We've already heard your complaining lucienskywalker. Please don't go saying that EAW was a waste of money on every single thread. You don't know that 80% of people can't play multiplayer. The patches did fix some issues. They also showed that Petroglyph isn't going to abandon the game. I stand by Petroglyph until the end. I know that many people are complaining that there isn't enough variety, multiplayer doesn't work, it's too hard, it isn't good enough for real RTS player, blah blah blah....There are never games that people don't complain about. There has never been a game that didn't have bugs. Now if people would play the game and just try to have fun instead of complaining about it, the world would be a much better place. I'm sure most of the problem with multiplayer is the firewalls. It is the same with any multiplayer game for PC. There are firewalls that some computers have and others don't. At least Petro is making an effort to fix it.
