    Also, for everyone questioning vanilla M&B vs. Warband:

    One of the greatest singleplayer experiences ever is playing through Prophesy of Pendor, a mod that only works on vanilla mount and blade. It's an entirely new world, with new nations, lots of cool new things added (like roving barbarian hordes 400+ strong), and a "declare yourself a king and start conquering the world" option.

    the wife called wondering why the hell she got a call from bank about all of these steam pack purchases... it would seem that I am now "cut off" from purchasing as it were. /sigh was still hoping to get the indie pack for myself and get in on JC2 and maybe conviction maybe if I buy her something nice she will "forget"

    /launch flowers and chocolate.

    That's what you get for having your wife's number as point of contact for the bank.

    :P

    lol yeah well it was her account originally when we merged.

    Out of curiosity, how many steam packs did you buy to warrant a call from the bank?

    I am having a problem with M&B. It asks for the serial key, but the one steam offers is too long. It's 5 characters per box and M&B only allows 4. What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks to Gaslight's generosity I'm going to pick up a pack either sometime during this sale (unless this is the final day?), or during the X-mas sale to give out to folks.

    It should be possible to triple lime this. Thanks to Gaslight for doing this.

    Weird: the CD key Steam gives me for M&B Warband doesn't seem to fit their entry system to activate the full version? Or is it already then the full version, since it gave me an activation for past level 7 warning after starting it up the first time?

    And... I'm definately not the only one here with this issue. Thread go zoom!

    My excuse for not having the orange box is that I was gifted HL2 and Ep1 already, got Portal for free when they were giving it away, and my laptop doesn't run TF2 very well.

    So has anyone who has bought Mount and Blade actually been able to run it? When I try to run it, it asks for me to activate it. The cd-key that steam has is about 6 digits too long.

    I've tried looking elsewhere but no one seems to have this problem?

    I'm having the same problem :/

    Ok, I've done some research on the M&B Warband Key thing.

    Everyone who is getting Warband today appears to have this problem, and there is no official response yet on the M&B forum or the Steam forum.

    Give it like 3 hours, and there probably will be one.

    Warband runs fine without asking for a CD key for me, although all I've done is part of the tutorial. Does it ask when you try to go online?

    Well, off to work pals, if we aren't on another new thread by the time I get back tonight I shall be marginally disappointed.

    1. Yeah, I imagine PoP will eventually be ported, but the dev team (while awesome) is pretty slow.

    2. Until you activate it with the serial, Warband says it will only let you level up to level 7.

    And to step on his Give away, I have my next giveaway contest starting now! Until 6:30PM EASTERN TIME.

    This time it isn't random, it's a game of skill. Pick one and give it your best. Post it here on the forums. Winner gets a $5 or lesser item from steam of their choice.

    Be kind to your Noun-footed Noun(plural)
    For a duck may be somebody`s Noun,
    Be kind to your Noun(plural) in Place
    Where the weather is always Adjective.

    You may think that this is the Noun,
    Well it is.

    ________________________________


    Two Noun(plural), both alike in dignity,
    In fair Place, where we lay our scene,
    From ancient Noun break to new mutiny,
    Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
    From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
    A pair of star-cross`d Noun(Plural) take their life;
    Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
    Do with their Noun bury their parents` strife.
    The fearful passage of their Adjective love,
    And the continuance of their parents` rage,
    Which, but their children`s end, nought could Verb,
    Is now the Number hours` traffic of our stage;
    The which if you with Adjective Body Part attend,
    What here shall Verb, our toil shall strive to mend.
    ___________________________________

    I enjoy long, Adjective walks on the beach, getting Verb Ending in "ED" in the rain and serendipitous encounters with Noun(plural). I really like piña coladas mixed with Liquid, and romantic, candle-lit Noun(Plural). I am well-read from Dr. Seuss to Famous Person. I travel frequently, especially to Place, when I am not busy with work. (I am a Occupation.) I am looking for Noun and beauty in the form of a Nationality goddess. She should have the physique of Female Celebrity and the Noun of Female Friend. I would prefer if she knew how to cook, clean, and wash my Noun(Plural). I know I’m not very attractive in my picture, but it was taken Number days ago, and I have since become more Adjective.

    ________________________


    The Color Dragon is the Superlative(ending in EST) Dragon of all. It has Adjective Body Part (Plural), and a Body Part shaped like a Noun. It loves to eat Animal(Plural), although it will feast on nearly anything. It is Adjective and Adjective. You must be Adjective around it, or you may end up as it`s meal!

    Stipulations: No new people to the forums, and no people who've already gotten lots of things!

I'll give it until 3pm PST for entries and I'll send the winner a PM for their email (unless they're already on my friends list). Have fun!

    As a side note of pathetic - in the midst of all this Steam related fun I managed to not only get miserably sick with a cold which has settled directly into my throat but this morning found my left eye completely sealed shut from a case of pink eye. I have spent the day trying to play the World of Goo demo with a washcloth over one eye and enough advil in me to numb down a hippo.
