Anything that keeps Mark H. Walker off the forums and away from any customer interaction is a good thing.

Does Mark have some sort of bad rep that I'm unaware of?

I don't even think I've ever seen him post anywhere.

he posts on CSW and FB all the time.  he occasionally posts on WGer or BGG, but very rarely, and not on WGer in 3-4 years.

Yeah, I don't tend to go anywhere near the byzantine labyrinth that is CSW.  :D

Send them an email. I've always had good response from them. Make sure you have your order number.
Just to be sure send it to both sales and orders @ LnLpublishing.com.

The game still shows as p500 at http://www.locknloadgame.com/Section_Cat_Content_Detail.asp?SCAT=82&SID=33&ID=141.

I sent them an email already but I can't be the only person who paid in full back when the game was being hyped. You'd think there would be some kind of update at the L&L website.
