...4 months after release.
very temporary post here, no spell checking or anything of the like. just want to jot done the gist of it before i forget then the plan is to rework the last two posts next week when im actually off work *gasp!*
CA released their "free units" for Empire a few days ago. and they fucked us again.
the patch did a lil, not as much as you might think but it helped a lil for those it didnt break the game for. (and its been a bank-week with no hotfix, wtf?)
CA was also working on another 14 units which you can pay for that whole time.
meanwhile, none of these units do anything more than replace existing units ALREADY IN GAME.
they should have been there since the game was released. again. fucking dollar hugging couch-coin fuckers.

how to remove a foot from the mouth...
...or perhaps this should be labled as "I am sorry Tilted Mill."
This post will be updated when i have more time to a more proper and passable state but til then i just wanted to get this out.
Hinterland:Orc Lords was released a few days ago (I totally missed it due to my work schedule of 24days straight with 0 days off, the next day off will be the 6th of July, yay!). To my utmost shock and awe they have decided to give Orc Lords FREE to all previous Hinterland owners.
I just want to say, Bravo guys! way to show some backbone in an industry full of money-grubbers! I've now decided to buy another tilted mill game just_because of this move by them. I must now decide what to get when theres nothing im really boning for, Nile Online looks interesting, mayhaps we'll give it a try!
To Recap,
GOOD JOB TILTED MILL ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!

Something positive...
Been a bit aint it?
Well not much new has happened here recently, thus providing little new need for a fresh batch of bitching. So i figured, why not mention something potentially positive for this go'around.
Anarchy Online! There I said it, nothing new here, same game that's been out for many a moon is still alive and still kicking. Funcom, who really slung shit on the wall with that lump of poop-pudding commonly known as The Age of Conan, has gone and done something very much "right".
Anarchy Online has what they call a "Froob" program. What it boils down to is anyone can create a fresh account, download the client, and play the original game (all expansions locked) for FREE! No credit card needed or any catches of import whatsoever. (the only catches are locked expansion packs and you cant turn off the advertisement billboards in the cities.) And to go ahead and get it out, this isn't the games death-throes, this program has been in place for almost 2 years now, that's better than 1/5th the games age already!
This type of behavior is what i would like to see more game companies emulate. Sure, nearly all mmo's out there have some sort of free trial but these guys really have gone above and beyond what any other company I know of have offered. I commend Funcom and specifically Anarchy Online's team for this extremely generous program. I also beg other companies to take notice and learn from these folks. I truly believe other golden oldies like Everquest, Ultima Online, and Dark Age of Camelot could gain quite a few new players if they would but initiate this type of program. I know they offer 10day trials and whatnot but what the hell is that to an mmo?
*addendum
Just wanted to also mention another moldy-oldy out there in neverland that which also has a great deal of depth and playability for free, ( as well as very active pvp which newcomers can join in and be very competitive!) Shattered Galaxies.
