This is how to buy cd-key online retail box

[clement84]

The Krocoworld Team sells just the code(no shipping required) online, its tried and tested so no worries.
1)Pay them 4.95euros through paypal at world@kroco.biz stating that you only want the cd-key of Saga of Ryzom
2)Once payment go through,email them using your paypal email that you've confirmed the payment.
3)I've gotten my key within 12hours.

*by request I'll post how i find them out to ensure you guys its genuity: http://cgi.ebay.nl/The-Saga-of-Ryzom-PC ... dZViewItem
They are a German company I guess hence if you understand you can buy off direct from there if not you can do it my way as stated above.

See you in MainLand!

Edit by Boroshi:
Dear Players,
If you wish to purchase a key for the Saga of Ryzom, it is my obligation as Community Manager to advise you to purchase it through a well-known and trusted source, such as an online retailer you have used before or your local gaming store (if you're lucky enough that they have a boxed set in stock). Personally, I would advise you to buy a boxed set from a store if you can find one, or use Amazon, but in the end the choice is of course yours.

Do these guys have a webpage or something? I mean, yeah it sounds nice, but "email me 5 Euros and I'll give you a key" for some random email address sounds a bit phishy, wouldn't you say?

Maybe it's legit and I'm being an ass, but your first post on the forums is this. It raises some flags.

I wouldnt trust this source

No one should send these people money - go through a more legit source like that gogamer site or whatever, amazon, or ebay

Boro or some GM, please delete this thread / make an announcement about it?

I am usually not trusting of ebay sellers too but well, 5 euros and their ebay thread looks very professional. I'm trying to be a little nice and help in info providing, the trust part is up to you. I am a customer of this 5euros deal btw, not part of Kroco.
And if those 2 posters above me did buy the code successfully in the end, kindly edit your post to something positive to give the correct message for those who wanna get into MainLand like me. Thanks.
Also i thought it might be a good idea to get this sticky as this convienient methods could build up a good base of new accounts/players which is a much needed booast at this period. I think there are a few other companies that do such deals too, those who know could let GM/Moderator credit it and post it up too.

The thing is I've usually got no problem with eBay sellers. I bought my copy off of eBay with no problems whatsoever. However, your original post just gave an email address and the instructions "send them money." That's shady.

With your link to the eBay page, though, it seems like this might be a good idea for anyone who can do it. How many copies do they have available (obviously, I can't read Dutch...nl is Netherlands, right?)?

[komissar]

well their e-bay feedback is 95,5% positive and most customers are happy as is shown clearly on this page: http://feedback.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... dback:3:nl

What they are selling are cds with the client that were distributed as a free of charge addition to a gaming journal in germany back in 2005.

The cd-key on those cds gives 1 month of free play which is evidently more than enough in current sircumstances.

So don't be hard on the Original Poster before you actually find out what is that he is proposing. The guy tries to help the community but all he gets is rather impolite comments...

Thanks for your kind words but it is alright with me. It is human nature to doubt especially $ matters . Maybe my bad for not stating the original source to where i got it.
Anyway just hope to see more people in Atys!

I understand what you're saying, but the original post was just an email address. It was shady. However, now that he posted a link to the seller's eBay site everything is OK.

Hopefully this seller has a huge box of unopened Ryzom CDs and we'll see a nice influx of folks on the mainland!

The one month free of charge, will that work to REACTIVATE an old account as well?

[ulani]

Yeah, it may sound uncertain and I have no idea if it works or not as I already have my access.

But on the other hand - it's just 5 dollars (and safely through Paypal), if it was a scam, it just needs 1 dissatisfied customer posting on these boards to stop it. If it does indeed works - it's great to see new players again!

Does it work on old accounts too?
