Purchasing questions for Warband

[NED]

I purchased Mount & Blade years ago in beta before TaleWorlds had a publisher, directly from this site.

Will this be available for me when purchasing Warband? (I don't want a limited number of installs with securom or any rootkit drm)

(I was also thinking this thread could be used for other questions to ask about other forms of digital distribution, steam d2d etc.)

EDIT:Will I be able to purchase Warband the same way I did Mount&Blade original?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean an earlier version of M&B?

Sorry if I misunderstood. If you're talking about the beta, you can try to sign up for it now, but I'm pretty sure you have to pay for it once the full expansion is made.

Armagan indicated that if Warband became a stand alone release then they'd be offering a discount to existing owners of M&B if bought through this site, so presumably that would imply a yes. The beta is still using Themida, whether they'll change the DRM or not I don't know.

You mean can you download the original after warband is released?

I would expect so...

I apologize if I was too vague. I meant to ask if I will have the same purchasing option for Warband as I did for the original Mount & Blade.

Oh I certainly hope so.

That would be awesome. Not that I expect it to cost much in the first place, but it would certainly be a nice gesture from Taleworlds.

How much do you have to wait until they give you the password for Warband's download?
