Majesty II Collection?

[Weijun]

I noticed a new icon for Majesty II Collection under My Games. Is this the same as Majesty Complete or an upcoming release?

Thanks! I guess the Collection and Complete are two different things, then. Looks like the same issue as the Elven Legacy Bundle and Collection.

No mention of Majesty II Collection on GamersGate, yet. Come to think of it, this has been a problem for every release in the Majesty 2 series. I really wish GamersGate would actually list the game a few weeks before it is actually released. I love their alerts, but they do not work for games they do not list.

So, what is the difference?

So, what is the difference?

Complete costs $49.95, includes Majesty Gold (the original + expansion pack) but not the Majesty 2 DLC, and does not get you a forum icon. Considering that Majesty gold goes for $4.95 on GamersGate, Majesty II Collection will be a much better value at $19.99. Waiting a couple more days for it should be a no-brainer.

With this collection you get not only all expansions, but also all the in-game store content is included. Plus it is just one installer.

Does it also include the stuff from the gold edition?

I just bought the Majesty 2 Collection on Gamersgate, I get 5 products
- Majesty 2 Battles of Ardania Expansion
- Majesty 2 Kingmaker Expansion
- Majesty 2 Monster Kingdom
- Majesty 2 The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
- Majesty Gold Edition

I need to download them seperately so it doesn't look like 1 installer. I also can't find a CD-key for the collection. It only gives a CD-key for, Majesty 2 The Fantasy Kingdom Sim.

Kallocain said there are two "Collections" out: the official Collection that was just now announced, with the base game, all of the expansions, and all of the DLC. And something that various retailers have called "Collections" which is essentially a bundle of all games, but does not include the forum key, and also does not include the DLC. She said to be extra careful and check if the DLC is included, otherwise it's not the proper "Collections". Veld, I'm afraid you bought the wrong Collections...

Another lessen to learn in marketing I guess, after "EU3 Complete"... we get tons of questions if EU3 Chronicles is better than EU3 Complete...

That's another game, so no.

I checked before I bought it and on Gamersgate they showed this box.

This GG collection only became available today, it costs 19,95 euro. So this must be the Collection that Paradox announced. Or else, GG is playing tricks.


EDIT
No I didn't make a mistake. On Gamersgate it is listed as this (it is called the Majesty 2 Collection Bundle). They say it includes these products
Majesty 2 The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
Majesty 2 Battles of Ardania Expansion
Majesty 2 Kingmaker Expansion
Majesty 2 Monster Kingdom Expansion

Yet when I go the details of my order (where it says it is the Majesty 2 collection) I get these products
- Majesty 2 Battles of Ardania Expansion
- Majesty 2 Kingmaker Expansion
- Majesty 2 Monster Kingdom
- Majesty 2 The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
- Majesty Gold Edition

EDIT
Majesty Gold is an extra

But I see no mention of the DLC.

 

[Kallocain]

The collection (that we call the collection) is not available at any download portal right now. Only in a box. What differs is the stuff from the in-game store.
We are trying to get this sorted asap!

 

[gigau]

Will it be availlable on GameplayOutlet ? please ? pretty please ? with a chery on top ?

 

[TheLoneGunman]

I've got a similar issue to Veldmaarschalk.

So please keep me updated as to what is going on as well.

 

[Kallocain]

I have sent collection codes to gamersgate now, so you should be able to register the collection shortly at least.
The in-game store item will be a little longer since gamersgate have to code the fix in place. I expect it for next week.

I just want to know, if I buy the GamersGate collection currently available on GamersGate, I will receive Majesty 2 gold, all expansions, and all in-game store content? I just want to make a 100% sure.

Edit: Until the gold offer of 25th of april lasts naturally, and I am aware that is something GamersGate does themselves in addition to the collection.

 

[SAS]

so is the collection that veld purchased the correct one?

I hope Kallocain checks this thread today, because I doubt anybody's going to see it in the weekend and Monday the offer ends.
