They said early August so why doubt it?

SerapisIV · August 2, 2001, 19:41

I'd give even odds its up by the weekend.

Sabre2th · August 2, 2001, 20:03

My guess is that the site will be up by next Tuesday. MAYBE tomorrow (Friday), but I don't think that's likely.

6 PC that it's 14th August. Because that's when the schools start at Finland and I can't get to check out it first thing in the morning

Provost Harrison · August 2, 2001, 20:42

So I suppose all we can do is wait and keep checking from time to time. It will be interesting to see what information it has, provided it isn't hit by that virus

O.K. so we already knew that it was going to be early August, so Dan telling us soon really just is repeating the standard line.

Diablo, Bro. of Mephisto · August 2, 2001, 23:25

I'd guess by next Saturday (August 11) that the site will be up.

Alex 14 · August 3, 2001, 03:04

Thats not really early Augest, it's more like mid, by the end of next week is my guess.

Dan was running a Trade Wars game for us Apolytoners, on the Firaxis server. About the end of June he had to abandon the game cause all his time was needed to work on the Civ3 site.

BTW, I tried the site today and got a new response from my browser; "You are not authorized to view this page." That means there is something there, but you can't get in. Maybe they are testing the site to see how much traffic it can handle(cause you know two minutes after one of us get in, they will post and all our browsers will be heading to civ3.com).

AFAIK, up by Monday.

Solver · August 3, 2001, 08:07

By monday. BTW, if you go to www.civ3.com and look at the source, you can figure something out.

LaRusso · August 3, 2001, 08:16

well, i just might in about a thousand years

Solver · August 3, 2001, 08:19

But interesting protection methods are used for it.

I know HTML, though I'm no expert, but I didn't figure anything out.

Cmon, Provost of the University, enlighten us

Solver · August 3, 2001, 08:28

Look at the JavaScript. You need to enter to correct URL, you spy of the Anti-University

Urban Ranger · August 3, 2001, 11:16

Ah, see how we are so desperate for information we comb for it everywhere.

Kropotkin · August 3, 2001, 11:26

As a somewhat philosophical note, the meaning of the word 'Soon' haven't changed much with the so called internet-revolution. 'Soon' at most websites often has the same implications as the word had in medieval times...

BackdoorMan · August 3, 2001, 16:56

There is nothing in that code. That JavaScript merely outputs the name of the domain you are trying to access ie the link towards the bottom of the page that says www.civ3.com. Try it out, drop that code onto your website and see what it does, it will output your domain name. I'm sure Firaxis has much more sophisticated, server side security measures than some JavaScript that anyone can see.
