Question about buying online.

[Nooremvend]

I have some stupid questions. When i buy the game on-line i understand i get two CD keys that have some kind of 60 day thing with them. Doest that mean that in 60 days i could use the old one on some other computer if haven't used it before? Can they both be on multiplayer on same time or do i have to buy separate ones To play with my bro online? And what average internet speed is needed to run the multiplayer normal at all in an average room? (maybe i cant handle it so it would be waste)

The question is ofcourse because i am thinking about buying, but having some money issues and was thinking about splitting the bill . But when its not possible for us to play on the same server we wont even try that way hehe.

And if something happens to the computer and i have to get a new one will i have to buy it again or is the serial useable again? I read somewhere that the accounts would stay as long as i use the same cd-key.

Hope you guys understand me and answer without screaming too much because i havent played much and this is one of the few games i think i would enjoy enough to keep (looking at the demo atleast). And english is not the first language so alot of mistakes i know.

Thanksin advance.

[+]When you buy the game you only get 1 serial key.
[+]You can activate that 1 key on more than one computer that you own, however. I have Warband installed on my desktop and laptop, for instance.
[+]Each key has a limited number of activations in a limited amount of time. It is something like 2 or 3 activations in 3-4 months. I am not certain of the numbers.
[+]You cannot, however play multiplayer from both machines at the same time--every person on multiplayer needs to have their own, unique key.
[+]So, if you want to play with your bro online, you need to buy the game 2 times to get 2 keys.

Caba`drin thanks for the answer, cleared up some things for me that i clearly misunderstood from posts on internet. Saved me from suprises.

I will probably buy one now and later the second one. But this game will have a few more players soon . The fact that modding is not restricted and how many mods i have seen here on the forum is just staggering, i can find what suits me the best. Plus the warband age and concept is just right age for me. Not too soon, not too late.

Just hope my internet can handle it well. Well if it doesnt i guess its months worth of single player game anyway.

Can´t wait. and thanks again. We will meet on the battlefield!!

Well I have an internet modem slow like hell (256kbps I believe) , and I get 70-80 ping (enough to play without lag) in countries like France and UK (I live in Spain). In german east servers 120 ( a bit more laggy)and so on.

Oh really? Then i should have no problems in that too.
I have a internet stick, a wireless version since i live in the country and no availability of permanent connection, on good days i get about 2-3 megabytes, when its bad weather or alot of users it goes down to 400kbs.... so it should sit in the limit ... now most of my questions are answered without sarcasm, a friendly place!

a friendly place!

Uh oh, this one got lucky. Where are the rest of the stodgy old farts to berate the new guys? Am I alone now?

Enjoy Warband, mate. If you're strapped for cash, check GamersGate and Steam for sales. They have it up for $5 fairly often.

Thanks, at the moment there is nothing that cheap on GamersGate. found eBay to be a bit cheaper. So i think next month i will get the game. this month there are too many expences still to make... but now i made some budget cuts and i am certain i can pull it off... for the answrers. i will offer a chance to cut me down later when i get to multiplayer heheh.... but until then i will practise some more so you wont get it too easy...



Again, thank you for all the help and advice.

Ok i have the game now, steam activated and all....but it wont connect to servers for some problem, need to work it out on friday. So atleast some progress ...only bad thing its the newest version 1.150 that i have heard is quite buggy. Maybe thats a part of the connectivity problem, will see, steam didnt let me choose between ... But soon hopefully!!
