I'll start. 20, 000?

I pre-ordered May 3 and no sweet email yet.

But I can wait till late next week. Gimme a chance to earn plenty of wife points and get ahead in work/school.

20,000? That sounds pretty crazy to me, Nerfix. Frankly, I'd be wowed by 500 - 1,000 for pre-orders and expect less than that. This is a niche game for a niche game type for what's becoming a niche playing system (PCs by comparison to consoles).

20,000 is better, believe it or not, than what many bigger label releases sell in their lifetime.

Either way, we're all really excited! Great job Shrapnellers!

Now stop reading the forums and go to the post office!!

Your lack of faith is disturbing.

JaydedOne · #6 September 29th, 2006, 03:14 PM

*smile* I have the utmost faith. That said, I'm also a realist. The hard numbers themselves aren't all that important. Just the fact that it's the biggest pre-order Shrapnel's ever had is awesome enough. And I'm all for helping them sell more.

Great, I just ordered a bunch of games since it's payday, and I recieve the shipping notification for the game likely to swallow my life for the forseeable future.

Good job I was planning to quit my job anyway!

Sounds impossible, because the game is not well known. However after the demo is out, and more sites will post reviews, lot of people will order it, whose never played with Doms 2.
I think that the pre-orders came from the Doms 2. fans mainly.
Also I know 7 people just here in my "area" [they are living close to me], who are planning to order the game after they've played with the demo. [Well to be honest I have no clue that why do they wait, because they are playing TCP/IP games with us all week.]

PS. I just got my email that my copy is being shipped.

When did you pre-order?

If anyone else posts their copy is shipping it would be nice to know what date they pre-ordered.
Thanks!

I think that I've pre-ordered around the end of march.
