The release is still planned for the 1st of February. The release is linked to the availability of the expansion in retail shops.

The first of February is a Wednesday, traditionally games are released in the UK on a friday so for the UK this will be a friday third of February. Now i dont really mind being 2 days behind the rest of europe, but what concerns me is what if it is delayed in the UK by a week again, Does that mean that GoA will not release DR till people in the Uk get it?, Does it mean that it wont be released till the 3rd of february because it is not available in shops untill then?

what abouts if i cant get it in the shops, due to suppliers not thinking they will sell enough, i for instance will probably need 4 copies of Darkness rising for my accounts, what is the chance of me getting it in the shops on release and what is the chance of me getting 4 copies.

Now i could mail order it, but would it arrive in time or would it arrive on monday morning? i have not seen DR being offered as a download by GoA yet?

The current plan as I understand it, is that you'll be able to buy CD keys online through the goa website, and DL-gamer from the 1st.

Wasnt it some E&E that said the current plan, as he had heard it, was to make the dl available a couple days in advance as well?

Would be nice if some GOA rep could give us some advance info on that particular subject :) Dont really wanna download from US and patch since that has resulted in a corrupted install before.

Would have been nice to know that before I'd ordered !

Quick Q - Apparently in the US when you pre-ordered you got access to some special Pre-order only horse armor? Are GOA implementing this as normal armor or will we actually be able to get this armor if we pre-order the game? Or are they just not bothering with it at all?

There isn't any pre-ordering here but anyone who activates their DR expansion within the first week after the release will get the same free gift as the US players did if they preordered.
