Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Well, i could play, for there is nothing else i need to do, but i can't, because i ordered the game from play.com today as i absolutely refuse to use Steam(ing pile of ****), and they don't have a next day delivery option, so if i'm lucky i'll get it Thursday morning, if i'm not lucky i'll get it Friday morning, and if i'm very very very unlucky i'll only get it next Monday morning.
Just reassure me that i'm not the only one who won't be playing tomorrow, because it feels like i will be. :thumbsdown:

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Don't worry. I just realized I don't have enough money for ETW, so I probably won't be able to play it until some late next week...
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
I have to write some exams next week, so I won't play as much as I want to. :furious3:
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
I plan on playing it tomorrow but you know what it's like with these things, something disasterous is bound to happen. Like a freak tornado appears and sucks up only my computer and every copy of E:TW in town.

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
If Game insist on charging £45 for it, then I might just not get it.

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
I'm almost certain you'll still have to activate it on steam.

You'll still be using Steam in some capacity... activation is handled through it, whether you bought a boxed copy or digital download.
I think it's a good thing. I would rather have Steam than SecuROM.

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
I wont be able to get my hands on it till i return to Portugal...and thats next friday....if its available to buy that is. :laugh4:

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
My copy is on backorder :laugh4: At least my new video card will arrive in the mail before the game so when I do get the game I can hopefully enjoy it on High instead of Medium. :yes:
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Steam reports about 9 hours before it will allow authentication. I imagine anywhere from 4-6 hours after that will be needed to download. So it will likely be mid-morning tomorrow before I'm able to do anything. :shame:
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
well...my computer broke just last week, and I need to send it back to the store since it's only a month old.....so yeah I won't be playing for a while for at least a week:furious3:
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
If everything goes to plan with my pre-order, I'll get the game on the 6th of March, this Friday. I'm hoping that's how things work out because it will be much harder to receive a UPS package while my University is on spring break next week. The fact that I live in the middle of nowhere doesn't help matters much either. Anyway I have my fingers crossed, and I too have a video card/RAM upgrade coming in before the game, tomorrow probably.
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Yeah, well I didnt get the job, so extra playing time for that. BUT!!!!! Eb games just called me. PRE ORDERS IN EARLY.
IM GETTING ETW TODAY!
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Yes...
I wish I had the game.....I don't.
I am trying to resist reading all the threads that say things like "OMG I HAVE IT" and "OMG IT AWESOME"
I must be patient and read the other threads....all one of them :laugh4:
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Well I have to work pretty much all day tomorrow, so no Empire for me just yet (except for maybe installing it when I get home late tomorrow night). Gah!
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Hey i'm not getting mine till the 7th, which is the start of my work week.
So other then the people who are doing the not getting it for a month waiting for pc upgrade crowd, I'm pretty sure i'll be the last want the game now person to get it lol.

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Well, play.com is still tracking my order as "packing", which apparently means payment has been processed and item is being readied for dispatch.
It has said this since 6am yesterday morning when i ordered it, and it's now 8am the following morning.
If anybody ever plans on moving to England, bear in mind that the mailing system here is horrid.
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Yes...thus if I lived in England 2 things would happen.
I'd go broke from Games Workshop and CA
and
I would never order anything by mail
:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
I'm severely anti-social though, i refuse to go into town and have to wade and shove my way through the masses of plebs all standing outside Greggs eating cheese and onion pasties and middle-aged women all gossipping about their friends and other such crap.
Only to get to Game and have to cue up with all the other losers in the store for 10 minutes and listen to people in the cue talk about how they downed the lich king last night. I mean, i play WoW, played it for 3 years, but must people spend all day talking about it as well as playing it?
No, mail order is the only way for me.

That's nothing. I once ordered an MP3 player from Amazon, and it was 'ready for dispatch' for about a week. :furious3:
Eventually I had to cancel my order and buy it from Currys instead.

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Don't worry, you're not alone-i don't get mine until Friday, and then I have a dentist's appointment directly after school. Do you realise how long dentist's appointments drag out without having to wait for something like this?!:wall:
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Ouch. I'm glad i got my seasonal dentist appointment out of the way on monday. :sweatdrop:
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Game has still not arrived. Rage building. Destruction... imminent.
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
Right, according to play it has been shipped, along with Left 4 Dead which i ordered at the same time. It says wait 3-5 days for delivery. It's now down to lady luck. I could get it tomorrow morning-early afternoon, or i could get it next Monday. You just never know with the Royal (pain in the ****) mail.
I suppose the worst thing that could happen, aside from it only coming next Monday morning, is getting a package tomorrow or Friday, hoping it's Empire, then seeing that it's Left 4 Dead, because Play ship all games seperately.

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
For me it's up to the weekend. If this thing can get over the sea before saturday sunday I can get it by saturday. If not, then it get's slim.
Assuming it ships late on the 4th , 5th to get out of states, usually a day to euro 6th, and hopefully here where I live on 7th.
Of course if it gets delayed another 3 days in there, but i'm hoping it does show up :)
:2thumbsup:

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
The good news; my order shipped this morning. The not so good news; delivery date is March 10. :turtle: they'll be coming round the mountain when they come

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
This thread is making me sad....and increasingly untoptimsitic that my order will arrive before the 10th :sweatdrop:
-
Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
My copy is supposedly due tomorrow, but I'm hoping I may get lucky and recieve it today since there's a huge Amazon warehouse right here in Swansea.

Yes I really must stop reading those, no good can come of it. Either they make me depressed because people are raving about how good the game is and I don't have it yet or else they make me depressed because people are saying the game isn't good or doesn't work.

I too have a dentist's appointment on Friday, and I haven't been flossing. :no:
I expect pain.

Re: Will anybody else not be able to play for a few days?
There you go,
Go out and floss until ETW shows up at your door. No breaks, just keep flossing :laugh4:
