I didnt come from supcom but i own the original supcom but got so bored with the game that i havent played an online game for over half a year :p

[quote]one of the most lamest threads on these forums. gratz to the op.[/quote] One of the lamest post on these forums. gratz to you.. Sorry, but bassing someone for having a problem isnt nice in my book :) The forums isnt perfect thats true and it can take awhile at times to post or enter a thread, but trust me its alot better then it used to be :D Its not a user problem, but a server problem that cant handle it all. So nothing a user can do but hope Stardock will

The server will be down for most of today and tomorrow because of some updates to the system

Its running again, had some bsod's and forgot to turn on after restart :p

Well id suggest getting some faster ram instead of quantity. get 2 gig of PC 6400 instead :) make sure the motherboard can support them G Force 9600 GT OC - you get more for the money when considering the performance per dollar but it is slower then the 8800 GT. heres a great [link="http://www.guru3d.com/article/content/501/1"]guru3d.com article[/link] that does a huge test of the 9600 GT vs other cards like the 8800 GT

The server is back online :D

The 7 € i could live with. but a 100% tax is insane. Gotta call the post office and such on monday since this is just robbery

is it bad that i brought 50.000 units :d

[quote]That is whery stange... I'm also in denmark and brougt Download + Retail Box and I dont have to pay enny thing ad the postoffice. must be a mistake... I just got the box today. about an hour ago...Edit: I paid Order Total: $69.95 USD[/quote] thats very weird... hmm maybe i should call the post office and tax area in denmark to hear more about this. $45 in taxes is quiet alot

[quote]Could be a Danish only thing maybe? I know they woldn't be allowed to apply it to EU countries but there'd be no law on them applying it to the US.Also I've bought games only as downloads from the US, anything physical has been clothes and the like. So maybe I'm just getting away with it due to clothes being classed as "essentials" and CDs etc as Luxary items?[/quote] Reading further into this and as far as i can understand some countries in the EU does not pay the tax.

[quote]Multi! Where've you been hiding? Sucks about the big tax But I don't think it's in SD's hands, probably Denmark's customs tax or something[/quote] Ive been around, just havent been in the mood to post :) Yeah i know Stardock have nothing to do with this. Its a stupid EU law :(

i havent payed the $45 tax yet, so the package is still at the post office. On the paper i got says toldopkrævning which translate to "duty/tariff/customs duty" which is a percentage tax of what its worth + delivery + told + moms(25%) on anything brought outside the EU. According to the [link="http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Told"]danish wiki[/link] all have to pay the tax when buying outside the EU. So how jonfon was able to avoid it, i dunno.

[quote]Why not order the European release? If you live in Europe that is. play.com has some REALLY nice deals and for a low price too. If you ordered it from here (if thats possible). Isn't it shipped from USA? Then the tax would maybe get that expensieve[/quote] I ordered a year ago when beta 1 was released. Also $45 EU tax has nothing to do with shipping, its a tax that gets on everything you buy from outside the EU

So i got my copy today, and i ordered the " Download + Retail Box" back in beta 1. For some reason the EU wants to tax me 225 danish kroner ($45) so the game have cost me atleast $90 lol Just want to let others living in the EU know so they dont get as surprised as i was :(

[quote]would you rather i had researched enforcers and then not built a fleet? enforcers dont automatically equal win, it is plain if you watch the replay that my teching to build enforcers cost me time, logistics slots, and a LOT of metal and crystal.[/quote] Im not saying what you can and cannot build, but i just find it "funny" after i told you about the imbalance i believe is there, and the next replay i see, you use it. But yes you didnt do it 100% right, but that does not make it l

im also on IRC, so if you encounter this bot again, tupe "teamspeak help" so i get a warning sound, no matter what im doing, so i can be there asap :)
