I just got mine today. It was a huge surprise to see color. Very, very nice. I might be interested in paying extra for color in the future if it were an option. Whoever put the manual together did a great job in layout, color choice and so on.
I was one of the folks that bought FOF via download before the printed manual option was announced. I was one that complained about that fact here on the forums. I now want thank Matrix for working out the option for us early purchasers to have a printed manual. I am very satisfied. The color manual is that much more of a bonus. I'm sure the folks that have had to wait for their box that did not have a D/L will find the wait worth it.

To be fair, this game isn't nearly as popular in the UK as it will be in the US. So you have to understand the econocmics of fulfilling the US orders before the "rest of the world" orders, if indeed that is happening.
Matrix will come good. They've already posted (here or in another thread?) that they underestimated the popularity of the game. It's a simple case of underestimation...I know that doesn't help people who don't have the game...but they will get it to you.

Just got it! I've never had such a heavy game before. As others have mentioned, the paperback novel or manual as some call it is pretty awesome.

The printed manual is exactly 200 pages. The Appendix (which is part of the eBook version manual) is available as a PDF on the disk. We had to do this splitting since we have a 200 pages limit on the manuals.

Erik or whoever,
Just a question. I emailed support twice and no response. I ordered the $9.99 hard copy w/manual on December 28, 2006. I tried to check on the order and realized I have gotten no order number for my order. Can you check your records to see if indeed I did order the upgrade? Thanks. and Thanks for a great game and great support.

I'm not sure why people are having trouble hearing from
support@matrixgames.com, unless these are all weekend issues, in which case you should hear back today.
I would check your spam filters to see if that order e-mail exists. It's tough to track down an order without an order number. If you want to e-mail me at
erikr@matrixgames.com, if you don't have your order # I'll need your personal info to try to track it down that way.
Regards,
- Erik

Any day now... please see my reply in your other thread.

I don't receive an article though I ordered on January 7th.
Will it not reach because it is Japan?
In any degree, there was e-mail but there is not an answer.
It doesn't understand whether or not it is good why and it posts a message to this place.
Anyhow, tell a solution.
