The supply of free keys has been replenished and users should be able to start Gore again without getting the "Enter Key" screen.

Due to sudden unexpected technical difficulties at GameSpy we had been unable to get our supply refilled in time before running out of free keys.

.

.

The supply of keys for free users which are obtained by the game client when you first start playing Gore had ran out much faster than expected, causing new players to keep getting the "Enter Key" page when starting up Gore.

We hope to this problem fixed sometime later today.

The beta is now over and a public version of the installer is now available.

To those who are new to Gore, it is completely free, and has all the features of the original retail release known as "Gore Ultimate Soldier", and has all the features and content of the original retail release, plus new levels, weapons and much more.

Optionally, players can purchase a premium key and gain additonal bonus features to the game, which you can read more about here.

To the loyal beta players we thank them for their time, effort and patience with the process. Beta players will *not* need to download this installer. When you launch Gore it will update your beta copy to the installer version just as it did with all the beta updates.

The changelist for this version can be viewed here.

To download the Gore installer, please go here.

From now until the new year you can receive a download link and free standard key for the Gore beta if you post in the giveaway thread in the 4D Rulers forums. If you are not a forum member, it is fast and free to join. Just remember to check your email for the forum activation link when you sign up.

To update to the newest version, start Gore and it will download and install the patch on its own. The patch fixes many of the various level bugs, as well as missing texture errors reported so far. GameSpy certifications were also added to the game.

Gore beta testing has begun! Testing is now open for users who pre-purchase a premium key. This will allow players to connect to Gore servers as well as run their own test servers.

This period of testing will be for finding and fixing any obvious critical bugs that may exist in the game. At a later date once that class of bugs are taken care of we will announce further plans for testing and the eventual worldwide free release of Gore.

For more information check out the Order Premium Key button in the menu.

New screens released today showing game play from the upcoming free re-release of Gore - Ultimate Soldier. The screen shots show a sneak peak of the new map in the works by the name of "Metal Muse", during a play testing session of a three person Deathmatch game.

Our hope is to have downloadable beta test of the re-release available for download to current Gore players as soon as it is ready for testing. Keep checking here for news and we'll let everyone know when new information surfaces.

Name Tags In The Free Ad Supported Version of Gore
Want to see your name in Gore when you are fragging away? Want to be known in the Gore community forever, and immortalized in the game? Well then, this is your chance. We're going to release Gore for free pretty soon, with ads in it to earn us revenue, and while we're rebuilding it for this new release, you can send me your screen name or forum name, whatever you want for a small fee, and I'll put your name in the game somewhere, like we did for Patriots.

For 19.99 you can have a large graffiti tag, like we did in Brooklyn for all the developers. I am "Madmole" placed in the back alley of Brooklyn Brawl:

http://www.4drulers.com/images/gore/gore_tag.jpg

We will hold exclusive rights to place your name where we choose and in what level, and will design your name as we see fit graphically, so that it matches the games style and look, but we'll make sure it's not hard to find and gets some good visibility.

For 49.99 we'll post your avatar or picture somewhere in the game, like on a newspaper laying on the street or as a missing poster on the wall somewhere, etc. It will be our discretion where and how to use your avatar but we'll make sure it's visible and consider your request as to where you want it (like what level). All avatars must be original uncopyrighted pictures that are yours, and be approved by us.

To order your name tag, send me the money via paypal to: ordering@4drulers.com and give us your screen name that you would like us to use, and send a picture of your avatar if you want the 49.99 package.

To pay with a check, send to:
4D Rulers Software
PO Box 224

Make sure to specify which product you want and your return address and email.

Thank you for your business and support!
