Any Firaxians/atarians present?

Nikolai · October 30, 2003, 11:32

I can't imagine they wouldn't.

Haven't they been no all previous release parties?

Anyway, sad that the party is at that time.

I am away at that moment unfortunately...

The last release party I attended (Play the World) was not much of "party", but more of "a bunch of people hanging around in a chat room".

We need to get organized with booze, music, dancing and other fun stuff.

Problem is, it probably won't be in stores until the 5th. I know that the "official" press release says "in stores Nov. 4", but any site I see selling it says it ships Nov. 4. So the party may be a tad premature.

Also, November 4th is a TUESDAY, not Friday.

Better have on the 4th, once we get our hands on it, no will be able to attend.

hi ,

would it be possible for Soren to be there also , .....

have a nice day

Chieftess · October 31, 2003, 22:27

I'll be there. Atleast Apolyton got to have a Firaxis Chat for a change.

We had what? The last 2, 3 at CFC? Since I'm a beta tester, I'll still be waiting for my CD (won't get it until later).

CanuckSoldier · November 1, 2003, 00:05

Well I'll look for my Beta Testers CD, but I've pre-ordered C3C plus bonus cd from EBgames, can't wait for C3C MP one hour longer than neccesary :-)

Me too.

WarpStorm · November 1, 2003, 19:38

I admit it, I pre-ordered too

Nikolai · November 2, 2003, 16:01

Hmmmm.... Come to think about it: When I read thesee news some days ago, it stood friday?

If it's tuesday, I might be able to reach it

(although I do have a schoolday the day after...

).

Monte-Cristo · November 2, 2003, 17:13

i'm waiting for civ4...

WarpStorm · November 2, 2003, 18:26

You'll be waiting a long time.

CanuckSoldier · November 2, 2003, 20:51

They won't even think about that until they see sales figures for Conquests, and Pirates is the priority now. Depending on what they think about the Civ3 Engine(and C3C sales)you might even see another expansion first before a complete over-haul off the game(ie Civ4).

I just came to the realization that I have tomorrow off, I work for my city and its general election day!!!!!! So that means a mid morning trip to the mall and then.......
