Polish players, I could use a small favour

Post by Heed » Sat Aug 19, 2006 10:47 pm

Hey.

I would really appreciate it if any of the Polish player base could check out the CD Projekt site ( http://www.gram.pl ) for me. I don't speak/read Polish and I would like to know what benefits they give to registered members. That is, players who have registered their game copy at the site. I'm particularly interested in any "bonus materials" available to registered members and what the circumstances are around these material's availability.

I would also be interested to know if any Polish players have already registered their game copy at the site. Do Polish players know that CD Projekt is the Polish publisher for NWN's? Do they visit the site at all?

I'm not interested in knowing about the Witcher or anything related to other titles -- just NWN's.

Thanks, any insights/translations will be greatly appreciated. :)

Ah, boo. ;)

Not one willing Polish person? Oh well, I was at least able to figure out the site url means something like "I'm Playing" and that it seems to be some sort of game trading site where you can buy games with "virtual cash", whatever that means.

Thanks anyways.

Hehe, didn't know there was one. They should all be in one place then and hunched over a computer screen with the Avlis site up, no? :)

It's not critical but was a bit time dependant. The time factor doesn't matter now, so it's not a biggie.

No, we were in a cottage outside a lake having fun. But yeah, someone may get back to you shortly. All those funny Polish words... hehe

OK, I'll answer what I know for now. :)

Yup, we know that CDProjekt is the NWN distributor for Poland - they even made a Polish version, which I use. I have registered my copy ages ago, so I do not know what bonuses would you get for registering yours now - though I doubt you can register an English copy on the Polish site - due to the fact that, as I said, CDProjekt made a Polish version of the game.

I haven't got any particular bonuses for registering any other CDProjekt products either - though I did not look for them very hard. We can of course help you in registering the game, though I doubt the profits would be greater than e-mail newsletter. I wouldn't expect free premium modules for example. ;)

If you need any more feedback, let us know.

And sorry for delay, I missed your post in the meeting fray. :) :oops:

I.

Thanks guys, looks like you had fun. :)

I should clarify that I'm not looking to register my game. I was looking to find out from Polish players who registered there if they were offered anything as "bonus materials". Like hak paks and things like that.

There might not be anything at the site yet about it...I don't know if it's just planned or actually exists. Maybe they have a section for registered game owners with content available for download?

I should clarify why I'm asking:

I received an email asking my permission to host some of my hak paks at the site. The mail said the content would only be available to those registered there and would be made available as "bonus material". This could mean a number of things. My main concern is that they might be giving the impression that the content is only available to polish players by registering at the site. This is false as it's on the Vault and my own site without registration requirements. In short, I don't want to okay this unless I know that they aren't just looking to generate traffic or giving a false impression to registered users. If they aren't giving the wrong impression and just want to offer more services to the site members, then that's cool. I just can't tell which it is.

I communicated this back to them, but haven't heard anything. Not sure what's up...just wonderd if the Poles here visited the site and knew anything about "bonus material" for registered game owners.

Thanks again. :)

I see. Well, sincerely I have not been looking for any "special material" on the site, thus I do not know. I have not received any newsletter from them for ages, which may mean my "registration" has been long gone. I expect that you may be quite right - they will give your hak paks as an "extra bonus" to people who register NWN purchased now (the DVD edition hits the stores within next month or something), however I have no idea how they will deal with the advertising. If your material is free for all, you may simply demand to make it clear for the players in your correspondence with the CD Projekt - if they disagree, you may refuse them the right to use your hak paks. :)
