This is a traditionnal topic in my forums. Just introduce yourself Welcome on PFF Forums ! This topic is here to let you introduce yourself ! Tell us where you come from, what are your expectations about the game, the name of your cat, what you're doing in your life ... general stuff. This will permit to know a little about each person participating on PFF and help us with the debates and replys. Only one post by person is allowed. Pls. contact person by PM or create another topic in the Bar Forum if you want to talk more about the cat's name .

Yeah, that's quite true. I knew this with StarWars Galaxies. Then, I wondered : "was I waiting for the ultimate SW Game ? The game which will permit me to have an alternative life in the SW universe". At the beginning I'd say "Yeah that's why i xas disapointed." But now I know this is not the problem. I loved the game at the beginning, and why I stopped was because of the game orientation (Jedi everywhere, no funny PVP) and overall, friends leaving the game. It will be the same thing here. Think about Rebellion. The game was a bad game according the press. But for fans, it was fantastic and people are always playing it because there is the SW "touch". If EaW has the SW touch, if we can feel the SW universe, then, We can't be sad

Well, now 1GB of RAM can be necessary for somes games. So, if we want to keep a little advance, 2GB can be useful now. I currently have 1GB and I think i'll add 1GB soon. When ... well, when i'll have money

PFF are managed by a small team of administrators and moderators. You can contact them if you have any questions or complaints about anything by using the PM (private message) system. The moderators are : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/groupcp.php?g=138&sid=9c090b91ebd1a99b106a3229ad49c2e0 The administrators are : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/groupcp.php?g=15&sid=9c090b91ebd1a99b106a3229ad49c2e0 Note - Support admin are only : Ismael, Delphi-PG and Cain NOTE : This forums are free forums. Nobody makes money out of adds, nobody has any other interests except EAW and Petroglyph, we do not have a site, and this forums are NOT the official Petroglyph Forums, they are fan forums ... but yes when the official Petroglyph Forums will be up we will ask them for a fusion. We didn't ask that yet officialy. About Petroglyph developpers presence on PFF forums. DO NOT FORGET : Avoid asking Petroglyph team questions about EAW becouse they are under NDA contract to not say or not supply new informations about the game. Only LEC can. Try to understand that. Thank you.

Hello it's fantastic to see you here. I hope you'll be able to come here more often , and don't forget we support you and the team with the Force !

Hi Well , I don't know what's the nickname of moderators in English, but in France we say "modos" , so don't worry if I say this everywhere This how the forum will work : I'll update Cain post- about modos and admins , by removing names and putting the link to the forums moderators list (no future update needed ) . I'll add a little announce about Delphi-PG and how we cant' interact with him. I'll remove the sticky of the post : "Hello everyone" I don't think it's very useful Then, I have ideas to animate the forum, but I have to check things before ... I'm availaible to annser at any of your questions about myself or the forums or ideas you could have

So true

Well , let me introduce myself That's true that i'm not the most active member, but i'm quite busy. I belong to the staff of the French website : www.swg-fr.com . (8,000 active members on forums, lots more readers (4,000 donwloads of EaW E3 video)). we are preparing the EaW section, the future www.eaw-fr.com. But as i'm already following news to translate them in French and update our news and forums, i'll be able to copy them here to assume a potential newser role About myself, coming from France living in Paris during the week and asmaller town during the week-end I'm 20 and I hope my english is not too bad. Then you can contact me on MSN if you want more information hehe

I don't remember where I read this, on official forums/website or perhaps on Petroden, but i read that EaW devs should have journals. About the scale, they said it was the best possible to have a good view of the units dont' they ? About feedback i must admit that I little worry about graphic quality, I hope we'll see improvement.

Well forums have been quoted several times, they can come here if they want On our website, but i'll contact you soon to show you new site and forums That's true, we talked only a little about LEC. Don't forget we are for the moment a website dediacted to StarWarsGalaxies , and LEC , with Sony Online Entertainement have a very very very bad reputation through our members. I'll try, but, i don't promess you Yeah, we put a hard policy to participate our forums. We struggle against Trolls, mobs, bots, sexuals bots, and all stupid people so only providers e-mails are allowed. It could seem a little narrow-minded, but with more than 25,000 members since the beginning of the website and 8,000 active users at the moment, it's the only wau we found to keep enjoying forums

Hello everyone ! I know i'm never really participating on these forums but for the moment, it seems that the EaW section will never be finished But after the translation I made of the interview, I think I have to do a little feedback, because we had lots of comments with about 200 people. First, we all thank Petro for the time given to us. We hope that other events like this will be able to be done, even if anwsers don't really "answer" to the questions Then, we talk a lot about how will Devs give information about the game. By infirmation, we say "text information", not screenshots or videos. That's why, with devs reading us, it seems "necessary" to create new communication ways. We hope that devs will make an weekly event like the "Friday Feature" in Star Wars Galaxies. Each week, we would discover a unit, a building, a place, an element of the game with official description, a screenshot, why not a little story etc. Other thing, while people interested in EaW Growing fastly, people are really waiting for an official FAQ, which could be completed by the monthes coming. To finish, I'd just say that this summer Empire at War made the cover of the most important French videos game magazine ! Gratz

Have fun

Oh, I can talk about Ubisoft, it's .. French Created in 1986, Ubisoft is currently directed by Yves Guillemot (who created Thrustmaster and Hercules a "good" businessman ) . There is about 3000 employees in the world, 2000 are creating games. Facilities in 21 countries and games distributed in more than 55 countries. But I think you should be able to find that on the web. More interesting I think, Electronic Arts is very interested in Ubisoft and became the first Shareholder. Recently, a polemic happened in France, where some poeple were asking a French governement action to keep Ubisoft independent. Actually, if Ubisoft would become a EA's facility, I guess some studios will be closed. I know gyus who worked at Ubisoft. They both think that they were lucky to work there. Leaders are skilled and objectives of quality reached. Overall when you see last games like Princve of persia or Splinter Cell ! Finally , i will add that Ubisoft is quite popular in France (and I think in other countries) because we know that the company is healthy , and the adventure is a success

Well, it's not surprising , but this is really a bad point for the game !

Well, it could be the moment to launch a "real" community website and forums !

Very interesting, but is this supported by Petro and Lec ? I need "official" announcements before publishing something like that

Héhé, SWG. I had been the second master weaponsmith on Kauri But the game became ridicoulous, since we had Jedis. The day when a Jedi rebel overt killed me in front of the theed Spaceport, I said : enough.

Ok perharps, Delphi will accept an interview by me ( Well, I'd be very interested in asking a few questions ... ) I Hope ML will be able to ask us quite quickly

You should'nt go too fast. You could put so many questions that you wouldn't be able to correct them in the future with final answers given by Devs. I read a long time ago (Not in a galaxy far fa away) that devs were planning to publish FAQ.

I have great news ! Exams are over, Holidays ! Well, how is going the interview ? If it's not too late, my questions are ready now and I'm glad to announce that we have 5,000 viewers for EAW stuff on the website We have opened EAW Forum section yesterday, the EAW wesbite section should be opened next week. Also happy to see that we have declared dev, good point for the game

I'm sorry, i'm really busy these days. What I can say fastly, it's that we had large participation, I don't know the right number of people but I can say that over than 2,400 people downloaded the video which had been used as work support. About the interview, don't forget that we can't ask Mike for features, they are under LEC control. Perhaps we could ask for one at the end of the questions. About people reactions, we chose 5 topics which had been hot. (StarWars immersion/community managing/scale problems/beta test/One feature revelation) I'll put a summary as fast as I can Cain, could you PM me when you'll have news of our feedback submit ? Cya

Not surprising. I was hoping 10 questions but it will be only seven,which is not too bad ah this developpement time.

Bad news, very bad news, EaW has an "officiel" website on LucasArts website. Awful websites where no community is possible , i'm very sad of that. Moreover I think that there won't be forums on Petro website as dev Team can't work on public boards. It's not good news for the game. But stay Optimist, EaW is the most popular PC Game from the E3 ! About the interview : When do you think you'll send it ? I'd like to work a little with my community mates to have questions asked by the majority Edit : Thanks Cain for information

Already translated in French in our website, I hope we will have Interviews in more;)

I've just read the old one carefully , and I'd have some comments : I think it's too foclised on details that most of people don't care. It would be better to ask the same thing with a manery more " general" to show we are interested in all one aspect and personnaly I think it's a clue of serious behavior. For example : I'm a reader, mods aren't interesting me for the moment, I just want to discover the game. BUT , talking about the impact of SW in the game, the respect of original aspects , the immersion of the game in SW is really interesting people, because it's the "kind of game". I agree that it nearly the same thing, but you don't focalize on the detail of "mod" . Moreover, it's a good way to have (if we are lucky ) new stuff on the game Then, it's a question of choices, but you have to think about the impact of your interview. It would be certainly published here, then linked on petro. From Petro(den/glyph) to EAW.org/.net/filefront , first fan sites on Europe (Deustch one and French one) . Moreover, after E3 , everyone will know Empire at War with details, the sucess (or the opposite of the game will begin after E3, we can think websites dedicated to the game will have new readers. I don't think questions 2/3/6/7/ are really important. Actually, you have an extraordinary opportunity to interview Mike and with this kind of questions, you lose occasion to discover the game which is the most important I think .. But as I said, it's a question of choice, you would prefer to focalize on these forums and on Mike's life I'll work on this interview with my teammates I think I'll focalize on the SW aspect of the game (questions about immersion, respect of the Universe etc.) 15 questions is a good number, 20 is too long , 10 is generally too short About the structure design : Question 1/2 : Focalized on mike and Petro , welcoming question and decontracting one. Block of 6 questions relative to SW Universe Block of 6 question relative to RTS "universe" I think after E3, we will have lots of thingsto ask Question 14/15 : Conclusion question and, why not, a funny question. Here is my opinion about interview
