With the german reseller i had the feeling, that they were ordering their games at LGP first and then shipping them to me…
The stuff i ordered with LGP (for example another copy of X3 :D, next order is gonna be a limited edition so that i own 2 standard version and one limited version) took 18 days from the day of order to the day of arrival…
In fact it arrived today.

Compared to huge companies like amazon, the shipping times are very poor, but i doubt that neighter LGP/Tuxgames nor any other reseller have a professional packaging and shipping system as amazon does….
When buying something at amazon.de the shipment takes 1 day and when ordering something with amazon.co.uk the shipment takes two to three days.

So well, the only thing I have to criticize are those shipping times..
Well, of course, when ordering with Tuxgames you can download the games, which is a great service.
I think I’ll just stick to ordering with Tuxgames as long as there are no promotional sales at LGP. Lets me download the game right away and then after 2 weeks I get my beautiful box with my disc and all the nice stuff.
Although holding the printed manual in your hand right away is pretty nice too.

And then let me remind you of making sure to bring us X3: Terran Conflict, Michael!
I really can’t wait to conclude the story.

I’ve noticed that Prey at tuxgames costs only $15 although it’s Linux version was released only at 2008 (off course I couldn’t not to order this game at this price).
Why it’s cost so low while other older titles costs so much ?
Is it because it’s icculus port and not LGP port ?

I understand you don’t have much time to spare for Forums – which has it’s good thing about it – you got work ;)

In the meantime we are waiting for Part2 of the LGP history.

BTW are you planning on porting some more RPG games for Linux ? tell us if you can (or at least hint on a game ;)).
I think Linux gaming misses RPG games most, except NWN and now Sacred (book1 wasn’t that great imo) we don’t have any descent RPG games
But I know of 3 quality RPG gaming in the making that will have a Linux client (not LGP port), Book2, “The Broken Hourglass” and “The Age Of the Decadence” which promises to be a true hardcore RPG. all should be released between 2009-2010.

We probably wont be opening a forum too soon. The whole of this blog is moderated (I just want to keep it from becoming a flamefest for the trolls), and we don’t have time to spare for an entire forum. I agree that it is important to communicate with the community. Before the blog we used to keep an eye on other forums and respond there exclusively, its nice to have something of ourown to pick and choose the topics (although, suggestions for topics gratefully welcomed, my mind dries up sometimes). I think that that may be the best idea for off-topics. Poke me and either I or someone else in the company will post a blog posting about it, if we can.

I’ll try and find a better capcha system but this one seems to be the standard one used by all wordpress blogs, we didnt write it ourselves.

The thing is that Israel geographically “belongs” to Asia but in all world wide events like sports (Euro league) or Eurovision we “belong” to Europe because the many Arab countries doesn’t want to “play” or “participate in world wide events” with us – politics go figure…

Also I want to say that communication with the community is VERY important and I’m happy that you made this blog.
Also as you notice some of the questions in your blog are off topic , that is because there is no “good place” to ask them, emailing you about every question isn’t the best solution.
Maybe you want to open a General Forums about LGP and Tuxgames ?
That’s why you can bound more with the community and we won’t have to ask “off topic” question ;)

P.S
You got to do something with this anti-bot thing… it’s not working properly and sometimes unreadable for humans.

Just look at their order page for people who live outside U.S and Canada :
http://gopostal.com/store/international.php – not to mention you have to add $18 for shipping alone.
