Totem Tribe 2 will be released earlier but with limited features.

Berserker....I understand the piracy problem. Will this work like the Wild tagent games where the icon loads on your computer and you just click on it and keep playing where you left off? I did enjoy playing at the hospital or while at the farm when there was no connection but if the only way to play is to connect I will play when I can connect. I will be glad when it is released. I am sure TT2 will be a wonderful game

Hey Berserker, just signed up to offer you some support! I was planning to pay for TT2 anyway...because I want to see TT3! But I completely understand the problem with pirating. Anyway, as long as I can still play single player and I don't need super internet I think having the game saved on your servers can only make it more convenient! Oh and I can't wait to see female hero generator options - keep up the great work!

Hi Totem Tribe team, Just wanted to say that I am looking forward to the next Totem Tribe game. I really don't mind if it's on- or offline as long as I can play it. Keep up the good work and I am sure that you will make a supergame. Best regards Marjan from Holland

Berserker....I think maybe there is a total misunderstanding of the online gaming platform by some of the posters. But if a person does not purchase a game they play out right, then they are playing online. HP games, Wild tagent games, MSN games they are all on line. TT and TTgold were my first venture into games and I came to your site to purchase them because I was afraid of Piracy. I personally look forward to an ever changing game that the developers can change and upgrade. I think people who are real fans of TT given the chance to try the new platform will find that they do like it. Hoping all have a beautiful day and wonderful night.

I too am amongst the disappointed! when buying a game, I consider it to be mine to play on my terms, ie: not being forced to be on net, or relying on updates, I have enough that updates on my PC now! also have my fav games on a 2nd Pc, or laptop that never gets connected to internet, so there are lots of different reasons, The pirate/hacker arguement over emphasized! let`s face it, EVERYONE is at some sort of risk...from the home pc user (just surfing, banking, email, buying, d/loading etc) to small, medium or big music, graphic, game, and retail companies, if these pirates/hackers want it bad enough, they`ll get it! Just recently Steam was badly compromised...online gaming, all similar setups, which btw my hubby hates! and he buys $100+ games, but has ditched quite a few already, can`t stand the interrupting updates, and problems too, when it`s slow or not able to connect, or just recently not being able to play your chosen game at all! it`s not always our PC`s that are at fault! After a lot of research...the majority of casual games are played by the "mature" audience who don`t like "Online" Just because you lost on the 1st TT, doesn`t mean you`ll lose on this one, the gaming world has come a long way in 3 yrs (since TT) a long time in PC world. Many smaller game developers have success with having access to all the big companies (that have millions of followers) to advertise and source their games, BFG with their CE editions come to mind. Anyway, only my opinion, and I do respect yours, and wish you much success, you do great work! I can only wish this will be a huge hit, then you might make enough profit to be able to give us a "proper" TT3! BIG thank you for many enjoyable hrs of gameplay from your previous games, take care :)

This sounds like a good idea

*sigh* One more game going into the gutter... I don't like the idea of the online-only experience. I've suffered enough with Steam already... And even Steam can be used offline!! And the sad part is: Enkord THINKS going online will help against piracy. Thats... naive! Specially considering that the game WILL retain offline-like gameplay! If going online helped against piracy, those games released on Steam wouldn't be pirated in a day or so after being released. Piracy is a bitch, but things like going online to TRY to avoid it means that the legit players will be the only ones to be punished by piracy! Using strong methods of anti-piracy systems could reduce piracy without punishing the players. Heck, not even MMORPGs are free from piracy! War against piracy is a war you can't win, unfortunatelly. If you THINK things will be different by going online, you'll be HIGLY disapointed. Being a software developer is a bitch, and sometimes not worth it, I'm afraid. But hey! MANY small developers are still standing, even with piracy! Maybe if Ekord learns how to do propper marketing, and better tech support, you wouldn't suffer so much from piracy! Lastly, a game that REQUIRES conection to a server means nobody will really own the game, but you. I mean, lets imagine this: I buy this game. I play it, and love it. Then, all of a sudden, Enkord kicks the bucket and closes the server. Now I WON'T be able to play a game that I actually bought?!? And considering that many sites are spreading the "the only people who won't like this are pirates" as one of the stupidiest things any game developer could ever say, I don't think TB2 will sell very well, making it easier for erkord to close its server soon after people buy the game. In other words, there's a chance that the buyers just give away money to an arrogant developer! It should at least be like Steam, where you HAVE to conect to download and update the game (and also check if you have a legit copy, of course), but you DO have the option to go offline if you want (and use Steam without having to be conected).

Based on the fact that you deleted my last post, I'll assume that I've hit a soft spot. Fine. But you DO understand my concern, right? We have to trust someone before giving away our money. My main concern is this. How can we know that we won't pay for a game that will be taken out days or months later?!?

"Games are fun and enjoyable experience in the first place, and tangible good way later." This is YOUR opinion, NOT a fact! Many people are proud owners of older games and still play them today. Fun games are fun experiences even 10, 15 years later.

"You concern about not be able to play since we decide to shut down server is a bit paranoid to be honest. " Paranoid? You guys aren't giving us a chance to trust you! You guys may as well be a buch of thieves, how would we know otherwise? Hell, you jump to the conclusion that everyone who doesn't like this new idea is a pirate, and expect us to just trust you guys? So my concern is paranoid, huh? But look at you! Enkord is a small company, with sub-par tech support, that created a game that, while fantastic, was unstable on many computers! And you are a developer (or coder, who knows) that said numerous times that TT1 almost made you financially broke. The fact is: Enkord doesn't give us a reason to trust you! Anyway, if NOT trusting you guys makes me paranoid, so yeah, I'm paranoid. Please, understand that I AM actually interested in buying your game, but this online-only things almost killed it for me, specially because I don't want to pay a game that I can't own. Believe-me: if TT wasn't important for me, I wouldn't be here complaining. I wouldn't care less! But TT1 was a great game, that I AM happy to OWN and play ANY TIME I WANT. I'm a game collector, I have more than 10.000 games that I'm HAPPY to still own and be able to play them. It hurts knowing that I won't be able to have TT2 for as long as I want! "You don't want to own unentertaining games, and that means that fun experience is way more important. That's what we focus on. We want to create enjoyable experience and get paid fairly for it." Yeah, get paid for a great work is nice! But look at the player's side: we are gonna pay for an incomplete game that MAY OR MAY NOT get better in the long run, and we wouldn't really OWN the game. Its more like a rental, really.

ok, going back to the tt2 site and try to get into the alpha testing server...been trying for hours!! PLUS I HATE THIS DOGGONE PASSWORD
