SQUEEEEEE!!!

Is there going to be an official forum?

The game is still listed as available on the 20th for me.

Where did you see the date changed to the 19th ?
Over to the right where it says Releases, then below that, Conquest of Elysium it says "Available to play Feb 19, 2012"

Does it take into account differences in time zones?

No final word yet, but presumably the Desura forum.

He's not as fragile in CoE23 as he was in CoE2. I'd still be careful with him, though. and yes, he has an upgrade spell, but requires an ancient forest to do it.

I still see "Available to play Feb 20, 2012." on desura.com, with the time counter at 128:02:34

Good catch about the time zone, it's probably the source of the different dates.

Guys,

Does this mean the game will not be available from Shrapnel? I don't understand Desura. Is it anything like Steam?

Best wishes,
Steve

Why not just have all 4 people on 1 computer?

Four people on one computer makes for a very crowded, frustrating ame very fast when you're switching chairs every 30 seconds.

Two copies with two people per computer each is quite doable. You just need to select two players as human from the game setup on both machines (the "Me" setting) and then divide them up as you please.

One computer will be running two instances of CoE3 (one instance of server, the other as client).
