Dear Stardock Customer,



If you're receiving this email it means you purchased Elemental: War of Magic before November 1, 2010.



Elemental: War of Magic was a game we had very high hopes for. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment both to us, as well as to many of our customers. Stardock's success in its nineteen years of existence has been because people know when they buy something with our name on it, it'll be excellent. With Elemental: War of Magic, we failed that expectation.



For the past year, Stardock has been working on something new -- Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. We went back to the drawing board to create not an expansion, but rather a new game in the Elemental universe.



Fallen Enchantress is currently in beta. The beta has already been added to your Stardock account and the final version will automatically be added free of charge on the day of release.



To access the beta, visit: download.stardock.com.



We hope you find Elemental: Fallen Enchantress to be a game that lives up to the expectations you had for War of Magic. We thank you for your support and we look forward to your feedback.



Sincerely,

Brad Wardell - President & CEO

Stardock Entertainment

It takes a lot of courage to go out into the world, suck it up, and apologize. Stardock has admitted a number of times that it dropped the ball with Elemental: War of Magic, and to make up for it to their fans -- especially those who took a chance on the game when it was first released (like myself) -- beta invites have started to go out today for Elemental: Fallen Enchantress . Here's the email I personally received this morning:One of the notable things to take away from this is that those who picked up Elemental when it was first released will get Fallen Enchantresslater this year. It's one thing for a developer to admit their shortcomings, but to ask their fans for a second chance in this fashion is a classy move in my opinion. Here's to hoping they nail it the second time around.
