HELP!!!

[Cheetah]

I went into two computer shops in Hungary, asking about MTW. First reactions: "what is it?". Second reactions: "we dont have it." Next I asked them (a bit naively) that what is the usual delay compared to the west-european release. In the first shop, an optimistic guy, said: "hm, usualy we get it pretty quickly, a few month later" ... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif a few month ... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif A FEW MONTH http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif ... In the second shop they said: "a month or two, perhaps 6 month, maybe a year" ... ... ... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif

I guess I have to order it from somewhere. Do you have any tips?

Alternatively, I might travel to Wien, but then it would be nice to know the Astrian release date. Anyone from Austria?

Lastly, I just wonder whether I am the only Hungarian here with similar problems ... So, anyone from Hungary? Or from Poland? (just curious ...)

[Mr Durian]

try ordering from the internet?

[Vanya]

Hop in yer car and driver over to Italy or Germany and get it there.

GAH!

Or, hop on a plane to London.

When there's a will, there's a way.

Maybe its not out in Hungary because they are pissed they are not a playable faction in the game and that they were made 'Orthodox' instead of Catholic.

Just tell them you duked it out on Magyarosag enough times to know their bull-caca when you see it.

GAH!

Or perhaps.... They approved a new law like in Greece:

Guess were not getting any 'when is it released in Greece'questions here.....

this just s*x, most stupid decesion. I feel really sorry for all the Greek players.

However, I still want my MTW CD ASAP http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[hamstar]

Have you only tried amazon.com or also amazon.co.uk ?
As for the release date I guess it's the same in austria as in germany , which is the 12th of september.This will be a translated version though , so I'd advise to try it online.

btw maybe the austrians have to adapt it their language which definitely can't be called german (at least in some parts) http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

[Mithrandir]

hm.Maybe you can trust one of the org staff enough to mail them money and receive the legal copy from them through mail ?

Edit : edited out my ultra cool piracy icon : http://members.home.nl/jvanbaars/piraat.gif .

Cheetah I just checked play.com for you and no luck they deliver to most European countries including Vatican but not Hungary.

Does seem like Eastern European countries left out.

But Amazon.co.uk do ship worldwide:

WOW Seems the Greek govt. has committed overkill in this situation. What next a ban on all board games (you can bet on thsoe too)? Ban on cars (You can race them for money)? Ban on restaurants/gorcery stores? (some people bet they can eat more pies than another person) I hope the test case that is coming up turns out well for you all in Greece. It would be a shame to have to live in a place where playing a game could get you severly fined or eventually placed in jail. Good luck guys, We will save a place of honor for you when you are able to game with us online.

FFS At first I thought it was a joke! No one can be that stupid and make such a law :-(

Oh well

I ordered the game from http://specialreserve.net/ nice and quick service.

mith,

i would ask that you remove your post. we do NOT condone piracy on the .org, nor wish to promote it or even hint that it is acceptable. just because you're using innuendo or suggestion doesnt mean that it isnt crystal clear what you're suggesting.

warez sites and so on have a use in the world. i've used them and will continue to at times when i cant find a demo for a program i'm interested in, but what you're suggesting is outright piracy and i'm asking you to either edit or remove your post.

cheetah was asking for a site where he could legally purchase the program and what you've posted is a suggestion where he might obtain it illegally. your post is inappropriate.

Ahhh... you are almost as bad as the Greeks Krae...

just joking, I support the anti-piracy policy...especially for this game.


But man, can you believe those Greeks? Thats CRAZY. I sure as hell will not be visiting greece anytime soon.

Next they will be cutting of hands so you cant play "rock scissors paper", because you can bet on that too.

And, Cheetah, if you are really desperate, I will buy the game for you and send it to Hungary myself.

[CeltiberoSkullXIII]

Hey Cheetaa ur problem is easy to solve, GErmany and Austria release date is 5th September, tomorrow, a place where u can get it in Hungary is Media Markt in Budapest, that's a German Electronic Shop, or Austria in SATURN or MEDIA MARKT in WIEN. Not far from u.

Another way can be you send me the money and i can buy a German version (if u understand german), game for u and send via post. easy m8, don't worry be happy!

Another way is to get following adresses in germany:

OKAYSOFT.DE (http://www.okaysoft.de)
GAMEIT.DE (http://www.gameit.de)
or GAMEIT.COM (http://www.gameit.com)

AMAZON (http://www.amazon.com)

Anyway, u can get it!

Best Regards

[Cheetah]

Thx, guys for the help. Unfortunately my german is non-existent, so it seems that visiting Wien is not a solution. Also, thx Skull for the links but I cannot use them for the same reason. I've checked out Amazon.co.uk but they dont deliver to Hungary. I will ask tomorrow at Media Markt, but honestly I would be very much surprised if they were to say that "yes we have it". Also, if it is a german version then it is no help for me. It seems that specialreserve.net might work; the only thing that I dont like is that they promise to deliver it within 21 days. Three weeks ... Am I too impatient? Of course this is the limit so it can be shorter. Last but not least thanks Bach for your offer, I might need it. Can you deliver it faster than 21 day??? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Cheetah]

BTW, on the second thought I think that this Greek thing must be a joke. They cannot make such law in the 21th century, can they?

[FasT]

FasT has 2 copies of MTW.....So i now have 2 CD codes http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
LOL shop made a mistake and sent me them 1 on Saturday and 1 on tuesday.hhheheheh luck or what http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Lord Krazy]

Lord Krazy thx for your offer but I have already ordered it from specialreserve.net. I've got a confirming e-mail; ... so far so good. Hope they deliver it within a few day.

BTW, the siege guns work perfectly! I've made a mod for the demo with them. I will upload it tomorrow. Though, I guess you have more interesting battles/campaigns to play with http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
