One thing Shams, where possible can you post info here instead of just a link to FB or twitter?

We'll try, but since we don't have an app for our smartphones which lets us post threads with pics on the forum easily (which we have for Twitter/Facebook making it ridonkulously easy posting new stuff) I can't promise.

But the forum will be getting a lotta love as well, don't worry.

Then I think it's time for such an app. There are apps for everything. So PI should get it's own app, imho.

I wish you all a good week in cologne. A nice city btw.

Way ahead of you.

Now who's this Lütfi özkal, and what does he have to do with announcements 1 and 2?

That's one thing I hate about certain games. (I'm looking at you CA) "Hey, you already payed $xx.xx for our game, how about you pay more for some crappy content, or else you won't be able to play online with other people!"

So far, Paradox DLC has had no influence on whether or not you were able to play online.
Skins, extra music etc. that don't influence the checksum.

We'll I'll tell you this.

Germans can do anything EXCEPT F****** wireless broadband.

What we did horribly wrong was to send every last member of the publishing team to Germany,

meaning that we've had NO-ONE back at the office to help us update stuff and keep you in the loop.

We'll I'm at the hotel now. Using smoke signals as an uplink.

I've opened up the "XXXX" thread now and I'm looking forward to your questions.

Will try to post as much as possible during the weekend but tomorrow will likely be a bad day again, internetwise....


CK2!
