will you be able to download the beta onto 2 computers with one code? or will it require seperate preorders.
my computer being broken down and all.

And I - as soon as I saw the beta release date.

Yes, assuming that you own them both.

  doesn't much matter if I own them or not, all that matters is if you know...

I am sure now they are going to contact the FDC.

This makes me wounder, how they are gonna protect the game from pirats. When the same key can be used servel times.
Guess it only protects against, them from going online then?

Prolly, but I will be uber mad if anyone can download and get the game online once its out in retail. Piracy is part of life , but I at least want to deny them multiplayer and any updates...

I have 3 pc's in my house , so it will be nice to test the Beta on Vista and my 2 XP boxes, to see the differences. Each PC is about 3 years apart, so I will see just how well the game scales to the provided hardware...

SD says this about pirate protection.

Honest people are going gona buy the game regardless, and pirates are going to pirate the game anyways. In the end the game protection will just annoy your custommers and lose you a lot more sales than a few pirates.

Or at least I think so.

Well i guess its time i grace every one with my presance. Yep i have preordered it and will have to put up with at least one XENO. Oh dont worry i have been reading up just felt it unnessicary to say any thing till now.

less is more, nice to have you here!

The beta uses our online activation system. We know which keys are available and track their use, so if someone tries to use the same key too many times, it's locked out.

Stardock is Watching!

I'm sure this will become more of a problem when multiplayer beta is released.

Whomever said that the best things in life are free must have been a software pirating punk!

Put me down as a pre-orderer person , I eagerly await the beta as well, hopefully only a few more hours...

Though it looks like ill be asleep when the beta is released, I wanted to stay up for it but im about to fail and head to bed

Kinda.. Lucky you, I've been awake for some six hours allready...... And when you get up you're more than likely going to have the beta to dl... LUCKY you

Anyone know when its released?  

*checks*

Yep, I DO!!!!!11






today :x

tho I wouldn't mind getting a bit more accurate info ^^

*pokes someone who does*

ps. Think my F5 is getting worn out of all the refreshing it's doing :x

so i pre-ordered the the cd-rom version of the game and i had a question about it. come release day for the game will i be able to download the "download only" version of the game while i wait for my cd-rom copy to arrive in the mail? sorta like how you can predownload hl2 off steam then buy a copy from a store and use the key from your retail copy to activate the download version.

i guess im kinda impatient

IIRC it's cd-rom and digital download, where the other option is digital download only... So I suspect you can DL it and save the unopened box forever

And trust me, you ain't the onlyone whos impatient

Yup.

Preordered last night/this morning. DAMN YOU INSOMNIA!!!!!!!!!/NIETZCHE PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone recieved a Stardock.net serial number for SoaSE yet?

any sign of it yet?

Serials won't go out until we charge the preorders. Just a little while longer.
