quote:I tend to agree. While I'm a fan of cheap and/or free if it comes between the developer gets to stay in business and charge a little more or not and go out of business and I think it's a good value. I'll pay a reasonable price. And as far as value goes entertainment unit per hour Spiderweb games are as cheap as it comes. When it comes to a developer who supports the Mac OS as a first class citizen I'll doublely pay. (Note to Jeff this is a figure of speech please don't charge me $50 for Nethergate, unless you have to, then I will pay it, because it sounds like it rocks).

I figured as much, regardless I'm pushing it as hard as I can to folks I know who are into RPGs hoping can get a few more copies sold. I really dig the scenario/mod idea and I would desperatly hate to see the idea behind BoA/BoE die eventually. It almost seems to me(granted this isn't a scientific study by any means) that BoA was a victim of BoE's success. Seems like a lot of BoE users didn't feel compelled to upgrade to BoA for whatever reason. Why that is, I can't say, I'm sure there are a variety of reasons why, from scenario avalablilty to play style. ***EDIT*** Also, while not knocking the sudo-3D view of Avernum I do see a certain charm in in the true 2D graphics of BoE. There is such a thing that If I had been started on BoE I might be partial to it for one reason or another as well.

Me during various downtimes at work, often after having dealt with a motarded issue, say users with Word Perfect and Eudora 4.0........    Me after I inadvertantly used all the bandwidth nabbing an OpenSUSE DVD torrent. I knew I forgot something like cap the upload.

quote:Pop, oh thank god, someone who isnt a slack jawed yokel (waits for the heavy items to be thrown). In all seriousness I drink quite a bit of soda, if you can call it that. I hate most regular sodas full of fattening fructose filth, but I do enjoy the occasional "real" coke gotten from the mexican market. Thats right with real good honest sugar. For the most part however I simply cannot drink regular soda it's like drinking a candy bar(I'd rather have the candy bar). I am hoplessly addicted to caffeine and need maximum dispursal throughout the day and night. Beverage of choice, Vault Zero. I like the flavor and the carbonation. 5 calories a can and the maximum caffeine you can get in a soda. I also drink hefty amounts of coffee and expressos (all homemade, screw 4 bucks at the local coffee hut). I have also become partial to a product called Power Edge. It's great at work, lil packet in my water, bam 160 mg of caffeine right when you need it. Posts: 145 | Registered: Sunday, February 18 2007 08:00 |

Long time reader, first time poster. I used to play Exile many many many many moons ago as a small child( I think just the demo at that) and it still holds a unique place in my heart along with Realmz. These games fostered my love for the RPG genres. About a year ago I found my way to Spiderweb software again and dabbled with the demos but there was no time to play them as I was finishing up my BA. Soon after all of the Avernum games were purchased and I am working my way though them(geneforge is scratching at my wallet to get to my CC). I'm sad to see that BoA was not a financial success as the mass(well sudo-mass) of senarios is enough to keep me busy for months and months. I'll be purchasing a couple copies for my brother and sister, maybe do my part to show Jeff there is life in this build your own game idea. However I fully support whatever Jeff has to do to keep afloat, it's rough out there running your own business(certainly so in the game industry as fickle as us gamers can be).
