Direct2drive

So if i understand this correctly, if i buy the game via direct2drive :

http://www.direct2drive.com/6/6327/product/Buy-Warhammer-Online:-Age-of-Reckoning-(Pre-Order)-Download

After patching i'll get to play right away and not have to wait for the 18th right ?

Anyone bought the game this way, did it went smoothly ?

    i was a first time buyer from d2d for WAR and it was fantastic. i had my codes and everything in the email in under 5 mins and i was downloading the game from their download manager in 3 mins. Its great place if you dont give a damn about CDs and stuff. Ill see u on the battlefield.

    hmmm, will you be able to play right now? isnt the direct2drive not  a CE version? therefore you have to wait till tuesday i thought? i could be wrong.

    not unless there is an international dateline between canada and the servers you will be playing on

    Did you buy the CE or the regular edition?

  • coomscooms Member Posts: 219

    yes but im pretty sure he just dosent want to wait until the 18th. Meaning he and all of us preorders whom got codes will be playing tomorrow.

    If you buy from D2D.co.uk you can play today (15th).

    To wank, or not to wank. The ultimate MMO sacrifice.

    my question is : is it even possible to buy the CE as a digital download? doesnt that defeat the purpose since you dont get a fancy CE box with riff raff  and trinkets?

    why am I getting a wait time?

  • FensusFensus Member Posts: 211

    are you downloading the game using the download manager thing? the only time ive had wait times is when im downloading on fileplanet on the public download servers that usually have a queue to punish you for not subscribing

  • momodigmomodig Member UncommonPosts: 555

    I'm using the download manage.

    Did you play in Beta?  If you did then you dont need to download the full client again.

    A queue to download a file you paid for ?!?!?!  What kind of BS service is that ?

    I pre-ordered through Direct2Drive and I can't play till tomorrow it seems.

    I am thanking god right now for direct to drive and that is something else since im an atheist lol. Anyway I had originally preordered the game from ebgames here in town a few weeks back, they didnt have any code sin at the time. I am guessing from employees stealing them. They told me we will call you we should get more in soon. I wait till this past sunday and still nothing so I call them. They tell me they wont be getting any more in, so I ask about getting  a refund so that i can buy somewhere that has a code. The guy on the phone sounds like this insults him or something and proceeds to tell me how I wont be able to get a code anyplace its not possible, he then proceds to tell me the code isnt even all that important that all they give you is beta access and that beta is over, I was like umm what about the in game item and the head start, he looked confused like he had no clue about those. I finally get my money back leave the store and within 30 min of getting home I have placed my pre order from direct to drive as well as already received my codes in my email. Thanks D2D I plan to use you in the future, im not sure If I will ever go back to ebgames.

    Ive been trying to order the game from Direct2drive.co.uk all yesterday since 10am GMT and everytime i click to complete the transaction it just keeps saying:

    "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning UK (Pre-Order) was removed from your cart due to : Country restricted."

    On the main pages it says "Limited number of keys left avaliable".

    And i know its not just me because my friend tried as well and it said the exact same thing for him. I mean, if there are no places left, why do Direct2drive still advertise it as a pre-order item????
