Very Cool, Wyvern! Only thing is, I don't do credit cards

If they'd allow a money order or check...

Most interesting; my dad was born on 7/14 (Bastille Day). Well, Wiz 8 would be a great birthday present for you, no?

I just contacted them online to see if alternative payments can be allowed....waiting to find out (anticipation)....

July 15th? My god...I sure hope it doesnt take that long. Thats 4 months to this date. I think that's so ridiculous....but after 9 years.....whats a few more?

Hmm, good info Saz, I dont have a credit card so I have to pay by money orders too....by the by, what is the cost?

Drow Warrior...are you Chaotic Evil and praying to Lloth?

Hehe, I guess so, now! Actually, read my response on the "Drow Warrior" thread on the WW board that Slug initiated to get my take on the Dark Elven race.

...but Sir-tech Cananda does not endorse this release date. They say that as soon as a date is set, it will be put up on their website. EBWorld is probably guessing. If Sir-tech has yet to sign with a publisher, the delay could be considerably longer than a few months. One can hope, however, and sometimes the rumor mill produces the truth.

Thanks Wyv!

Yoink! Heh heh. I'll steal that link and save it for later when I get home...

Does anyone else agree with me that having Wiz 8 REQUIRE 3-D acceleration would not be in the best interest regarding the game's ability to sell?

And what do people who buy it for someone not knowing that they don't have 3-D acceleration do wih it once the non-usable gift is presented to someone who can't play it?

Sir Tech hints that a software mode MAY be added but thats it...just a maybe.

I won't be losing out on being able to play but I think a lot of other people who would LIKE to will for lack of being able to update their system for the sake of a game.

Seems like a big marketing mistake to me.

Odd...I have been promoted to Magister on my 99th post but says I have 100.
Check out my status on the W&W forum...98. Where did # 99 go?

I agree. I think Sir-Tech would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn't include a software mode. They would be cutting out a fair portion of the market if they didn't. A lot of people will not upgrade their systems for the sake of a game, no matter how good it is. I would, but hey, that's me. Did I mention I want this game?
