CZ, we thank you for your considerate vision regarding the payments for the upcoming Episode 2 in the blog. We also appreciate your effort to help those not in the possession of a credit card to still be able to pay for Episode 2 through the Wiki.

It’s not that we actually thought that this site is unworthy enough to be paid for, but there’s just a lot of hole in this matter. For example, those who resides in a country using another currency besides US Dollar would have more trouble than those in the United States itself.

And now I’ll talk as an individual.

I would love to just make a new foreign currency bank account for myself exclusively to pay for Episode 2; that’s not a big problem. But I want to know if my effort worths it. I read the blog before, so I will ask for a more specific information: Tell me ALL new content we will get IF we paid and WHAT will we just get for free. For example: The Level cap?

Now, now, just spill the details. No need to be afraid to spoil them Log in to see images! Travalgar edited this message on 09/07/2008 1:51AM

Here’s an excerpt from the OP as edited by MC Banhammer

MCBanhammer Posted:

Episode 2 has:

– 20+ new forums

– Tons of new characters to interact with

– New items

– Totally new ways to play

– Much longer than episode one

– All characters attached to your account will gain entry

– This is a one time fee, not monthly or anything like that.

NOTE: The new level cap (and therefore character abilities) are free, hacker clbum is free (bumuming you have an account to play him on), job board is free, a new + big unannounced gameplay feature is free.

Also, the beginning hour (or more) of Episode 2 is free.

What you get for your 10 bucks: new stores, new forums, new characters and storyline.

The new stores are the biggest hurdle for a non-paying account to remain competitive with a paying one, since the paying one will have access to newer equipment.

The informations provided was too vague for me. Can you visit the new forums without paying? I bumume you can’t, since you don’t get the new story mode, right? And by not playing the story, that means there is no way to gain access to those in-game forums, is that correct? And you said that those who don’t pay will not get access to the new shops, and therefore shall not even touch the new equipments, right? What about other items? And what do you mean by “interacting with more characters?” Do you mean NPCs like haxlrose or something like that?

Just sum me up the details of every thing we don’t get without paying.

Everything related with EP2 story mode (thus new Crotch-Zombie made forums, new stores, new characters). Everything you had from EP1 will stay free, so you won’t lose contact with haxlrose.

will we get episode 3 for free as well

just kidding

(it’ll never come out)

And like I said before, this “dollar” thing is a bit of a drawback for those living outside the United States, like me. And, no, there’s no such thing as a Wal-Marts or CVSes or even a VISA gift card in Indonesia. And admit it, there are less and less people holding foreign currency credit cards nowadays in Asia.

I live in Brazil and I pay my BPs via PayPal Log in to see images! it’s not really a drawback.

And the coin on Brazil is named real, as you can read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_real

1 Dollar = 1.7 Reais, on average.

My awesome inside sources have revealed to me that a certificate to get into the Episode 3 Forumwarz beta will be offered as a bonus to all who buy the Collectors Edition of Duke Nukem Forever.

I’m thinking of starting a trust fund so that one day my grandkids will be able to buy it.

If you’re unsure about investing the $10, why don’t you try the first free hour and see how addicted you get? You’ll also be able to read reviews and stuff, so you’ll get an idea of whether it will be to your liking.

Given that I’m online at that hour, that is. Otherwise I’d pbumed it.

PurtynPouty Posted:

Paypal automatically exchanges between currencies, at least major ones, so you can pay in whatever and it will come out at whatever the end recipient wants (in this case, USD.)

Exactly.

Also: Has it been confirmed that new equips might show up in the Ppwn Shop, as suggested earlier? If not, that should totally be implemented, since it sounds like a good baance between having access and lurking for leftovers. Log in to see images!

Probably it will, but it might be flagged as rare as an incentive to buy EP2.

Either way, really, there’s no reason not to buy.
