So far I haven't seen a mod give any explanation other than "potential" copyright issues. Can we get some details on this? Did Hasbro actually say anything, or is this a preventive measure? If Hasbro complained, how so? C&D? Actual lawsuit? Did they "suggest" that you guys should keep quiet about their involvement? Have there been any actual agreements made? How much time do we have left until they shut down the site?
You're gonna have to spill all this stuff eventually; rumors will fly until you do.
Ridiculous

I mean, lack and twill are having their Canadian Thanksgiving....they couldn't have made such a huge change to be permanent?
maybe it's Canadian April Fools Day.....?

Please make an announcement of what is happening, if you have had time to change the maps and the wording and sit and constantly delete threads have the decency to inform your paying members of why how and what the next step is.

so many heated tempers, ITS TEMPORARY noone really needs to get so angry claiming 'im not renewing' and what not, they had to change the map, the dice, the words just to be safe, would you perfer they made a stand and get the site closed down? hellz no, they will find out whats fine and whats bad, maybe some words will revert or get better, the dice will morph im sure to something more flashy, and the maps WILL BE REDONE im possitive of that, so calm down and wait it out

We can all guess who might be behind it all (other than Hasbro):
#
The Classic map, the Centerscape map, the instructions and our lingo have changed. This had to be done to avoid any potential copyright issues. Please continue enjoying Conquer Club!

a) Cut a deal with Hasbro and let them in on the money, and in return they forget about any copyright issues. I guess, many players would be ready to pay a few bucks more for their premium, if that kind of arrangement could be reached.
b) Do that contest thingy and develop new maps with the exact same game-play (territories, borders, attack-ways, bonuses) as the old Classic & Middle Earth, but with new graphics and names.
Cheers.
I second the Classic Map Contest. I wouldn't mind lending a hand in that. At least then most of us would be happy with whatever replacement comes about.
And, note, I said
most not all of us.

The map looks absolutely terrible.
Oh, and when did Hasbro copyright 'pictures of dice'?
Also, I'm fairly certain that I read a post by a mod/admin/something where he made it clear that CC had good relations with Hasbro, and that they saw CC as sort of complementary.
Terrible, terrible change. It's certainly the last time I play the classic map.

So, so sad.
You will have to return all the goods bought at the shop which picture the Classic map (or any derivative) or face legal consequences. It's a pity though, I really liked the Classic coffee mug.
What does everyone think about the new Classic map?

You should have known the players wouldn't be appeased with a simple 'here's the new map gang - sorry, but get used to it'.
A change this big deserves a full and proper explanation.
Anyhow, you say it's only temporary and I'm sure with a bit of work, the map makers will quickly come up with something we can all accept... eventually.
I saw some good advice on this site somewhere - something like.....'think before you post', or words to that effect - maybe you didn't read it
Very well said! I agree. In the little time I've spent in the CC forums I've noticed it as well.. lol

live chat is fun, every two seconds:
"wheres middle earth"
"Wheres classic"
how about a script that reverts that thing back to classic

could a script be made to cover up that abomination of a classic map and restore it to something that looks remotely like our planet?

AND I SHIT ON IT.
I REFUSE TO START NEW GAMES ON THIS BS-MAP. WTF IS THIS?? MAP LOOKS LIKE CREATED IN 2381 BC.
LACKATTACK IS JUST AFRAID. MAN, SHOW YOUR BALLS. THERE ARE MORE THEN 300.000 REGISTERED USERS. I THINK IT WON'T INCREASE ANYMORE. WTH WILL SOMEONE THINK ABOUT CC WHEN THEY SEE THE "NEW CLASSIC MAP" ON CC-HOMEPAGE. THEY WILL THINK WE ARE A BUNCH OF RETARDED ASS-PLAYERS????
GREETZ,

I'm not sure how it works in Canada, but in the USA, litigation is a matter of the public record. I'm sure some of our more industrious investigative "reporters" in the CC community could find the court documents.
A quick WestLaw search might yield results, if anyone here has access.
