A new Unreal Engine 4 Harry Potter MMO on Kickstarter.
100k stretch goal though, uh..

Risks and challenges

Taking on such an ambitious production brings forth many risks and challenges our team is required to face. One major obstacle is the amount of detail and attention the game requires to make sure it exceeds the fans expectations. To accomplish this goal we have brought on a team of specialist in the Harry Potter universe who have tackled and designed the game to not only match the expectations but to go beyond them. We plan to welcome new members who specialize in the universe, and have the skills and knowledge to ensure this MMO fits the style, the image and the story going 110% beyond.

Yup, those are the only risks. Jesus with that amount of effort they may as well have slightly altered everything and made it an original world.

Can i buy a rus evolve with vpn and play it in eur? i risk the block or something else?

You risk having your account restricted. Essentially, you'd be able to play your current games but would be unable to add to your library (no purchasing, gift activation, and so on).

There's a difference between having bought them from any other source and redeeming them, and using a vpn to access the steam store to make a purchase.

Forever. The only time an account restriction is temporary is when you do a chargeback or there is an issue with payment; in these cases you can choose to ignore the matter and full functionality will be restored automatically after nine weeks. And, yes, buying gift copies from cheaper regions is no longer an option (the change didn't affect retail keys).

Since last year, yes. Only exception are 4 packs because the three gifts aren't restricted. But most games don't offer those and some publishers even removed them because of this (Dying Light).

Even those days are gone. Valve finally closed the loophole that allowed people to buy multi-packs and other "non-giftable" items.

Unless you are building a cockpit for a racing/flight simulator, I would stay away from those 'gaming' chairs that you listed.


Great Chairs:

Herman Miller Aeron

The industry standard for years, the Aeron is still one of the best office chairs ever offered. The chair comes in multiple sizes to conform to all body types. And with a multitude of options to further meet the specific needs of each person. HM have introduced a new flagship chair in the Embody, but I found that the Aeron is still the better choice. The only downsides to this chair is that aesthetically, the large oval shape is a bit overbearing in any home setting, so I would place it in an office instead of in front of a computer located in a more public area.

Eames Soft Pad

The original Aluminum Group Management chair which this is based on is a work of art, but I found that the comfort is a bit lacking after a few hours. If you only sit in a chair for 2-3 hours at a time, you would be better served purchasing that instead of the Soft Pad version. If you sit for a bit longer, the Soft Pad is the better choice. Also unlike the Aeron, the Soft Pad is aesthetically pleasing so it can be more freely placed in a house. I would note that this chair doesn't have adjustable arms, nor are they padded; so you would be sacrificing utility for aesthetics.

*It should be noted that the Herman Miller warranty for their chairs is 12 years.

Budget choice:

IKEA Markus


An ersatz combination of HM's Embody shape and the Aeron's mesh backing, the Markus is actually a pretty decent budget option. The ten year warranty is also a great addition for such a low cost chair. I would warn you that most other chairs in this price range are disposable items whose covers will begin to fray and wear within the year and you should not be surprised if a major component breaks down within a year or two.
Click to expand...
Trouble is that I'd really like a headrest aswell as an adjustable back... :|

Decisions decisions...

Edit: And then there's the fact that the Aeron and the HM is too darn expensive. 200 odd pounds is my maximum, and the GT Omega... Master or something like that seems to be more or less the best I can get in that price-range. High quality build, leather, adjustable backrest, armrest and the base and the entire internal structure is metal too... And the wheels don't damage hardwood floors. It seems pretty darn good for the price, but... Meh, decisions. :p

You could buy a key from Nuuvem for roughly USD$31.

Bloodborne was never going to be a complete turd, like the order. The question is really if it'll be on par with Demon and Dark Souls, or if it'll be on par with DS2.

Actually, apparently it works again. Weird. I experimented with a bunch of four-packs a little while back and they all resulted in the generic "There has been an error initialising your transaction" error whereas items that are officially giftable went through just fine.

Edit: Tried again with a non-giftable four-pack and, yeah, it wouldn't take.

btw games from nuuvem are all euro? what version of evolve i should buy?

The vast majority are either region-free or just require a VPN for activation (Valve turns a blind eye to VPNs being used for key activation). The games you want to avoid are listed here.

Edit: Fixed link.

Not as far as Valve is concerned, presumably because it doesn't see a cent from retail key activations. Russian keys for Evolve are heavily region-locked, anyway, so unless you want to connect to a VPN every time you go to load it up, you're better off sticking with Nuuvem.

anyway r is the same of brl of currency? (i cant un dersdtand how to use that website...is evolve region free or not lockable?)

Nuuvem's Evolve keys are completely region-free.

Using a VPN to access a different region of the steam store, purchasing a game, and activating it, may cause your account to be restricted indefinitely.

Using a VPN to activate a key (not bought on the steam store) which is region locked, has never caused anyone (that we know of) to have their account restricted.

Nuuvem uses reals, or BRL, which you can convert to your own currency using the current exchange rate. You require a VPN to purchase on Nuuvem. Popular choices are Hola Unblocker or FlyVPN.


also JaseC there's an extra h at the beginning of your link.

Osiris 4pack does not need a glitch to be bought as gift. It's normally available for purchase as gift.
Click to expand...

Oh, didn't even notice that, haha. What an amusing oversight. I tried the loophole with another four-pack and, yeah, Steam's checkout system spits the dummy.

There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.

March is close, and hopefully a Lightning Returns release date for the Steam version will pop up.
I have no expectation for the port but somewhere in my heart I hope SE would surprise me.

What did you even mean by 'eperimenting'? Trying to buy a Russian 4pack?

I'm in and/but hope it doesn't bite him in the butt, as he mentions himself GAF is MUCH bigger and easier to get into than it was around Sequence's release.
