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

)

Awesome work, folks.

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

Shipping Update

Hi all!

It's been a while

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.

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?
"I'm in a book! That means I'm SOMEBODY!"
(just kidding. But it is cool)

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

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.

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.

Sadly no box was waiting on my doorstep for me when I got home from work today. Hoping desperately for tomorrow.

(btw: Congrats on making it into the credits Gandalf!)

first it was 'the biggest preorder ever', now this:
approximately how big a number is many ?

1000? 5000? (N+1)?

("more each hour" = at least 150/week, but not enough info to make an estimate).

I just got my fulfillment email. I ordered on 25th Sep.

I just have to wait for it to get to the Uk and hopefully it won't get intercepted by customs.
