Well... with the SA post office being as pathetic as it is at this moment, you're always taking a gamble. Quite a number of letters from abroad never arrived, but none of the bigger packages got lost. But I must say some of them took 2 weeks, other 3 months. Al Emmo arrived after 3 weeks if I remember correctly.cable wrote:It really got me excited and after putting off buying Al Emmo I finally decided to do it. I live in South Africa so when something has to get shipped to me I always think more than twice about it. We are one of the two countries in Africa Amazon won't ship to anymore other than via courier. I recently purchased a $25.00 book from amazon and paid $40.00 for shipping.

I've tried to get in touch with her for a while. Suffice to say, due to the wonderful nature of the USA's war on drugs, I've had a bit of a run in, and thusly was incapable of remedying anything. However, on August 20 I had sent an e-Mail with my phone number and have yet to receive a call (or an e-Mail in reply!).Pablo Gonzalo wrote:The game couldn't be released at a better time for me, tomorrow is a national holiday here (Independence Day).

Well, so long as you're trying. It was just that I used to see you fairly often at the forum and you suddenly disappeared shortly before the BTR went up. Figured you'd took off.Sartori wrote:I've tried to get in touch with her for a while.

Prior to my being incapacitated, the place I was renting fell victim to a grease fire. I had sent word of my phone number (I couldn't access a computer at that time) via another user I knew, but I still received no phone call.
Life has been hell for months.

I've been there for 8 years, I have an impeccable reputation - there's no way I'd throw it away for less than 100 dollars worth of stuff. But I'm not entirely too concerned with her lack of response, I have no issue giving her leeway to respond at her leisure, as it would be ridiculous to expect it..Pablo Gonzalo wrote:

Hope things start getting better for you.
yea that sucks, I think that people who already bought the collectors edition should be able to show proof of purchase and pay some shipping and handling fees and get the promotional poster...Sartori wrote:Yeah the only thing I'm sad about as that I already own Al EMmo/music cd/ etc and the only way I could get the poster is to.... buy it again..?
Hey there, Rav. I tend to frequent completely different sections of the internet these days, so it's probably not too surprising that I don't run into people I used to know from the old days on the official QFG forums. It was actually a random visit to the new version of them that alerted me to the imminent release of this remake, though. If I hadn't wandered in there when I did, I probably wouldn't have known about this for months.El Ravager wrote:Eric! Haven't seen you since the good ol' days before the official Sierra forums started to suck. Awesome to see you online again.
Did sierra have a good presence on the web during the good old days? I thought that they never did... Because I remember checking for Sierra on the internet, back when the internet was still young and not every company had a good website, and I remember that they had a weak site and were still using their BBS...El Ravager wrote:Eric!

There are a handful of signed posters that are being given away as prizes. If you feel adventurous, you can, of course, forego purchasing Al Emmo and try to win one!oughtobe wrote:yea that sucks, I think that people who already bought the collectors edition should be able to show proof of purchase and pay some shipping and handling fees and get the promotional poster...Sartori wrote:Yeah the only thing I'm sad about as that I already own Al EMmo/music cd/ etc and the only way I could get the poster is to.... buy it again..?
Also I think they should hold on to one, maybe a couple, and raffle them off to people on the board... maybe have an easter egg hunt for QFG2VGA or something? anybody else think this is a good idea? Eriq?
Depends on how long ago you're talking. From 2001 to 2005 I was a member of Sierra's official forums, which used WebX format. The forums were around before then for a while too, in at least one earlier format, but I wasn't there then. They switched off to yet another type of forum in 2005, and I just really didn't like it much at all, so I kind of faded out of the place. But Quest for Glory's forums still exist, with a dedicated core of members who refuse to let the forum go stagnant.oughtobe wrote:Did sierra have a good presence on the web during the good old days?

I wouldn't say that Sierra had a good presence on the web back then per se, but there was certainly a very strong Sierra fanbase, particularly for the old adventure game series that we all know and love. After the WebX boards were retired in favor of the new dull corporate-looking ones, a lot of us gave up just 'cause it didn't feel like home anymore. A few other fan forums were started (most notably questformoreglory) in an attempt to salvage the close-knit community that'd been formed through the years, but those regrettably died down in a pretty short period of time as well. However, I have definitely noticed a lot of the old Sierra regulars coming out of the woodwork with the announcement of QFG2's imminent release. Very kewl.Eric Banyon wrote:Depends on how long ago you're talking. From 2001 to 2005 I was a member of Sierra's official forums, which used WebX format.

I really didn't pay that much attention to Sierra's official website outside of their forums. I knew what I was there for and that was that, as far as I was concerned.
lolNow THAT would cause an uprising.didnt you guys see it said august 24th maybe august 24th 2009 ????
