Have you all bought Kingdoms?

I started reading this post and got interested hearing how most people seemed to love the expansion - (please say why though !!).

But my heart sank when I heard all this stuff about securerom. Ive just managed to finally get rid of starforce drivers from my system that screwed up my dvd drive physically (for those that dont know starforce - do a simple google and youll find all the info you need). Because of starforce I couldnt play half my games and had to buy a new dvd drive and do a full format (took days to get all my stuff off and then reload it.).

Because of this I sadly wont be getting the expansion, Im not going through all that crap again just because of company paranoia about copy protection, giving so called legit companies rights to do what they like to my pc - without knowing the full damage they cause (as was the case with starforce).

I'll keep lookin here for any more info on the matter :(

I also find it ridiculous that people are missing out on thsi great game because of the securom 'issue'. Why don't you people understand that it does absolutely nothing to your computer, if I hadn't read that thread then I would have never known about it and never would have needed to.
Anyway back to topic: I bought this brilliant game on release day and can say for ceratin that it is the best expansion CA or any other company has ever made (that I've played). The crusades has been my favourite so far and I'm stil enjoying it.

I think if u do a very simple google search on securerom you will find that this is not the only game suffering - not in the least. To pretend that just because you dont see anything detrimental happening - that nothing is, that is false security. Starforce acted in a way to slowly reduce the capabilities of physical dvd/CD drives over a long period of time - unoticable on a daily basis (source: http://www.glop.org/starforce/ - this is not and advert, and is not meant to sway opinion - its just a source link). With respect to you, I dont think blindly saying - it doesnt do me harm so its fine, hardly gives you the evidence that other people are being rediculous.

Yes Im sad I wont be playing kingdoms :( Anyho kudos to you for if it isnt affecting you. Im not taking that risk, but please do a simple searchon the net to see the 1000s that ARE having problems with it.

Would be still nice to hear from people to say why they love kingdoms so much. :)

If you didn't know about viruses existing you would not have protected yourself from them, does ignorance mean they wouldn't have caused you problems in the long term?
