Thanks maherie!
This is the good news I wanted to hear. I've never waited for such a hotly anticipated title like this before, usually I just go out and buy it first day but with Clear Sky I didn't want to be disappointed... of course the major drawback to that is if you wait just a few weeks to play a game you miss out on all the fun of discussing it with others as by that time they've all moved on to bigger and better things...
Thanks again maherie, I shall persevere with it like you suggest and let you all know my thoughts once I've got it! :D
Sweet, no problems. And hey - I'm still playing so feel free to discuss in here, I'm only about half way if that, so I'm only probably 10-15 hours in front because I only really play once a week. So we can go through it together.
EDIT: on second thought, Im going to start fresh, get a new game going so lets keep up the chat in here about what you're doing and where you're going in the game.
