Klumpen0815: The whole series was listed as $9,xx at the promo,
at checking out it suddenly was $10.17 and no shop credit.

Do I see this right, that there was regional pricing included without a shop credit for the first time here and completely sneaky too?
Yes that seems to be true for a few countries like UK and Germany where the buyer's first noticed this happening although Grargar linked this to currency conversion but the currious thing is that I paid the $9.XX price in euros where as some people got 10.17$ equivalent in euros to pay.

It sucks that I had 20 minutes to get this game and my friggin Wi-Fi was spotty because I was on the train. I hope I'm not missing anything.
Thanks for the game. You´re the best.

I wondered if GOG had compensated for bad internet. Now I know. Here's to hope that they'll give at least another 24 hours on whatever next freebie they put up. =(

I just received an update notification for "With Fire And Sword" but I don't see anything marked as new, nor any threads talking about it. Is there any info out somewhere else about this?

I think they added a mutilplayer fix, as I don't remember it being there when I downloaded the game yesterday.

GOG не продает паровые ключи, но вы все еще можете запустить игру от клиента пара. Я надеюсь, что помогает.

GOG does not sell steam keys, but you can still launch the game from the steam client. I hope that helps.
Why bother sending a Mount & Blade 48 hour free game notice at 2:40 PM Nov 15, 2014 when it ended on 1:59 PM GMT Nov. 14. Is it just to say FU? Why the hell am I signed up to your mailing list when you can't send it on time?

Anybody knows where I could rewatch the Mount & Blade twitch stream with Total Biscuit cause I unfortunately missed it and gogs twitch tv does not have it listed for viewing.

Edit: Never mind the above it seems twitch tv changed the system. I found the video now.

G-Doc: I've just updated the news post with a Twitch stream announcement! In 22 hours from now, join TotalBiscuit as he plays the original Mount & Blade at ! <a href="http://www.gog.com/forum/general_archive/release_mount_blade_series_free_game_cc507/post161" class="link_arrow"></a></div> You might want to change the Twitch streaming link on [url=http://www.gog.com/news/release_mount_blade_series_free_game]this page so it only plays the relevant show.

Currently, it just plays the live session.

By the way, might you consider including a link to your shows on the relevant game pages so people can easily check out the gameplay?
