Very funny... That one actually had me going for a few seconds, even though the next line was "just kidding"...
I too had ceased to expect this...Comment

An long-awaited announcement indeed! Let me just chime in with all the others to say: Great, you made it! Way to go!
I hope for your sake you drop this online sillyness for a few days and take the whole team out to drink your collective heads off. You've earned it.
After all, now that the ranting and raving about how the game hasn't materialized is finally over, I'm sure a lot of the IGMOO trolls are sharpening up their "Moo3 SUX!" reviewing skills.
Oh, and could you possibly tell us if we get a proper manual in Europe?"The number of political murders was a little under one million (800,000 - 900,000)." - chegitz guevara on the history of the USSR.

This is really nice to know. My hat is off to you Rantz.
Tell the entire development team thanks for putting up with us all for so long, for being civil even when people were trying to kill you (yes I have seen the IG forums) and for getting the game out of the door. :Bows to Rantz:Chaos, panic and disorder... my work here is done.Comment

Re: Brief Rantz comment
YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rantz, Chantz and all the team that worked on this game. Everyone. Well DONE!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought the guide today, so that should keep me busy until the game comes out. Once again, u guys should go and have a very looong break! U deserve it. As well as a pay rise to help with all the unwanted stress that has occurred due to the delay of Moo3. But anyhow, thanks. I eagerly await the arrival of the galaxy on the shelves. Lets just cross our fingers and hope a print rush is put on it. MOo3 has left da building!!!Originally posted by Rantz
Yes we're gold, officially and yes I can finally confirm that.
The date we were told for gold announcement would be today and that stores would be the first part of Feb. What IG decides to do, is up to their marketing forces and such. R4eplication and distribution *can* occur in as little as a week if a print rush is put on it.
But again, at this point we're waiting to see as much as you guys...

Congratulations, QS!Comment

Thank-you Rantz, Chantz, and all at QS. I'm of the opinion that if its good, then its worth waiting for. I feel like a kid before Xmas now, just holding on a few more days... and then PARTYTIME !
I feel like starting a religion now, anyone interested?

Hey Rantz!
Now that the pressure is over, what will you do with your spare time? Play MOO3? No really, are you fed up with every aspect of MOO3 or...?
BTW... congratz on finishing the game.

Congratulations from my side too!
But I agree with Alexfrog! As Rantz said it could be shelved within a week, but IG will let that last 4 weeks! I am just asking myself why they do this? Don't they think we've waited long enough?Comment

You buy publishing space etc in advance. If they've paid for a lot of activity in the last weeks of Feb it makes more sense to use it than to pay more $ to advance the date by a couple of weeks.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

Grumbold, you cynic
They can always publicise it after the release !
I hope...

Its not cynicism, its sound business practice. Publicity is just one facet of production and marketing. If you arrange for the production of 50,000 CD's over 4 weeks in February and sign a contract that gets you the best deal, why break or renegotiate that contract to pay three times as much to start earlier and produce them faster just to get a 2 week advantage? Only reason to do so would be if the beancounters could demonstrate that the faster release would generate more than enough sales to offset the whole of the added cost.
We like to act impatient, but few of us would be prepared to pay $10 more to secure a 2 week advance in the release. A lot more of the public who are not so tightly focussed on this one title would be put off by the added cost. I strongly considered not buying Simcity 4 when it hit the shelves because I noticed it was £5 more expensive than usual and the only way to combat the trend is to refuse to buy.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
