Want to buy the game, a couple of questions

Kingwood · #1 February 26th, 2008, 03:00 PM

Hi,

I want to buy the game from http://www.linux-onlineshop.de/produ...awakening.html, since I do not own a credit card. Is this an authorized seller? I see a lot of threads about people buying pirate copies, so I want to make sure.

I use a Mac, with a Bootcamp partition. Are the Mac and Windows versions on the same disc as the Linux one? I am asking since this is a Linux shop.

Tia!

There are no different versions of the cd.

I don't have the answers to your questions but wanted to give you a heads up. The 54 bucks ends up being about $0.02 an hour.

My $0.02 worth,

Thanks, but I'll need an answer to the first question, if anyone is in the know. I don't want to waste 54�, since I am mainly interested in multiplayer.

I'd ask Shrapnel (click Support tab at left) if that site is a real vendor or not.

The disk is one disk with all versions on it.

Meh, that requires me to register another account. I try to avoid spreading registered accounts as much as possible. Noone from Shrapnel reads these forums?

It's a sensible policy you have with regard to registering for accounts, but Shrapnel is pretty harmless so I would just go ahead and do it if you're concerned. Generally they reply very quickly I believe.

That site looks reasonably trustworthy to me though. Pirates rarely get such good setups - most pirate copies seem to be sold via eBay, second hand shops and so on.

I'll give it a day to see if one of the Shrapnel guys reads this, then I'll have to register there, I guess. Problem is I will probably never ever go there again, so registering to ask one question is not very appealing to me.

Thanks for responding all.

They or forum moderators generally do notice - it'd just be faster for you to contact them directly. This way though, it'll be a public answer others might use.

You could also post in Shrapnel General forum rather than Dom 3 forum, which is described as a place to ask Shrapnel questions and that has less traffic than this forum so it might get noticed faster.

You could also send a PM to Mindi or Annette, they are often online and they are admins here.
