    EU WotG on an NA game?

    Is it possible to install a copy of EU version of WotG if my POL, character account and FFXI/Zilart/CoP/ToAU are NA version? Anyone knows this?
    Tried importing this from play-asia but heard they are so slow shippin :\

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think installing is the problem, however you can't register a EU key on a US account. I know for a fact that once correctly registered you can use any account on any type of installation.

    You are correct, However.
    With what information the OP gave us, it is from my understanding that it won't be in his best intrest to buy an EU version of the expansion.

    eBay?

    Alternativedvd are selling them fairly cheap. I've never heard of them, but with 40000+feedback, you're probably going to be fairly safe...

    Your best option would be to find a NA friend you trust, send them $30, and have them pick up two copies.

    I've been using dvdboxoffice.com and they've been delivering fine to the UK (at least with CoP and ToAU, pre-ordered WotG couple of weeks back), just be warned that it may take a few days to arrive. Only use them if you can cope with reading linkshell chat of how awesome/shitty the expansion is while you're still stuck in the old areas.

    Same here, ordered at dvdboxoffice.com (lolcanada ) did this with ToAU too and yeah it took a few weeks for that one to be delivered but that was mainly because we ordered about 2 weeks after ToAU was released so it might've been that they didn't have any in stock. Ordered it last week this time around so hopefully I'll have it next week or the week after.

    I'm in spain too (por cierto de donde eres de españa :O) and i used amazon.co.uk to order toau. Shit got home incredibily fast, but i had to pay a lot for priority deliver, so it depends if you wanna pay an extra 30€ just to have it 3-4 days earlier.

    Amazon.co.uk would deliver you an EU version of the game which is not what the OP was after as he's playing on the NA version.

    And I preordered all expansions with dvdboxoffice so always got the email of them shipping it the day it was supposed to be shipped. It's just if you don't go for the premium delivery option and pay arm and a leg of extra it takes a few days to get across the pond.

    Re: EU WotG on an NA game?

    I would advice you to get a torrent from the disc content and purchase only the registration key.

    I've done that with CoP and ToAU, and now have WotG pre-ordered. Made the purchase in this online store someone recommended me: https://www.interactcd.com/, and sent them an e-mail with the order ID asking just to send me the code via e-mail. That way you can avoid shipping and toll fees, besides, it's faster (they replied me with the key in just a few hours).

    The only drawback is that you are not getting the box for collection purposes, though doing this and getting the EU box can still be cheaper for some.

    I've done the same thing - also ordered from InteractCD.

    Now - the question is - how fast will we find the WotG torrent? ) Hello? Any GameStop employees here?
