All you need is the actication key. So if you dont want to pay shipping fees, find a friend to buy the game in a shop, get the key number and refund him the purchase price (you could even do that in RK crédits =))
That s all folks, enjoy=)
ok.. this thread is actually quite funny. everyone complaining about what he said needs to cafefully, slowly, reread what he stated...
what he states is perfectly legal, practically anywhere, especially in the USA... still confused? let me outline what he said...
1. Friend buys copy of NW for Bob
2. Friend e-mails Bob cd-key
3. Friend snail mails software package to Bob
4. Bob gets to use towers and such in-game while waiting for software.
5. Friend, if he plays AO too.. buys himself a copy as well.
there.. no problem, everything leagal and peachy.
KTHNX :D
An even BIGGER problem...
I have close to 100 people on my icq account. I have friends on there from just about everywhere. Only a few actually play AO but still, no one has seen Notum Wars on the shelves. Can everyone who HAS found a copy on the shelves state where is was?

Wow, you must be a judge or legal advocate which has the power to decide it is legal and peachy, but DOH! Wait a minute...
Apparently NO ONE reads the EULA, nor do they understand it.
YOU MAY NOT TRANSMIT THE CD-KEY, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR DON'T DO, OR WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT THE LAW!
This discussion of a "legal-workaround" due to the lack of distribution doesn't address the Terms of the EULA which are currently in place. When it comes to software, there is no such thing as a "legal-workaround". If you knowingly violate the EULA in any way, you've done nothing but dug yourself a deep hole if you get caught (worst case scenario, say goodbye to your account).
Get some patience people. If you are in the U.S., just goto:

Have it sent to your house. Problem solved.
If you are in Europe, pray you find a U.S. Store that has it and order it there; or I'd advise filing a complaint, as there are several agencies in MANY European coutries which are similar to the Better Business Bureau in the U.S., but they have less tolerance when it comes to complaints (hehe, you should check out the company report on Funcom and Digital River, I did, and I LMAO!)

hot damn we got a touchy one here
man are you surprised at what CZ stated?
why should funcom care when and how you got the key?
you can throw away the cd after somebody purchased it for you the point is that the key links with your account.
if the same key is only used once why should they bother?
if however one nws key is used for several accounts i would guess them to investigate this and close down some to all of these accounts since the key clearly was copied then.
*edit: also it is gets people into a more receptive mood if you do not copy paste your point word for word only with more expletives.
if people do not understand what you are saying do you repeat the same thing again just louder or do you rephrase?
if you do not rephrase you might have a good future in management but nowhere where social skills are relevant.*
