I played the trial of Warband and thought it OK (I hope the custom battles improve in the full version and the horrible green texture problems!) and so I put my activation serial number in only to discover (when it was denied) that Warband is considered an "independent game".

I think this is a little deceptive in my opinion. Warband is the same game as Mount&Blade (to which we were promised lifetime upgrades). Just because a new version has a few extra features and is a named version, does not mean it is a new game. This is certainly not the convention in other games, is it? Adding MP and a few other tweaks is not a new game.

Does anyone know if the "old" game will continue to be upgraded?

Actually, it's a convention in other games yes. Ever head of Civ 3lay the World? How about all 83 Sims expansions they've released? Those are new games. Actually, to be honest, Warband has more features than the average stand alone expansion pack. Why people can't understand that this is a new game is beyond me. Maybe M&B is played by geezers who haven't bought a game since Darklands. I'm not sure. The only problem I have with it is that they call it a sequel when it surely isn't. Also saying it added "a few extra features" seems intentionally misleading to me.

EDIT: Complaining about the value of M&B seems absurd to me. What other games allowed you to buy them for $20 in beta and then receive updates for many years and eventually a full version? Please....

perhaps they scammed us for money and then they shut down the entire game

...is height and width  yes please! We need 2 metre guys 1.50 m guys, fatsos, skinny ones and any possible combination. Even the best armies aren't made of identical units in height and width (and weight too). Yes weight should be a factor too determining strenght, speed  Just a dream for M&B2 maybe

It's probably way too early to talk about another expansion, anyway, what would you want in the next expansion (Or MB2?).

I hope the next expansion adds: A Japanese-Chinese-style faction on an island that is actually populated by Japanese/Chinese looking people instead of white people, boats, naval combat, better terrain graphics, a lot more/better quests, more companions, multiplayer navel battles, a bigger map, bigger multiplayer battles, more armor/weapons, better sound, more food items, more buildings for towns/villages/castles, more things to do with your own player-faction.

I'll add a much more detailed explanation of the new faction idea later.

What I think is really needed in some personal space in a fight. When in a battle like siege people are all rubbing their noses against each other and no one can swing their weapons. Have troop AI tell them to stay a good foot away from each other during fights.

The more people that buy the game the better chance for the bugs to be fixed.

These guys are a hella small developer and this game is amazing.

They don't have the finanical resources of an EA.

Support them by getting a copy of the game asap.

Probably because others beat them to it. I mean, the forum's full of bug reports and things that ought to be changed, aye?

I didn't say it WAS a job. I said it sounded similar to. And getting a discount != getting paid.

You're getting awful soap-boxy about this, RockerJesse.

I know I am, right now I feel like punching a baby.  The reason I am pissed is because I hate how lazy the world is becoming where a gaming comunity won't cough up a mere 25$ for a game that took 6 months of development which is a complete revamp to the original game.  They sound like freeloaders and the community would do well without them.
