Sunglasses, sunscreen, Baby wipes (for sand in the cracks) and I am ready to go!!!

Whats the count on ordered CD's to date? How close are we to that magic number?

Many, many thanks for making my already miserable social life worse, and making my work routines less productive as I dream of my next moves in the MC. :D :D :D

BOYAH! :D

How good it feels!To paraphrase an old song by the group, America, "I've been to the desert on a tank with no name...."

Hey Capn' can you spare a couple of those baby wipes. That was the one thing I forgot!
:eek:

Great news. Just wondered if you guys will be mailing the CD to game magazines? That was how I learned about spwaw. Great PR opportunity with new release of v5.0 and once they got hook on it, Mega Campaign can't be far behind. (Take it from a current addict ;) )

This is great. I'm really looking forward to trying this MC. If, or should I say when, it is good I will buy every new MC. Thank you very much.

WB, did you say 13 normal campaings? I don't believe it :D

YES!!!!!
Just one little thing Gold SPWAW should be SPWAW Gold.
Because SPWAW (the Game)is much more valuable than Gold.

Just want to congratulate all of you folks at Matrix for your patience in attempting to make a bug free game and for putting up with some of us who can't wait properly for the game. My whole back yard is now covered with empty cans anticipating the heat of the desert. Again, thanks for a fine job. Well Done.

To Matrix staff:

Hope this wont sound too tough in a so celebrative thread, but I've to complain a bit with you.
The reason ? Ok,here it is.
Preorders=20 usd
Orders=25 usd
Well,nothing to say abt this in general, this is something commonly happening.
But in this case i think that somebody will be unjustly disadvantaged by this.
Who ? well me, for example,and others like me,I think;I'll explain why.
I WOULD have placed a preorder for MULTIPLE items (2 CD + 1 shirt at least) if everything with the order mechanism would work well,but this is not YET the case because, as admitted by yourselves in several threads,there is something wrong in the shipping costs calculation system(a bug ?) which cause people to be debited by an amount which is exactly a multiple of the # of items ordered.
In my case I would have paid 42usd(!) for 3 items instead of 14usd (or maybe just a little more due to the higher weight of the envelope).
This was known since the first days the preorder phase has been launched, and up to now has not been solved yet (even I'm SURE you've worked and are working on that).
Of course I've chosen to wait and place my PREorder up to when the problem was solved, but now I see it's too late,cause the problem is still there and the preorder phase is almost expired;the result is that I'll have to pay more NOW cause I've not been put in the position to pay the right amount BEFORE.
I think this is a bit unfair and that's why I felt the need to draw the case to your attention.
Well,I know 5usd more per cd it's not a big amount and infact I think I'll order them anyway(but not up to when the problem with the shipping costs is solved);but sometimes things must be said just to affirm a principle which you think it's right.
This being said,I want to say you made a great job up to now,and you'll always have ANYWAY my appreciation and support.
Thanks.

Yes indeed! I'm going to order a second CD
for a friend. Perhaps the T-shirts I ordered
will inspire some interest as well.

You make a good point Resisti, I think perhaps the solution is to leave the pre-order price available for a couple days after we shift over to the new service. Hopefully that will allow those who have wanted to pre-order but could not to do so before teh price goes up.

No promises, but we will try our best to accomodate those of you who have vocally been trying to get your orders in!
