Lifetime Founder Access activated

HAHA

Hat's off to you Brad, thanks.

Although I don't feel like I was doing too much crying, I'll try to cry moreso in the future.  Glad I can play around with it a bit before being mostly gone for a month or so.

thanks again..

Edit: 1.8GB it's too big, make it smaller!!      

Awesome! 

I think most of us Founders would've liked to have seen this handled differently, but the level of vitriol from a few individuals was completely uncalled for.

I'd post more, but I'm gonna go play it!

I haven't checked the forums since the middle of last week, did it get terrible?

At least our "crying" accomplished something.

Just downloaded it and about to give it a try.

Brad and StarDock, many thanks.

tid242 -- I know your pain. I used to have a very slow internet connection and I know this one would have taken 30-40 minutes to download (at no more than 6 Mbps). I got ticked at Centurylink about it and switched to a cable connection (which I am still not happy with over their IMAP server) and their "at least 60 Mbps" speed got it down in about 3 minutes. Some phone companies just refuse to give those of us in the boonies anywhere near the speed they claim in their TV ads.

hah, nah, I was just making up something to cry about.  I have a 100megabit connection, so I grab downloads at about 12 megs/sec.  Minneapolis (where I live) has 1gb connections for like $70, but they haven't gotten my neighborhood yet so until then it's "only" 100mb with comcast.  We have centurylink here too - but as you've pointed out, they suck.  They actually wired my neighborhood with fiber, but it's a lot more expensive than the competing fiber, and they're jerks.

I did have a phone modem back in the day and you're right, that definitely sucked, until I went to college and had a T1 (which was fast then, not so much now..).

Appreciate the compassion tho, +1

Ignore.

Just when I get my head right to wait, LOL.

You have to select the special dl as well as put in the pw

Many thanks, Brad and team!

Whining.

Brad,

I appreciate the update on this. You didn't have to and I appreciate it anyway.

P.S. Was making race and setting traits. The tooltip for handy for the blue circle says it's -30% while the green circle says it's +20%. This is obviously wrong.

Well guys...this is almost completely new game! And its beautiful!

Downloading now froggy.

This totally made my day!

My initial reaction: Outstanding! Superb! Well Done! In my first game I am getting trounced by the AI and it is more fun than winning the other versions.

Thanks for the early release and sorry for the grumbling

Thanks Brad...

I got to ask. Have you ever fixed a quiet wheel?

I find that the squeaky wheel gets addressed.

Now I got to go play my game and wipe away the tears of joy.

Thanks Brad/Stardock.  Aw yeah!

I'm usually a quit wheel kind of. You wouldn't believe how much credit I take for Galactic civilizations 3. Self exalted, not anything to take seriously.

Wow, two days before launch. So you could have done this earlier, but didn't want to ?

Thank you Brad! Looking forward to the new goodies

Awesome, I'll try this out when I get home tonight then.

For those of us who have taken a break from the forums.. what is the lifetime founder? What build do we get by entering the code (final build, a beta)? Will the release build download and overwrite this build automatically in two days? Will the release build break saves from this build?

Just wondering if I should wait, or start playing now.

You're a Founder, you've got the badge. You're good to go!

There is a difference between a Founder and an Elite Founder. Both joined in on the EA, but the Elite Founder paid $100 go get all DLCs and expansions.

I have seen the term "Lifetime Founder" only once or twice, but have no idea what it means. I suspect it is a reference to an "Elite Founder".
