QA from CA for the Org-ites

[KukriKhan]

These questions are out of left-field, I know. Just thinking of previous problems encountered when TW games/expansions have been issued (making much extra "helping" work for staff and patrons here):

1) Have the CD serial numbers all been double-checked and prepared for activation?

2) Is GameSpy playing host to MultiPlayer again? Is there any advantage to game buyers purchasing GameSpy memberships vs their free products?

3) Are we getting hard-copy documentation, or will it all be on disc?

4) What have been the installation problems encountered by CA staff or testers? If there were any, how were they resolved?

5) Is R:TW '-ian -able' ?

EDIT: To make certain I'm clear: none of the above questions should be construed as critical of the devs or publishers (past or present). I'm just trying to anticipate what sort of problems will need to be worked here when R:TW is released

Many very good questions.
But also quite a few of them which will be answered anyway in a few days when the game comes out. I still think it is better to ask those things which can go beyond the current release.

Here is another one I would find interesting :

Cooperative multiplayer - i.e. 2 or more friends teaming up against the AI - is very popular with other strategy games. Has this been considered by CA, if not for this release, then perhaps for the expansion ?


Oh, and Gil, thanks a lot for your comments on this thread. It sure means a lot to us to know our posts don't fall on deaf ears (eyes rather ).
