Marketing tip: Make up your mind. And don't be redundant. You know what MUD stands for, right?

Also, on the download size, we'll be splitting our frills (like the 2 hours of music) into seperate downloads, when we go gold and start selling the game...

It's currently 280 megs, so only broadband friendly.

Thanks!,

Registering for the forums is open. They're letting everybody in. The reason they make you register for the forums to get the download is so that you have to agree to the license agreement before downloading.
