BTW, anybody want to buy an unpunched WiTP?[;)]

Yeah, we used the other guy's copy, it was already punched[:)] I just wanted the maps and charts on my wall as a reference. I still have all the paperwork too, it's in a big box that probably weighs 40 or 50 pounds...the good old days[8|]

CAN WE BRING THIS THREAD TO A CLOSE? I don't believe anyone on these forumns with an ounce of grey matter holding his ears apart believes that $70 is an unfair price for a massive game like WITP. There will always be a few potential players who are either addicted to bargains or sufferring cash-flow problems who will wait for discounts.
The rest of us have already made up our minds that we want to get our hands on this game and start picking it apart and are willing to pay for the opportunity. To make everyone happy, Matrix should raise the price to $100, then offer a "pre-release" discount price of $70. Then even the "bargain-hunters" wouldn't have to wait, and we could all start playing and have a list of "version 1.01" demands in Joel's hands a week after the release.

How about $70 with a Pre-Order price of $40 or $50

No. I bought the game, then I bought a new computer to play the game faster, then I bought a lap top to play the game on vacation. I cut my working hours to play the game. Soon I'll probably be paying alimony because of the game. I would do it all again.

Somebody's been doing some serious catching up on the archives. Can we expect more old threads resurrected? Wonder which thread everyone fears returning from the grave? [:D]

good point. How the hell did it get back on top of the pile? I sure wasn't nosing around in last years forums. I sincerely apologise for my part in raising the dead

I agree totally.[:D]

agree with all... the $50 I spent on UV was well worth the enjoyment and entertainment I received. So another $20 for the whole Pacific? No Brainer!

The most tragic thing is you responded to a guy who has had 8 posts total. Maybe this will awaken him? [>:]
