Why has Fredrik reduced his forum activity?

He's too busy coming up with new fun stuff for 2011 and 2012. Dont worry he's still lurking though.

His twitter us really active though.

Double posting is considered bad form and against the rules, let alone Quadruple posting. :)

Regarding the auto registration, some people are paranoid and do not want to have the computer do anything like that, and may not even want to manually register.
You would also have to enter your Forum info, and registration code manually anyway, so it would be faster to click the internet hit Pdox from your favourites, and have the cookie log you in then enter the code.
You can copy & Paste each section just not the whole thing, that could be a limitation of the current version of Vb, I am not sure, as I did not code the registration section.
 
What do you mean "of late" you ^%$@%$@ son of a %^#@&$* I have always been a *#^%@% nice guy!
 
Maybe we will give you a code to enter to get a special icon for those that have "spent more than 1 hour entering registration codes." :)
but we will make the code 2 to the 64 power long and make you enter only 1 character at a time and put lots of Zeros and Ohs in it that look identical
 
yes, but they aren't public.

Generally speaking sales figures are among the closest guarded secrets in the gaming industry. you basically only reveal them publicly if you're making a point. See a majority of EA's press releases :) or our Ship Sim Extremes product page.

Does Paradox have any anti Spambot security measures included on the forums besides Moderators and Admins? ;)

I ask becuase lately the numbers of Spam Bots dramatically increased through the forums...
Our Mods do a fantastic job, But we do have a plan once the new version goes live, that should drastically reduce adbots.
 
Johan is not a fan of anyone in a nazi uniform, He prefers the Swedish bikini team.

Now back to more coherent questions please.
 
Guys this thread is supposed to about asking question of Paradox, the last few pages have mostly been spam, if you fill this up with spam Paradoxians are MUCH less likely to read or respond in it.
 
I don't really like Swedish movies. The last good one I saw was Wings of Glass. I tend to ignore Swedish movies too, so I haven't seen so many of them, perhaps that's why I haven't seen any good ones.
 
Sorry those threads only show up when you have 21 icons under your name, you only have 20. ;)
:D
 
What is the favorite web browser of Paradox Employees? It doesn't have to be an endorsement, just... personal favorites.

I like Opera, it's really a complete package. It does miss a few small things I like about Firefox though, so I actually use both. I keep IE around too in case some government site requires it, and also for windows update. Rather not open it though. Chrome is ok, but when I tried it it lacked features I need, and plugins like adblock.

Did you have good grades in school?
I'm pleased with my grades. :)
 
I guess this one goes to publishing.

I bought dragon age a long time ago and finished playing it for a slightly less long time ago. There has gone a while I decide to try it again, but suddenly I can't because the game have to be registered with a EA account to be playable.
What I am asking us if companies actually have the right to do this, as in imposing new material on a product that has been bought without the knowledge of the owner?

And another question, how is life in the office?

I hope the post does not anger the dragon *runs for nearest cover*

Absolutely, when you buy a game you don't actually own it. During installation I'm pretty sure you hit "I agree" somewhere, if you read the Terms of Agreement carefully you'll see that you've just bought a license to use the game and I'm pretty sure you've also agreed to let EA do just about anything they want with their game. Forcing you to register is one of those things.

What's more is that they also retain the right to change the Terms of Agreement as they see fit.

Great huh?

But then again, is it such a hassle to register the game? We really prefer our customers to register their game as well.

IMHO - It's a great game so if EA wants me to do reasonable stuff I'll do it.
