<div class="IPBDescription">A Request</div>Hello NS Community,
Just a simple request:
Does anyone have an extra special edition key, or know someone who has yet to use theirs?
A long shot I know, but if anyone does have an extra special edition key:
please message me and we can discuss pricing, as I would like to purchase it from you.
You can name your price, or, we can discuss what is best.
I was living under a rock, where NS was out of line-of-sight. Yes, for well over a year or two.
Any information is appreciated.

Hahaha, thank you for the offer, but 500€ is a bit over the allowed budget for said obsession I have made myself since I discovered that NS2 was actually being made, not even a couple days ago :)
but if you really want to trade, please pm me, and let's exchange emails :P
<b>Comprox,</b>
Understood, and thank you.
IF someone is looking at selling the key, I hope we can establish some sort of trust on the matter.
Such as:
Use of telephone for communication (easier to trust when you know one's phone number)
Use of Ebay perhaps
or if the person is a known member of this community
.....
Haha, I realize this is not a very safe thing to trade in the series of tubes these days,
but if someone has one, and thinks we can work it out
Let me know!
If not, I will suck it up and buy the regular pre-order.
Not neccesarily true, you don't actually buy the game, you buy a license to use a copy of it.
It's like books, they always have 'cannot resell in altered packaging' or something in the cover, ownership is conditional, not complete. Usually you are allowed to resell, but I'm fairly sure that steam for example does not allow resale of game keys.

I wouldn't change my SE key even for a +6000$ steam account but you can wait until the next refund crying thread and make an offer ;)

Thanks for the heads up, and that's pretty upsetting to me. But I guess software giants stay giants for a reason.
The fact they dont have a <i>built-in </i>system to sell/transfer your old games however is probably that it would cost resources to make one, and people would put their games on that list directly after they played it, swamping the system with cheap game copies which give money to users, not steam (price makes people buy them instead, and steam will get way less actuall sales).

Hahaha, yeah, I may just wait for that thread if no one bites. Though, only if they haven't used their SE key yet.

Good question!
Either/or really. I can buy a regular edition and use the SE key you or someone sells me to upgrade that account.
I haven't purchased either, so whichever way the seller wants to do it, I am willing ;) At no hit to the price in question.
<b>Comprox</b>
Noted. To avoid future issues I imagine.
It really may be worth it for them to make the special edition available for a weekend or two.
There are no current plans to offer the SE again as far as I am aware; that was a time-limited tier which has expired, and was warned about numerous times that after that date, it would no longer be available.
No, Alpha access is limited to the SE preorders. Standard preorders (and SE preorders) will have access to the beta, when the game reaches that state.
Or maybe I was dreaming. :O

Omg... really??? i just bought a new pc which i will have in a few weeks, and wanted to buy this game, of course, but.... im not going to be able to play alpha??? damn it.... argg!! :(
and of course, you have no idea when a "beta" will be released, maybe 1 month, maybe more..... so.... yeah.... damn it, i should have bought the SE when it was available :(
Nothing surprising about it. Things have been this way for over a decade if you ever bothered to read any of the liscence agreements you've ever agreed to. I don't object to reselling personally, though, and would probably sell off some of my steam account's unplayed games if I could. :P
