I live in Australia and unfortunately use Bigpond as my ISP. They offer a game subscription service, and now I can see a positive side to this.
Imagine if in the future game developers were to recieve only income for their games that were hosted through these subscribers, the bugs would be fixed in an instant or the title wouldn't make any money because the subscriber would drop it.
Anyhow here is hoping that 1.4 patch activates the spells, skills and heraldries that are not yet working. Also hoping that this patch is going to coincide with that UK release, but we'll see, I don't think I'd maintain interest in this game if it were to take longer than that.
