Now that is interesting to me... This tells me that you did not even read what you were ordering... I just ordered the game Last week(received it yesterday)... It clearly states that you will receive the manual shrieked wrapped with the CD inside... If it is really that big of a deal, email me your address and I will mail you a jewel case...

How about this...leave the message in, but remove the part where they get turned into archmages. That way multiplayer people know whats going on AND it doesn't affect single player =)

Good idea.
You can immediately know who is cheating without hurting SP.

Hmm I preordered it before it even came out, money left my Credit Card, it came a few days after release, it never mentioned anything about its packaging.

Dom1 had a nice little dvd case thing it came in, I was rather hoping for something like that. It's not a big deal just a minor thing, I stole a case from a CD-R.

So things that come up often now from some of us are comments about how the devs have "real jobs and families" and are working on things that they "find interesting" in their "free time" that Users have "requested". I dont really know for sure how much the devs agree with all that but it has made an obvious difference in which threads here they join in, no matter if the ideas are good ones or not.

Welcome to the "real world" of the internet... the vast majority of the internet is plagued by such stuff...

I still have my orginal dom1 folder floating around, 3 years old as it is and being bumped around from various HDs and partitions, I can't say that about ANY other game =)

I can say that about Space Empires III and IV.

Although, SE III is far older than that... Civ II has also survived for quite a long time intact on my computer in all its incarnations.

Maybe we should in turn, welcome you to the Shrapnel Dom 2 Forums as opposed to you welcoming the Internet. The community here is not the vast majority of the internet, otherwise you'd see a "Blizzard" or "Ubisoft" as the publisher and not Shrapnel Games.

What the Internet is like and what you create a community to be are two entirely different things. I'd hope you'd appreciate that aspect and not the fact that the world is filled with *******s

One of the classic ingredients of gothic novels is tainted bloodlines, another feature common amongst the traditional, Anglo Saxon and Protestant, gothic novel is that it takes place in some part of catholic Europe, so making a goethicized fantasy 'Bavarian' Ulm is a natural step, I think.

That is a great post. Comments like this about other themes would be great as well.
