Thread: Purchasing TNW in the UK

    Purchasing TNW in the UK

    I'm looking for a site that will ship TNW to the UK right now (as in, they will ship today).

    I've given Digital River enough time already. They said it would be sent to me on Monday. Well, its now Wednesday and they are telling me it will ship on Friday!

    I'm disappointed in Digital River, but I don't want to drag up the distribution problems again - I just want to play TNW

    I've checked Amazon.co.uk, but they do not list TNW at all.

    Any advice?

    http://www.play.com have NW listed, but they are also saying that it won't ship until Friday I'm leaving my order with Digital River until the weekend - if it doesn't say "Shipped" on my order status by then I'm cancelling and ordering from Play instead.

    *edit* as of posting, the play.com server seems down lol, you can get to it here: http://www.playserver1.com

    Thanks for the info.

    I don't understand why they are all saying that the product is due for shipment on Friday when Funcom have said they have all been sent to the distributers... maybe another "weird" distribution thing?

    Ok all this has been explained at AO-Basher and I dont for the life of me know why an official post wasnt put up here with the info as well.

    While the Europe (except Germany) CD's were made in Ireland the boxes etc came from the US. This 'box' shipment was delayed by customs and so even though FC shipped the product it still hasnt reached Europe yet. The CD manufacturer in Germany also does the boxes which is why they arent effected but France is a different story - i.e. they are looking at January due to some law they have (think its regarding translation)

    game.uk.com & play.com both list the 6th as the date, and I've just spoken to DR who say they will be shipping tomorrow (5th) which _implies_ they have now received the shipment. In theory game and play should receive their shipments at the same time as DR but to be honest I'm not going to cancel with DR now since I dont see the point (wont get here any quicker)

    Yep, I've ordered mine from GAME, fingers crossed for Friday.

    I didn't even consider ordering it from DR I only order from places based in the UK.

    This is yet another example of the UK/europe having to wait for games after USA release. When it is such an important booster such as NW, where the early bird really does catch the worm, ie gets all the best tower places you have to wonder why FC didnt halt the activation day.

    Pretty unreasonable if you ask me.

    Actually due to the **** up DR will let you cancel - they have already asked me if I want to
