Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

The elves have been working hard, indeed. My shipping notice was sent out at about 7:30 Saturday morning. (I guess elves really do work while the rest of us sleep http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif)

Awesome work, folks.

My gamer's front order says it's backordered. Is this normal?

Shipping Update

Hi all!

It's been a while http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

As some of you are aware we shipped alot of orders today. Having half of Saturday and all day Sunday without the usual interruptions allowed us to get alot done. We have shipped all pre-order through September 16. I think we even got one or two of those orders place on the 17th, but not the majority. We are now anticipating completing shipping all pre-orders tomorrow. That would be all orders through September 29 placed before 6:00 am EDST.

On Wednesday, we will then start shipping those orders placed after release (orders placed after 6:00 am EDST on 09.29). We hope to be caught up on all orders by next Friday or Saturday, although that is just an estimate, as we have received many orders since release and are getting more each hour of each day. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Thanks for everyones' patience.

I got my first copy.
NICE manual. And a very nice tutorial in it. (Id seen the tutorial game but hadnt seen the follow-along writeup in the manual). Excellent job!

Its also cool to see that my name is on the credits page.

Also my "example strategy" for Middle Age Pangaea

Whats that line from The Jerk?

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

No not normal - usually. You see, with most games, we ship your order within 24 hours. If your game is pre-ordered, which means we don't have product yet, your order will move to backordered. Also, if we run out of stock on something it will move to backordered.

Dominions 3 is unusul in that we had so many pre-orders, that we were unable to ship orders place after product release (we always ship on a first ordered first shipped basis -- only fair) and so we had to move those orders to backordered status so that they wouldn't clog up the system. After all, we are still shipping our other products within 24 hours of ordering.

Once we catch up on Dominions 3 shipments, things will work as normal and orders will start shipping within 24 hours (and won't move to backordered).

Sorry for the troubles.

No comment.

You'll see lots more orders one week after the demo becomes available.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Yepp, I am pretty sure also. I can speak in the name of a couple of friends of mine, who refused to order the game until they've seen the demo. I was like "HUH?!", since they are playing with Doms 2. a lot.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Im willing to push Dom3 but I know its not the game for everybody so Im waiting for the demo so I can push the demo instead.
