It is truly aweful.. as there was litigation going on i truly hope that someone has been working on something more than what is replacing Classic at present. It is not acceptable at all.
Okidoki, with whom do youguys have copyright problems? im going to their website and tell them how... not nice they are and how few products im going to buy from them in the rest of my life. Is it Hasbro?
PS: if this is an early April 1st joke, F off. this isnt funny
Suck it up. At least you can still play. Also, if this was done quickly do you REALLY expect something beautiful to have been made? Give it time and I'm sure they'll replace it with something better.
These changes are an absolute turn-off! I am going to cancel my wait for my Middle-Earth map this instant! Also, if things are to stay, I aint playing classic map again on this site...
my eyes hurt! wtf just happened!!??!?!?! mid turn, as well.
I wonder if it is possible / if someone can create a greasemonkey script that replaces this horrid peace of shit (hope i'm not offending the creator) for the original/previous one
First time to the forums here, but I felt this was a good enough situation. I have to say that the changes to the classic map and the "centerscape" (read: middle earth) map are entirely ridiculous. I'm sure some much more minor changes could be made to the classic map since it's technically only a Napoleonic map of the world, last time I checked no one had copyrighted the Napoleonic map of the world.
The middle earth map wasn't even an exact representation of middle earth to begin with, nor did it closely resemble Hasbro's LOTR risk very closely either, so i could see maybe changing names on that map for copyright purposes but by no means reducing it to that.
Over all my greatest disappointment is with classic map. It already graphically was different that the Risk boards I've ever seen, I'm sure it could've been only minorly changed to avoid real problems.
hmmm, all the posts just went bye bye...no, it wasn't intentional and I do apologize for that, our server still hasn't recovered from friday apparently.
Retired. Please don't PM me about forum stuff any more.
