No.
You need to be registred to access the support forum.

Then, it is my opinion that the support forum is usually a good place to get a hint of how is working the game.

A few month ago, I read in the support forum a post from someone explaining the different Category of weapons and how they were working. I registered and posted to ask if these sort of informations were in the manual. The answer was they were not.

Now, I cannot brose this forum anymore.
That's overkill.

I suspect they have reasons to hide the opinions of buyers about their game. Obviously another reason not to buy it. A copy of MOO3, anyone?

Wow. Thats pretty resounding and final.

Maybe read my post before throwing a fit?

so they locked their support forum, maybe they have something to hide, maybe it was just filling up with trolls. who cares.

go to their GENERAL forum

http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewforum.php?f=2

or their SPOILER forum

http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewforum.php?f=10

and ASK if you have any questions - or just read whats already there. The patch news, descriptions, and history is all in the general forum. plenty of people are discussing graphic card differences and things there, as well as game play aspects.

Im not defending them or anything, since i have not played the game. maybe they DO have dark secrets to hide. but you should probably investigate a bit further before resorting to blind panic, liable, and tantrums.

To this I answered "NO".
As I wrote, a few month ago I posted a question in the support forum, but it is now closed to unregistred people.

As for the "who cares", I do. I like these sort of games, but I am in no way about to throw my cash with the blind faith it will be playable. Which was not an obvious reality previously.

You really should read my Posts before posting, that would help your answer.

A hippie motto was "Don't walk on the grass, smoke it". You should try the reverse.

Aren't there, like, any REVIEWS or anything? They can't make customers sign an NDA...

Reviews mean nothing. Civ 3 got rave reviews accross the board.
