JoePrivate Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Is there an option? I am trying to order but it only seems to offer physical delivery which I am not interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hello JoePrivate, at the moment, we're still officially in "pre-order" status as we're in the process of launching the full digital delivery option, but not 100% ready yet. When you pre-order, even if the page does not say it, you get the physical goods AND - usually within 24 hours - you get an email with the download details additional to that. Later on, once we're fully operatonal, you will have three options to purchase the game: download only, mail only, or both download & mail. The latter option will cost $10 more than each of the other two, but at the moment it's the same price, so you effectively save ten bucks. You do have to pay S&H though, so if you're only interested in the download and don't care about the printed manual, you should wait a few days, and you'll be able to order "download only" for $45 without S&H.

Moon Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Mr. Dozer, that question actually is pretty deep And has a number of answers depending on what exactly the problem is. If I try to explain all the details I know that I'll confuse you more than help, plus I'm going to be sitting here for an hour typing, so to make it short: the answer is "essentially yes". However, one thing you should NOT lose is the license key you're going to get with your purchase (or at the moment, in the email following your order). Best to copy/print it and keep it, then you will have no problems later on even if you need to re-download/re-license. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich12545 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 If I just buy the disk option, can it be played without the disk in the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Yes, we do not rely on cd checks anymore, so no cd in drive is needed anymore, not even for the mail delivery version. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich12545 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well, that's good. I'm just trying the demo now. Kinda reminds me of Pacific General updated and expanded. So far I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
