First Two Elemental Expansion Packs Free if You Buy Before October 31
by Alice O'Connor, Oct 27, 2010 6:20am PDTStill seeking to make amends for Elemental: War of Magic's "disastrous launch," developer Stardock has announced that everyone who buys the PC fantasy strategy title before October 31 will receive its first two expansion packs for free.
Earlier this month, Stardock revealed that work on the first expansion pack would begin after it launches Elemental patch 1.1--an update that will be available in beta form to all players in "early November." Back then, Stardock had only revealed plans for the first expansion to be released free. The expansion will also be when veteran modder Derek 'Kael' Paxton will take over from the former lead designer, Stardock CEO Brad Wardell.
There's still no solid word on what the first expansion pack will bring, let alone the second, but Stardock has previously spoken of new quests, factions and the like. Stardock vows that as well as developing expansions, it "has committed to providing significant amounts of free post-release content and updates well into the future."

Worth the money, or no? I got burned by Civ 5... will this heal my wounds, or pour salt in them?
Civ 5 suffered from super hype... this game, I have no expectations going in.

I don't feel that its beyond repair especially with the influx of new content coming.
Remember, new content doesn't necessarily mean simply adding on top of whatever is there, it could also mean, they will spend considerable time and effort fixing and adding that special "magic" that makes it fun.
Without that quality I am afraid that as much as folks may like or dislike, the game will wither on the vine.
How will they check if I bought it before 31 October?

i lose nothing by waiting 6 months or a year (or more). odds are at that point id be able to buy the game and any expansions together for less than the base game costs today... and if the game is still crap, i can save myself the money entirely. truth is, im not sure what kind of promotion WOULD be good enough to make "buying a shit game now for $50" seem better than waiting.

Magic is pointless and useless, the "quests", are the same 4 go here, then go here bs. Researching adventure techs just makes more powerful monsters appear on the map and rape you. Unit building is reduced to cram more guys into a unit, steam roll enemy.
