[admin]

First batch of emails sent

Please check your email (or spam folder)

if you have not yet received the steam key please wait a bit. 

[kaboki]

I have not yet ordered, but If I order next week will I still be able to participate in Sea Trials?

[michaelws]

Thanks for letting us know it has begun.

[Absolon]

24% downloaded.. can't wait!

[Ligatorswe]

Where do you find the download? I got the key but no link to download,

[NewWorldTrader]

Received my key - Where do I go?

[PrezesOi]

You guys realized that Steam is required?

1. Download & instal Steam http://store.steampowered.com/

2. Activate key (one you have received by email)- "Games" menu, "Activate"

3. Naval Action will show up in your Steam library.

4. Now you can start game. If server is  active, you can try PVE or PVP action.

 

 

[Ligatorswe]

Well. But the game is not on steam yet, and is not searchable. Impossible to find

[Ligatorswe]

Ok, i found it. Games ---> activate product. 

That was not a feature of steam I knew about.

[Ligatorswe]

Why? I think that most of the people dont know how to activate anything on steam like this. Lets keep it here. Ill post it in a separarate thread too.

[Harry White]

I didn't get one ;( much sadness many tears  

[Hawke]

The first round has gone out, from what I understand more are to follow, possibly later today or over the weekend.

yup^

[Harry White]

Yeah I hope I get one soon, none of my mates have either (we're all in a skype call)

[Edward Vernon]

how in the hell do people registered less than a week and in 1 case less than 12 hours get a key before the rest of us?

[Harry White]

Yeah two of my mates have now got keys after checking again, they ordered 2 weeks ago, I ordered the first or second week it was available, just bad luck i suppose 

[michaelws]

I ordered first week...still awaiting.  But I have always had such luck and it has taught me patience...and is continually teaching me that same lesson.  Will make the getting all that much sweeter.

[Harry White]

Still pretty off that the people who have just ordered it have got it first ?

[Edward Vernon]

I am thinking it may be alphabetically according to the email address used with paypal, in which case I will be waiting a while...

[Bart Smith]

Are the reason you doing this in batches is to not overload servers? Still waiting for mine key:P

[Harry White]

nope my mates email begins in P mine in H 

[D. Federico de Gravina y N]

the mine begins in A

[SirAdmiralBark]

Are the reason you doing this in batches is to not overload servers? Still waiting for mine key:P

that would be the reasonable thought due to any forum of releases usually results into the server being overloaded.

[Edward Vernon]

Understood......so I am just now puzzling on what criteria were used to select the order in which the keys were/are sent out.....obviously from the above not alphabetically.

[Bart Smith]

Random like potbs port battle invites:P
