I hope that at least one PA member will become betatester so we can recieve some exclusive stories....<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I think we can guarantee that <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

cool... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Is that person you?

Do you know people that develop the game in person?

people like Jeff? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

William and I met Jeff from Atari and Barry from Firaxis at E3. I don't know whether that should give us an edge or not, considering they must have met a LOT of other people besides us...

But it is nice that Jeff and Barry come here and post on occasion... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

So... Whether *that* gives someone here an edge? Well... That could be... I'm sure they want to be sure that at least *someone* at each of the major game reporting sites has betatester status so they can report to all the fans... The fact that we at PA! are specifically a PIRATE GAMES enthusiast site... Heh... To borrow a trademark phrase, their audience (all of us here) is listening! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I really hope so...

not just so we can recieve exlusive stories but also so we can get some info about the 'real' requirements. cause the req. from the developers usually doesnt say much.

I have my:

AMD +2500
512 MB DDR (PC3200)
GF4 Ti4200

I wanna know before the release whether to buy a Radeon 9800 pro or not to be able to run the game with decent FPS in medium resulotion (1024*768).

To upgrade when you allready have recieved the game is really awful cause when you have waited a long time you dont wanna wait mor.
