How about you take your blatant prigish racism and stuff it right where it might do you some good and unlock the few brain cells you have left ?

Didnt see what they posted, but just ignore what they said. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that are clueless about the problems that you and GoA face in order to make the game available to download full stop, and also have the inability to be civil.

Thanks to the last minute effort you put in, and most likely the legal battles GoA had with distributers etc to make it available to be got from yourself. I personally didn't get it from you however there are many hundreds of people that will be thankful. So just focus on them, believe me when i say that your company has now got a lot of fans :D

That bank holiday release date has been nothing but trouble from the damn start though.


It being an official bank holiday on Friday has nothing to do with it - all the shops were open as usual (except banks :p). Only day where everything is really shut is Easter Sunday. You're barking up the wrong tree (I'll stop short of saying you're just barking... ) ;)

I'm guessing that they've had no problem with legal battles etc because all there doing is purchasing catacombs packs and taking the CD keys out of them. I do however really admire the gap in the market that you've found and its a shame a few more companies with online facilities haven't followed suit. One thing i would like to know however is how many packs your expecting in over the next few days and how that compares with your pre orders.

Im assuming they got round this issue by putting the codes through the distributer who then pass them on to DLgamer. If GoA sold direct to DLgamer then i guess that where the problems would be. And that would be why they cant just hand the company the keys and need to wait till the 29th, which is when i assume their distributes are back to work.

It is indeed a good way to sell the game and I am guessing that there is actually a big market for this. To be honest if i could set up a small company with just 2 servers and plenty of band width i would actually do this.

Possibly setting up a business soon in the computer industry, may actually look at the idea of the visability of doing this as part of it. Will just take quite some time before would actually be able to though, which is a shame.

Hello guys, i just wanted you to let you know that we have made a new master since some people were having problems with the size of the files to download.

The new master is now 7 smaller files.
It should solved the problems for the few remain people. One of the downside is that if you only have one file corrupted, you still have to redownload everything but i can assure you you'll be surprised by the new DL speed, we added yet more servers this morning.

Only problem with setting up such a business with this though is that its very limited in scope with copy protection on offline games. MMORPG's seem to be moving to the masses though now.

Just as a query, will the keys sent out be prioritised by who got their order in first?

Just sitting tight waiting for my place to get my key and im curious if I got in maybe a wee bit too late and might be waiting a fair bit for it.

Cheers. :)

I got my CD key from DL gamer just now(MOnday)......what is with this download speed of 20k per second. I am on 2meg broadband.
Going to take 9 hours to download. Of course you only find out AFTER paying.

That's not normal instead of bitching in the wind, contact Support@dlgamer.com and the guys will look it up.


And i'll make sure to pass along your thanks to the team that worked on all week end to get you your copy tonight instead of tomorrow.

No they are not available, we were able to get some keys but they are going to the people who preordered first.

You might check your mail to see if you are one of the lucky few but that's about it.

And that's also why i didn't post about it earlier.

oooh well it worked for me but I guess I did pre-order so it probably worked for that reason for me.

I've got nothing but the highest praise for Dlgamer. I had problems with corrupted files and every occasion they replied to my emails within 10 minutes of sending it, even at 0200am ...

These guys have bent over backwards in a very awkward situation and deserve a big pat on the back.

Well done DL gamer.

Sorry for the bitchy post before.
I think alot of people like me wanted to play Cata over the bank holiday weekend and try out the new characters etc. Most of us never got the chance due to it being unavailable in shops. Now its back to work tomorrow which means less chance to try it out.

27th unfortunately since that was when I managed getting some cash in for the order.

I have to say, i'll be using your site more often for games which are hard to find in my retail shops and other ones online.

Many thanks. ;)

Yup i think this just about sums it up. Its depressing to see theres already level 50 catacombs chars and so many are still waiting to get hold of a copy.

it's not an arms race... well it shouldn't be :p

not like someone having a 50 pled warlock is going to make your playing of catacombs pointless...
