True but again it all depends on the plan at hand. The details of which we are simply are not privy to at the moment. A controlled short term group to lay the foundation under a NDA then a general pubic one after the fact followed by a third high quality selected third one under a NDA again prior to release would seem a good course of action in my opinion.

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="21" id="2222936"]After sleeping on it, it seems to me like most people actually prefer Camp #1 over Camp #3. Most people who have voted for #3 have qualified their vote with "as long as I can override the automatic distribution when I need to." But really that's the only difference between Camp #1 and Camp #3 (besides non-specific equipment and auto-upgrading). Camp #3 is Camp #1, just with a competent automation system! What scared people away from

[quote who="lordkosc" reply="1" id="2216292"]Camp #1: “Sophisticated” especially since it is single player focused, I like the meat and potatoes of a game !!!!!!! make me think how stuff works and then let me optimize the process and make it efficient as possible! In the end we all should realize Elemental is not going to be a casual game, there are too many casual games as it is. [/quote] Without going into all the details, since
The "story" has been picked up by GI here .
UPDATED : Edited due ot Frogboys last post. Good to know and thanks for the sitrep! As always they are greatly appreciated. [e digicons]:andrew:[/e]
Good stuff. It is always nice to see these "behind the scenes" posts. [e digicons]:andrew:[/e]
Kotaku just published a story about the situation here . It starts out... "Stardock CEO Brad Wardell exhaustively details the whys and hows behind Demigod’s crippling networking issues in a blog post aptly titled “Demigod: So what the hell happened?”" by Mike Fahey UPDATE: The story also made ZergWatch h<a href="http://news.zergwatch.com/2009/05/19/what-went-wrong-with-

I also think it is a good idea and I would support the prior suggestion about reducing the points upon leaving. I would also consider making a team voting option as well.
good stuff!
Hmmm... And I always thought flow control was on the client side. You learn something new every day...
[quote who="Murteas" reply="23" id="2200204"]The fact of the matter is: the single player game was not intended to be "free to the public" no matter how big or small a part of the software it is. The game has a user agreement and nowhere in it, does it say: "You can use this software for free as long as you don't go online to play with other people."

[quote who="Aroddo" reply="1" id="2197888"] Quoting Shock0311, reply 24Quoting Aroddo, reply 20Dear Frogboy, I'm surpised to see that after all this time you still kept your cute belief that forum users are interested in civilized exchange, when the word FUCK is just four keystrokes away and the retaliating fist in a different state, shielded by anonymity. I now take upon me the task of educating you about the reality of proper internet communication: <br
For what it is worth, I think the core community is sold. The conflict is likely a cause of the frustration and tension levels which are running high right now for some. Then there is the whole DOTA mentality filtering in on top of that to boot. I expect it will settle down in soon enough. It does seem to have done so already over the past two or three days.
Good stuff again. Great communication as always. [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e]
