I have confidence that Firaxis will include MP in the original package, so none of these choices apply."Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!" -- Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

I don't really mind, since I don't use MP that much. So I can wait. (Given the school schedule I have, it's probably just as well-- I'm in classes until 6 pm on weekdays
)
However, if I had the time, then yes, I'd want MP earlier.Comment

Well, its not like many people are gonna play multiplayer right out of the box. Most people will first experiment and learn the game in SP. So multiplayer can lag behind a few months without any real problems.Comment

I can just see multiplayer right out of the box now:

I could care less about MP BUT like I said in a post in another thread I think that this no MP is just a rumor started by Firaxis. I'm certain MP will be in."To live again, to be.........again" Captain Kirk in some Star Trek Episode. (The one with the bad guy named Henok)

ROFL!
I think MP is going to be delayed, but I can't say that holding the release date until MP is ready is going to make anyone happier.
If you absolutely have to have MP with CivIII, then just wait until its ready to make your purchase.Comment

Why not? It gives Firaxis a chance to better develop it.Originally posted by Anunikoba

Actually I know of games between people that have already been arranged to play CIV3 MP when it comes out. I think you underestimated the amount of people that play MP. Have a look at the SMAC or CIV2 MP forums to see how many people play and the strength of the community.Originally posted by Akron

I want my MP!
no MP = no civ3Comment

SITS, I think you underestimate the number of CIVers that never play MP.
There are a lot, and these same people don't even come to Apolyton. And to be honest, there are more SP only players than SP/MP players.Comment

Re: MP - now or later?

You left out one terrifying option: Buy SP now then pay for MP later. But nobody in their right mind will ever vote for that.
MP is vital, and it must be done right. So I'd rather occupy myself killing the AI for a while, and wait for a killer MP in the spring.

That is why I am willing to wait for MP- it will be better because of the extra development time. And why should we then also wait for SP if it is already done?Comment

I've never played Civ MP before and I never will, so I voted for the first option although I can't say I hate MP...In een hoerekotje aan den overkant emmekik mijn bloem verloren,

I'd like to have MP included right from the begining,
but it's fine for me if they provide us with MP later
in a free update or in the expansion pack.
Of course the best solution would be that MP
is be included in Civ III 1.0, but if they haven't
got it working properly, then I'll wait too."Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - SolverComment
