Is it worth buying combined arms now?

Hi,
I used to own JOTR, but I dropped it for a while because of school. Now, I'd like to get back into it, but am not sure if I want to blow money on it. Basically, are there still people playing it online? I don't want ot buy it and then just play the singleplayer all the time.

Thanks,
t_achim

I believe it's still active with possibly 1000+ players - I'm not sure.

Welcome to NHQ.

Cool, just ordered it!

Also, is it possible to play over LAN with >1 copy of the game without different cd-keys? My friend's hosting a small lan party, and we thought that this would be a good game to play.

sorry no with lan you need more then on keycode for each computer its install into.

JOTR & JOTR:E and DF: Xtreme both setup for use of their own Keycode for each computer system

all so you would need a internet connect to play lan to log-in to play it. no bypass option.

I was under the impression [from when I played before] that you used the cd-key to set up the online account, and only logged into the account when you wanted to play on NovaWorld. Guess I was wrong

for each system each player have to log-in their very own account with novaworld. as for the keycode the game has it build right into it so if one system trys to play with another system and the keycode match each other will be blocked.

Does JO check with novaworld regarding whether or not the cdkey with which the game was installed with is valid before joining/hosting a LAN game; i.e. do you have to login to novaworld before playing a lan game?

Sorry if these questions are annoyingly specific .

yes

but keep inmind when you make a account up or add a keycode (JOTR, JOTR:E, DFX) to your novaworld account only use low case keys other wise you get a message the keycode is already in use.

dummie at novalogic or novaworld goof on this part

sample only way: dsfd744fes98se4f898se4ff46s4f8es

no space or ---- in it
like: dfsd4f-54fds-sfed4-4fd6-sdf4-lkes

will not work get a error

for LAN all must log-in for JOTR family, DF: Xtreme

they did this to fight other from pirating their software onto other system. One Keycode pre-system.

Ps they no longer use PunkBuster paid service for the game JOTR family, you have to change the files in the game so it will work right.

It may be possible to all log into one NW account and use different characters - but NovaWorld might not allow that happening at the same time. :/
