's not really an open beta, but a marketing stunt. If you didnt sign up for the beta a long time ago you can probably only get the key from places like Fileplanet etc.
