There's been a lot of activity on the changes we made yesterday. A lot of upset people (myself included) and a lot of questions. Let me do my best to address those concerns from what I know:
1) The maps are fugly. Yes, we know they are. I personally agree with you all on that point, but we had to change them to avoid potential copyright issues. Andydufresne, and Oaktown along with at least one or two users have already begun work on a revamp contest to find someone to come up with something better. We're hoping it goes up soon so we can get back to something more playable.
2) <so and so> must DIE! - no, they must not. Please do not attempt to arrange any sort of lynch mobs, class action law suits, consumer boycots or intestinal stranglings. These will accomplish nothing other than to piss off more people which wont solve anything for anyone, and trying to strangle someone may just make things worse - we don't want murder on our handsPlease let us handle any issues that are related to this.
3) Communication SUCKS, I'm leaving, you blow, how dare you, I want a refund - these are all fair criticisms and we are truly sorry that this panned out the way it did but again, it was something we did to avoid potential issues. All I ask is that if you have a specific complaint or suggestion please try to contact me. My inbox it flooding right now, but I will try to get to all of your concerns and address them as best as I can as soon as I can.
4) To those of you who have sent us best wishes, thank you. I wish I could thank you all personally because they mean a lot to us. I can only hope that these changes aren't too onerous and that we can continue to offer you a great game and an enjoyable site.
I know that this doesn't fix everything, but we are going to be taking steps to make things less ugly and messy. This thread is moving fairly quickly so please quote this message once every couple of pages so that future readers can keep up to date. I'm trying to read all the posts and am PMing several people to address their concerns at a pace it can be followed, but there are a lot to get through
Hang in there folks, pretty maps are hopefully coming

They took the map down, you're going to have to play on the current one until a new 'Classic' is made. hang tight, our Foundry elves are hard workers, they'll have something amazing, given a bit of time

Your optimism is so unbelievably endearing that I can hardly stand it...

At least that's what I've seen in the one month I've been here.

Before joining this site, I had never played a game of Risk.
This past weekend, I played the computer game version of Risk released by Hasbro with my nephew. If it wasn't for CC, the topic of Risk never would have come up and we would not have played their game. This may have sparked more of an interest in my nephew (even though I kicked his ass!!) and might have a ripple effect in his circle of friends.
I am considering buying the board game version of Risk because I like the game and think it would be fun to play with friends and family in real life.
I have no idea if it would help, but I would certainly put my name on a petition to Hasbro letting them know that CC has, in my case, actually increased my interest in their game.
Maybe CC should offer to sell the board game version of Risk on the CC Web site. This might sound far fetched, but there are thousands of potential buyers here...
Even if Hasbro has the resources to bring CC to court, I don't think they could provide any evidence that CC has damaged them in any way. I am not educated in law, but to get money from CC, wouldn't Hasbro have to show a monetary loss?
I think CC has probably helped the popularity of Risk - not just in my case, but in almost every case. What could Hasbro gain in bring CC to court? I think they would hurt themselves by hurting CC.

Your also kidding yourself if you think you Hasbro couldnt hurt CC in someway. Whats happened recently is panic stations by CC. You don change your most popular map over night for no reason.
I think hasbro may soon launch its own site, much similar to CC. An ex cc'er told me around 4 months ago that he was working with hasbro in doing just that, not sure if thats part of teh reason!
