Really peeved that my disc didn't come in the post today.

There are no discs with retail versions.

All you get is a CD Box with a code inside enabling you to download the game, the only benefit from ordering from a retailer is that it is cheaper.

Well I already have the client downloaded, so I'm still angry.

Hey guys! I and others were in on 3 day access however another friend has started today and our server gandara is full, so am i right in thinking transfers are free for now? So he can start elsewhere and join us later?

Thanks a lot

I've spent way more than 200 hours playing games that have cost a lot less than £35.

Please do tell...

As besides Minecraft I cant really think of any other games which cost less than £35 at launch and you can spend 100+ playing.

Gunnar's Hold. There's quite a few of us from here (The LoL crowd) all playing on that server in a guild, anyone from here is welcome to join.

Cheers for that.

Managed to get on Des. I will see how it goes with the lag.

Free for the first 7 days. Although I am unsure if that is 7 days from headstart or from launch. I joined a random low pop server first and just kept checking for a spot to come up in desolation throughout the day.

There are discs

My retail version arrived on Saturday, installed from the 2 DVDs - still needed large download though

mine had discs

What the....really? omg i paid £50 on the main website mainly cause it had early access, i thought retail discs didnt exist, i looked on play.com and other retailer websites which all stated that you'd ONLY receive a code \:

i could have paid £35 and got discs and saved myself £15 and 2 days of downloading. Amg noooooo. Fumin'

I didn't say exploit

The only people that have reached 80 have done it either through the exploit

Ok now you've just confirmed you're trolling. This will be my last response to you. Perhaps if you'd added the next few words of my post? :rolleyes:

Do I need to explain the word or to you?

Yes, but you've probably been playing since Saturday, I won't be playing till wednesday.

I am on a low pop server and we are getting stuffed in the WvWvW battlegrounds due to being outnumbered. With this in mind, is it worth staying on low pop ones if you intend pvping, do you think they will do something to sort the balance out?

bemaniac · 28 Aug 2012 at 12:25

yeah I've seen retail boxes in my local shop and they have discs in.

CS:GO. I don't remember the last time I paid over £35 for a game at launch though, there's always a good deal on somewhere.
