Newbie questions

OzzyX · #1 March 22nd, 2003, 12:32 AM

Hi,

I've been thinking about trying out SEIV Gold ever since I heard about it (about a week ago

). However, I was horrified to see that Stratetic Plus, the one UK shop that sells it, has set a 40 quid price tag (usually PC games are about �25-30) for the game. It does seem like a bit of a rip-off.

Any UK people in here who have bought gold? Where did you buy it, and how much did it cost?

By the way, what's the newbie scene like? Is it still possible to find PBEM newbie games?

Oh bugger, there was another newbie questions thread just posted. Maybe someone could merge this one with it?

I'm in Canada, so I don't know about the exchange rates & such.

However, there has been a lot of MoO 3 players flooding in, and there should be plenty of Newbie PBW games starting.

I paid the full prize for Gold and consider it as a very good investment - it precluded me from wasiting about hundred quids on some inferior games during Last year

If you take in all that you get with the gold Version, the price is worth its purchase. If you read the forum and MM site, you will see that the game company gives the best support then any other gaming company, the forum is the best on the net, the members are friendlier then other forums, PLUS all the different mods available, plus all the mod updates, new races, ship sets, and continuous upgrading, and more... You may want to send MM or Shrapenl an PM and see what they would charge you in comparison to where you can buy it over there..... Play the demo and see what the game is like before you buy

just some ideas mac

I'm in england and i ordered it from shrapnel games, it is a bit of a high price but believe me it's worth it, i've played it evereyday since i got it at christmas, but i do recommend you try the demo first as �40 is a lot of money if you dislike it (It could happen

)

I couldn't get strtegic plus's Online shop to order me seiv, so i got it from shrapnel games, it's at the same price, The high price at strategic plus is because they have to ship it from america i think
