We are not doing the CD manufacture, printing sleeves, shipping or innumerable other things that have to fall into place. We have had to flex our plans to several unforseen circumstances, but we are making good progress. Our hope was to have it ship by the end of this week but that will likely slip at least until the end o next week...we are but a small frog in a big pond! We don't get to dictate terms ;) [ May 03, 2001: Message edited by: Paul Vebber ]

I purchased the MC over a month ago, and would still like to see the download, and the upgrade made available now. Im sure there are others out there that wouldnt mind, im sure alot of em would even enjoy at least getting 5.0 while waiting for the shipping to start.

Just speaking for myself here, I ordered the MC, and I bought the MC mainly to get a hard backup to the new version, though it's entirely possible that I'd prefer the MC to that (though hard backups are quite warm and cuddly). My buying the MC in no way is thought of in terms of whether it's fair for my payment to have been, in a sense, beaten by someone else who paid nothing downloading the new version. No, my train of thought runs along the lines of the download giving me training for the MC, and of course, more time to play SPWAW. There's little or no point to playing 4.5 in my opinion.

Only teachers get that kind of break! I'll be firing another vacation up starting 6/9. I hope I'm very experienced in the ways of V.5 by then.

Well, don't weap now, but I have 15 days left, and I plan to display enough discipline to where they will remain where they are regardless of SPWAW status. Hmmm, have one coming around the first of November. I wonder if I'll be sweating one of the new Matrix games coming out around that time?

Status: offline 		Alby: My, we are thinking alike aren't we? Actually for an instant, I was thinking you and I would just totally dominate this board so much that it would change it's name to AC Forum (Alby Charles Forum). :D But my dreams of grandeur had to be shattered as I got interested in the Mavericks game. What a team!!! End of the 3rd qtr. they were down 14, looking flat, the refs took Novitski totally out of the game and I went to bed. I wanted to go to bed, and had about 15 minutes of preparation, then decided to check and see if they lost their heart and started getting whooped like the whooping they were giving the previous game. Nope, checked back and they were 9 points down, close enough for me to forfeit the sleep and watch. I'm glad I did, what a game! That team came back from double-digit deficits in ever game of that series. I have a recording of the game against the Hornets where they came back from like an 11pt. deficit in the last 1 1/2 minutes. They are really incredible sometimes. Sorry about the Mavericks sidetrack, but though they're not the best team, Dallas fans have really had a royal treat watching them this year.

So if the Mega Campaign will be out next week how about the Download version? Today would be great give us all weekend and next week to "rev up the tracks". I know it seems like beating a dead horse but here at worl I have T-1 & T-3's I can use for a Download much faster than a 56K modem at the house.. Just a thought..... GeneralOberst Teufel :p ;) ;) ;)

I'm agree with you. I purchased the MC too, but I would like to download the version 5.0 as soon as possible. I purchased the MC CD for the campaign itself, not for SPWAW 5.0 XAAL.

Status: offline 		Here's my vote for getting the 5.0 upgrade out aasap. My order went in in april also. I know the Matrix team is working hard. It's the unforseen things that crop up that make the delays. I understand. Whenever it happens I know it will be as soon as possible. Keep up the good work. Just get the details right. Was it Sun Tzu who said something like, be as careful at the end of your endeavors as you are at the begining. As to the basketball team, I was the best player on the other team anytime I played as a kid.

Well, I see how the info I provided might've been a basis to have it deleted, so I won't mention what I mentioned before, in the hopes that this one will get through and that you'll know I responded. Hmmm, I wonder if your deleted posts revealed what mine did? :D

Matrix knew that once we made a solid move of forum dominance, which, if we so chose, could've been a springboard for taking over the world, that they would have to make the download available to stop the inevitable. :D I wonder if Brain, of Pinky and the Brain, managed to concoct such a scheme in his quest for world domination? I mean, we just might as well had come out and said: "Look, if you don't make the downlaod available pronto, then we'll just have to take over the world".
