Has Heart of Winter been released anywhere in Europe yet????
It was supposed to be released on the 9th of March here in Sweden but I still haven't found it anywhere......not even at the larger retailers or on the Swedish online shops......
I wonder why this is.....
What is it like in the U.K...and rest of Europe??? Has it been released and if so.....when was it released???

First of all the release date here was the 9th......then today I found out that it had been moved to the 23rd(still March)......it's the 27th now and I still haven't seen a glimpse of it....where in nine hells is it???

Q: Are there any new character portraits/classes included in How???

17th has been the date here for a while. I didn't see it for a few days after that but got it the following week at any rate.

No new classes. There are a few new portraits but some are those already posted on the website. Good so far though - I mean what do you want from a mission disk? Image

Now I'm starting to get really p*ssed off..... Image
Still no "Heart of Winter" or in Sweden.....it should have been released a couple of weeks ago.....and in different PC-mags and online-shops it says that it has been released.....but where the f*ck is it????
Yesterday I phoned the largest Computer Game retailer in Sweden...they said it had been released but strangely enough they nor anyone else has it in stock......
What shall I do??? Yet another weekend coming up and I had really been looking forward to spending it somewhere in the outskirts of Kuldahar.....
Everything just feels so hopeless.... Image
I want "Heart of Winter" and I want it now..... Image

Please people from Europe tell me when it was released in your countries.......

UK on the 17th my friend. Do you want me to mail you a copy?

And it comes in a DVD case (you know, the plastic ones).

Have you thought about your IWD DVD isssue K?

@Gruntboy: Mail me a copy??? That's not a bad idea actually......I could even send you the cash in pound sterling as I have some dosh left from last time I was in England....

The DVD issue shouldn't be a problem now.....I actually found Icewind Dale CD-ROM version new for around £10 so I bought it straight away.......so now I've got both the DVD and CD-ROM version.....nothing to worry about there in anyway......

Its up 2 U.

If I mail a copy and it appears in the shops before the post gets through, you will be some p*ssed! Image

Also, it is £20 here (a bit of a rip off - IWD was £30) and I'm sure the postage will be something like £3-£5 (even more of a rip off).

What do you reckon? Can you wait? Image

@Gruntboy: No need to mail anything.....finally I have got hold of HoW....and because there was so much hassle and it was so late I could choose an extra game for free....needless to say I chose "Baldur's Gate 2 - Premium Pack".....
Thanks for the offer of mailing me the game in anyway.....it's good to know that there are friends that one can count one when trouble arises.......I'll probably need some help with the game later on so your knowledge in "Winter Warfare" should come in handy..... Image
Once again....thanks a lot....
