    redeem NS2 or overgrowth?

    Also, I thought the overgrowth + NS2 deal was for overgrowth + NS2 standard, not special. Someone feel free to correct or concur.

    Overgrowth, I edited my post. If its only for standard edition, then it would explain why I couldn't redeem Overgrowth.

    People who ordered NS2 SE also received Overgrowth, not sure if buying the package would give access to NS2 SE though...

    Not sure if this helps, but if you pre-ordered NS2 during the alpha period, you should be able to redeem your free Overgrowth copy here:

    NS2 SE pre-oders should receive an email with the subject "Your Overgrowth key is ready!", there's a link in there which will take you to "Your Overgrowth Alpha Page" showing you "Your secret alpha key"


    The NS2 SE key should work however, on the page aeroripper posted :/

    IIRC, this was back before NS2 needed its separate steam key. There was the <u>alpha</u> key that you first received with the SE, then later (a few months? a year? I can't remember) you had another e-mail sent to you with your steam-compatible activation key to download it off steam. I don't know if you pre-ordered the SE way back in 2009ish, but this was way back before NS2 was even on steam to download. I'm assuming this is the alpha key that site is referencing.

    This. You would need to find your original key you ordered. If you do a retreival on the system now, it will send out the new Steam key. I have no idea if the guys can look up your original keys anymore.

    I was actually able to do the key retrieval with <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/retrieve" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/retrieve</a> and it gave me my 2 keys one for NS2 and one for the black armor. I used the NS2 key and it activated overgrowth just fine for me about an hour ago. Guess your mileage may vary.

    I have emails about both keys and neither seems to work. It's ok though I watched some demos and it's a cool engine but not really my thing.

    Interesting, I get this:

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Oops, your NS2 Key is not eligible.

    Sorry, but it looks like your NS2 key is not eligible for some reason! Possible reasons: you've already redeemed it, or you ordered after the promo started. Each preorder can only be redeemed once.

    If you would like help, please contact us here and we will get you set up ASAP. We will get everything sorted out eventually, please be patient. :)

    If you were trying to access the main promotional site, please click here.
    Return to the main site<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    I bought the special edition so i Assumed i was eligible so this goes to show that not ALL special Edition keys work with that deal. OR as stated in the error box " you ordered after the promo started"....lol....hmmm, so if i ordered after the promo STARTED my NS2 SE Key is invalid...hahahaha.

    EDIT: Double quoted.

    I got the SE at the alpha stage.

    Now, however, my NS2 key yields an invalid error at that page.

    :(

    Wait, wait, what are you saying? Are you saying that if you got the NS2 special edition (during alpha?), you got a free copy of overgrowth?
    I mean... I have the special edition... but I don't remember when I bought it.

    Edit: Using this link, <a href="http://www.wolfire.com/pack?ns2=1" target="_blank">http://www.wolfire.com/pack?ns2=1</a> , tried, but it says
    "Oops, your NS2 Key is not eligible.
    Sorry, but it looks like your NS2 key is not eligible for some reason! Possible reasons: you've already redeemed it, or you ordered after the promo started. Each preorder can only be redeemed once.'
    which makes sense since I bought it at the end of July last year, whereas the "Organic Preorder Pack" started in January last year (?).

    Just means I'll have to buy Overgrowth separately...

    If you preordered the SE before the Overgrowth deal was offered.

    The key retrieval system isn't working anymore, is there any other way to get a hold on my NS2 alpha key?
