It is sad to see so many idiots acting like they are happy with what they paid for. As long as there are idiots like you (people that are willing to pay 30 bucks for something that does not work) there will be products that like PTW. I can **** in a plastic bag and sell it to you as opium. I bet you would be a happy customer. This original message that I posted here on the board was meant to be read by people that so not like what they paid for becuz it does not work. If you are happy with what you bought, dont even bother reading my posts. Just go on and play your game.
And by the way, whoever said "IT's only 30 bucks!. Multiply that by however many copies of this game was sold and that is a lot of money. Actually I could buy a lot of stuff for 30 bucks, maybe another game that would work the way it is supposed to do. Or if I felt like it, I could give it to charity But I guess if you already are stupid, 30 bucks less or more won't make a difference.
Guys, please, if you are happy with your game, dont bother reading this stuff. Just go on and play some multiplayer Civ 3 with your buddies on the internet. Play with 4, or 5 other player in turnless mode and enjoy the game. Just have a book or magazine ready while the game is in the lag mode. I guess they did not tell you about that mode in the manual, did they? Or maybe you dont like the lag mode, just play the crash mode then if you wanna play a quick game. You just won't ever find out who won but you can play it in less than one hour like it was promised.
For those of us who are smart enough to know what they paid for, and feel frustrated with this purchase like I do, and are still reading this, I hope the patch fixes this ****. Cuz I love the single player game and I was waiting for months for the PTW to play it online, but I was so disappointed....
