January Update

I still don´t understand why Marshal kept us informed for years month by month but sees no need to go on with it... is information getting less important and if so - why ?

Perhaps it is crunch time and they are too busy to bother with the bothers of this forum....

too busy to give one update evey 30 days ? after "they" (?) did so that long ?
"...to bother with the bothers of this forum.." ... well, you are really very smart... I just wonder why such a smart guy like you does "bother with the bothers of this forums"...

Is it ok if I ask you next time I look for a useless answer ?

StCyr I must apologize for being harsh on you last month. You are absolutely right in that the development team is not keeping the loyal fans informed of the progress.

Where is Marshall, he has not given us an update in several months.

We have relied on Beta testers to give us some scraps from the tester screen of knowledge, but we have not herd from Ralegh or Pippin in a while.

So what are we suppose to think?[&:]

As the velocity of development approaches the speed of light, times slows down. Perhaps for Marshall only a few days or hours have passed since his last update... [:'(]

I'm so frustrated. I wish if it was being called off, they would call it off. If it is being made, give some info. I am starting to feel how I haven't felt before, that maybe the game has been abandoned.

I would like to be informed if this were the case.

The game will not be cancelled, just that some more patience is needed...since we are talking about a game here, and nothing life threatening, having a bit more patience should not be too difficult to muster....

Well, according to Websters, the definition of patience is demonstrating uncomplaining endurance under distress.

With all of the complaints, myself included, we have not been very patient at all. But, could we get a little information on the progress monthly to alleviate the "DISTRESS"?[;)]

Calm down. This game will be distributed. You will buy it. You will be sorry you did.

So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.

Hmm. Being as it was the christmas holidays, the team did not exactly get a bunch of new material either. We shall see what progresses over the next few days (weeks).

NARF!
Keeping an happy attitude.... OK! I'll try!

Well I do not expect the MG-guys to call of EiA! [&o]
They'll finish it! And it will be great! [&o]
Will be the best game I'll be playing for quiet a long time! [:D]
And whenever it's done - it's done! Complaining and whining won't speed up the progress! So we'll all be patient and are looking forward to playing the game!

And that's as much of a happy attitude as I can manage!

Well, let's see?
The flag does not bother me, as a matter of fact I think it is kind of cool. However, "African-American's" (blacks) sometimes take offence. They see it as a symbol of racism and oppression. You could compare it to the checker board flag of Croatia and how it makes the Serbs feel (an example from your neck of the woods).

Now, now. There is no reason to automatically assume that we will have another Crown of Glory like experience with this game. Is there??
