Sell me your boxed edition copy?!

[eriqchang]

I am in love with this game. Just bought it... would love to own a copy of the very original limited run packaging with dvd, etc.

Does anyone want to part with their copy?

Name your price and I will paypal you and give you my shipping address!

Thanks,

I suppose you could always just make your own?

(Not sure where you might find empty DVD cases, I'm sure they must be around, just never bothered to look for them . . . personally, I've been using old DVD cases that AOL used to send me . . . hey, remember AOL? HA HA HA HA HA! )

...But if you can get a DVD case, obviously all you have to do is print out a color cover and insert it . . . voila!

...Which reminds me . . . I have to do the same thing with Avernum VI, since all I have now is a blank & white sleeve scrawled in my own handwriting: "Avernum 6" . . . damn cheapo Spiderweb Software only sent it to me in a paper sleeve, for chrissake . . . with dithered black and white print on the disc. Computer-generated, of all things. Pixelated.

I mean... I suppose I can't blame them for doing the best they can to stay afloat, but, just saying... when I ordered their game special by mail, I expected an actual DVD box. No inserts or manuals necessary, the box is enough.

Could've made my own DVD myself, after all.

Never again.

I mean . . . they could have, if they'd wanted to, said "No dvd's available by mail." By they didn't.

Heh... Well, he does actually have two other people working alongside with him, but... yeah, I sympathize, naturally, with the fact that it's at the core a one-man business. I forgive him for an awful lot of corner-cutting even it it does more damage to his game quality and sales prospects than I think he fully cares to realize or cares to spend the effort/time addressing, not forgetting the old business adage that time=money.

Honestly and personally: I still prefer and adhere to the Basilisk Games method of: taking as long as it takes to get it right before you put it out there.

Sure, Eschalon uses the same blocky sort of very-fast world-building method, but it does so with so much more visual class, visual adeptness, visual feeling.
