Hmm. Strange question. Will there be a CD coming out?
« on: November 26, 2009, 09:52:16 PM »

 Guy on COH/RELIC in-game chat said a CD for sale was
 coming out for soviet EF mod... I was, like... WTF?.

 Understand it's a spin-off mod, and thus can't be sold for
 profit. But apparently some people are eager and willing to
 pay for it. Idea's not so bad, for people who want a hardcopy,  although I figured, instead, download, slap
on a blank DVD, and make a donation to the DEVs, no?

 Anyhow, what's this about a hardcopy DVD you guys are
 selling out?

 
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

I think somebody (a Dev, probably Will) said they'd be willing to ship CD's/DVD's at a price. I can't find the post anywhere though so don't go treating it as hard-fact just yet :P

That would be a very good idea to make a cd copy available.

A man by the name of "William" tolled me that there MAY be a CD release after it is released

 I'm okay with making DVD copies available for people in my
 area, if they make a request of it. Damn things don't cost
 much. Although, got awesome flash drive, too :)

 I'd be happy helping in any way that I can getting this
 spread and around.

a patch through relic would be the best way to "spread it around"

 I exceedingly agree :)
 How do DEVs feel about this, though? ;)

Agree to the spreading it around. And ford or devs, is that a possibility of an official Relic patch with the mod?

Ideally I'd like to see everyone playing EF. Finally an allied faction to stand up to the OP Germans!

 OP germans :) A lot of wehr players feel it is the allies
 who are OP, yknow :) // As for the Ostheer, same thing as
 Soviets, really. They fit nicely into the other, as LONG as
 they're filled with 'other races'. Otherwise, er, what's the
 whole point of ANOTHER german faction, again?
 Which will need panthers, Tigers... erm... Pak88...

 I'm sure people don't want to see 4 'british' factions, hm?

There will never be a Relic Patch including any mod (just my guess) and I don't think that we're allowed to sell CDs anyways -- but nothing stops you from producing thousands of DVDs and giving them away. I guess that it would be no problem if one sold them for like 0.25$, just as if you bought a DVD.

Yeah, thats what I meant... the price would cover the DVD and shipping costs, but the mod would still essentially be free. Theres nothing wrong with that I don't think...

 - Yea, DVD/shipping costs are ok. Selling the mod itself is
 not.
 - Relic would NEVER indulge in mod? Er, never yet doesn't mean
 never in future. If it's well done, why the heck not? Maybe
 lock it out of automatch, etc, but for squirmishes etc, why
 not? Even classic match. Trick is to make it quality AND meshing well with current workings (ie: Vanilla).
 - I'll be HAPPY to pimp out CDs of it to friends and other local
 people. Spread the word, as it may. Already to it aplenty in
 in-game chat rooms :) Twice a day, minimum :)
 - Bastex : 150 british pounds for your EF beta, uh? ;)
 Yea, Apex would get on your ass so fast... don't chance it
 man. Besides, be honest with yourself... is it worth the 150
 to you? Knowing you could no longer play Soviet tanks?
 
 Eh, pity is, a lot of my friends would LOVE to pay for it
 if it's well done. To get the box cover art and CD.
