Please note that there is currently a problem that makes it impossible to register the X3 Terran War Pack+ with a Steam account that already has the X-games assigned to. Right now, the only solution is to set up a second Steam account and register the X3 Terran War Pack+ with that. We do not like this situation either and are currently trying to find a way around it. - X2-Illuminatus

Thank you cared about my report.
but i request remove that.

zoo, the japanese publisher.
seem to they remove that limitation.
I was able to use it in the steam without make new account. The other day.
however, they don't comment that changes...
(about limitation, said that from their support desk in first ...)

Anyway, no longer needed make another steam account.
thank you.

Better late (and finished) than released in a mess and the fanbase is left waiting on patch after patch to get it right.
The endgame: I hope that it takes a long time to achieve as it makes the feeling of accomplishment much more intense. But then still have multiple venues to undertake after "the end". I personally would like to see several various game endings.
I thought at this time last year that I would be playing Rebirth by now; but my guess is that we'll see that 1st qtr 2013 update to X3AP before Rebirth is released.
Well thanks for the news and Merry Christmas.

The one comment which stood out was the one about eradicating one of the other races

I am glad to hear that Egosoft is delaying release.

Too many games get seriously compromised in gameplay and financial success by the 'suits' pushing them out too early. A failed launch due to bugs seriosly compromises a games financial success.

The X games do not need to take cognisance of market seasonality; they are a breed unto themselves imo and should never sell out to market-think morons. keep the suits and their spreadsheets out of the development process.

Merry Christmass to all in Egosoft and the folks here on the forums.

Yeah I found that one interesting also. It makes me wonder; how will ship spawning will handled in X:R?

True, even though the release date will be later it's worth it for a quality product.

i woulda thought i see most posts relating this topic, only 11 posts? weird.

I'm so glad to hear that the release has been put back, I really am.
I also love everything I'm hearing in this edition, and the answers have put the last of my worries to rest.

After reading it I'm actually most excited now about something I hadn't really thought about, sound. It's just as important as visuals, and with Alexei Zakharov behind it I'm sure it's going to be something really special.

Can't wait!

I hope the wait will not make me expect even a better product than expected before...as what they did with Star Trek Online!

@facetious1

Well, after the time that Egosoft has taken I think it's a safe bet to expect that X:R won't be constantly crashing or throwing some sort of major game-breaking bug tantrum.
