I purchased two copies of Two Worlds when it came out years ago. (not online) It was full of bugs and had problems but the worst of it was the DRM. It made you get a new key from support (phone call as on-line didn't work) every time your system sneezed. While I put up with the problems, I finally put it on the shelf.
Ironiclly, just a few months ago I wanted to try it again and see if things had been fixed... But since that time I've moved. And guess what, game won't even install for me because my country is not supported. (region locked)
I know GOG says they sell "DRM free" games, but I've already got burned badly over this game and don't trust it on the multi-player side. DRM FREE means they don't require on-line activation, or keys as that is a form of DRM. Yet I noticed that people have said you have to request a key to play MP. Who's servers does that get validated with? GOG or Reality Pump? As I recall you had to be online to even play single player. Is that still a requirement?
So yeah, I got burned by this very game and DRM once, so understand if I'm a bit untrusting of "DRM Free" version that still requires keys.
