fake edit: the launch promo includes catapulting lord british into orbit.

I have gone from supporter to not supporting in the last 6 months. I have stated many reasons why and I'm not the only one.

is this game still shit?

The one thing that shocked me is that they slowed their biweekly ask for cash email. In fact over the holidays based on last year I expected about one every 3 days.

Really?

I have played it....I was a big supporter. Now, not so much.

I think the single player game got lost in the marketing speech to attract money.

It is more Ultima Online then even close to any of the originals. Whales(big spenders) run the forums and moderation as well as any changes to systems in order to protect their investments. If you aren't a big spender you start off with nothing, just some plain clothes where as those that have invested a lot will be armed fully and have an unfair advantage that I don't think can ever be made up in game.

It's too bad though, because you are right there looks like there could have been a game there under it all but politics and moderation muddling has ruined it.

I haven't played it myself so I'll avoid any commenting on your comment That's what I implied responding to Sir James. If those who played the finished product keep saying it's shit I'll reconsider but I'll give it a try no matter what, just to forge my own opinion on the subject. That won't be the first game some consider being shit that I'll enjoy, no matter what. Icewind dale was bashed by many who now crown it as a legacy from the cRPG golden era…

Icewind Dale was a game, not a never-ending telethon / virtual real estate sale. So that's a plus for it.
