Steam Questions

1) If you pre order from steam do you have to play thro steam i.e launcher etc. ?

2 ) how easy is it to link+ pre download ?

Reason for question 1 is that steam goes down on Tuesdays for regular maintenance every week, so i don't wanna log in after waiting in any queue just for steam to go down :(

No, you must add the key to your Trion account anyways so you can download it from Trion.

Not sure about predownloading

Well you would be prompted to download it through steam, which would then launch through steam. However what you're really paying for is the activation key, which you enter in a Trion's website and that's what gets you access. Later you will be able to download the client directly from Trion as well so you could play it off steam assuming you download it directly from Trion. Otherwise it'll be a launcher launched through steam's launcher.

Doesn't sound confusing at all.

You can get your key from the Details View on your game inventory then click CD Keys on right side. Pop that in the Trion site and you will be good to go. Just finished pre-download this morning

Don't confuse people xD

You can download it from Steam
You can also download it from Trion

You need to add the code to Trion anyways to play the game so there is a choice.

You get the key from detailed view on your Steam Library

Thnx guys, main thing im worried about is probs with steam on tuesdays, i dont want to get playing+ have to leave due to steam going down.

I.e play game without steam being on

My explanation was seemingly more enjoyable.

Hell, it was so easy. I bought 3 copies, and all linked to trion just fine.
