He will reply after awhile just be patience guys, after it was announced on FH there will be lots of people trying to get it and 1 person cannot go through 100+ people in about 10 mins, got mine within 2 hours or so, just send another email with confirmation of payment etc or phone him, phone number can be found on the ebay site. :)

Say again, 900mb DL is alot just for graphics, from what i understand the 900MB DL is basically the entire catacombs client, if you dont copy your ToA folder then its a 2.3gig DL which is the entire cd content of all the game disc's.

btw i would like to confirm i have done this also, i now have catacombs installed and the CD-KEY i got via email was verified about 5 mins ago so its all good.

Just a few tips incase anyone is unsure.

Get 3 files from nimronn or someone else if they have them, remeber to copy your ToA folder and put the 3 files into there, then hit camelot.exe to DL 900MBs.

Make your bid on ebay with the link provided. They accept payment via paypal.

If your unsure about anything, phone the guy .. Micheal, hes a nice guy, busy guy but nice.

and last note, dont use the quick activation for catacombs, its not as quick as normal registration through subs pages.

and final note (honest) wait for servers to come back up :)

Tho i realy wonder how he gets the CD-keys..
He opens your "Sealed" Box.. grabs manual.. checks the backcover.. mails key..?¿ :)
what if he accidently gives the same key to 2persons.. then those people are a bit screwed innit?

It looks like the back up plan is over :(

Sorry to all that didnt get a chance to get a copy - but apprently hes out of stock so unless u guys can get a CD key from another company, theres nothing left you can do :/

nevertheless - congrats too all that did manage to get a copy and ill be seing ya ingame tonight ! with my VAMP W00T called Eventide.

ima phone the company and say thanks for all his efforts to send CD keys out

Must have had been a nightmare for him :/ but hes a really cool guy.

anyway

yea i was worried about this also, but he pulled through and i got a unique one. also if you look at the guys ebay rating hes alot to lose by ripping someone off.

I forgot to add (for those ordering tuesday) i paid a total of 23.99 Euros (£17.10) but bear in mind i told them to basically throw the cd/box away as i didnt want to be lumbered with the international delivery charge, all i got was what i wanted and that was the CD-Key via email.

I would also like to extend my thanks to Nimronn, if it wasnt for him i doubt there would be anyone from uk playing.

900mb is the difference in files from catacombs to toa (new textures, replacing old dlls and the like)

there's another 1.4 gig of textures and zones and stuff that it uses from ToA (they've not changed)
