Elemental: War of Magic Interview

Stardock's Facebook page is pointing to a new Q&A with Brad Wardell on Big Download, during which the CEO addresses questions about Elemental: War of Magic, the hiring of Jon Shafer, their future projects, and more.
In a forum post you said you have now approved a budget to continue development of Elemental for the next two years. What can you tell us about what players of the game can expect in both the near and far future?

The main things to expect from Elemental will be two very large expansions. While many gamers have seen tremendous progress in v1.1 and v1.11 of Elemental: War of Magic, it's going to take a significant new launch with some major enhancements to win players back and put the game back on track to being counted along side classic fantasy strategy games like Master of Magic and Age of Wonders. I'm also glad that everyone who bought Elemental last year will get that expansion pack for free. Our customers won't have to feel like they had to "pay extra" to get the game they expected to get in the first place.
