Digital Jesters have teamed up with Larian Studios to Launch Special Fan Gift Set!

Digital Jesters have rumbled through the Larian treasure cove and have put together a special bonus pack! There are only 500 of these packs in existance, and each pack contains a Child of the Chaos novella, signed by the none other than the fine lady Rhianna Pratchett! Also as part of this exclusive pack, is a very unique Divinity Universe audio CD, with completely new music, carefully composed, and generously signed, by the talented Kirill Pokrovsky! The audio CD contains remixed tracks from both Divinity and Beyond Divinity. As as special bonus, you will be contacted in person by email, and Kirill Pokrovsky will write a special personalised message on the CD (10 words max).

[color:"orange"] This is a very special offering, never to be repeated! [/color]

Well, THAT is a nice idea ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />


(*drool*) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />


But still I wonder about three things :


- How much will the shipping cost ?

- Can I order the Fan Pack alone, without the game, as well ?

- How would the payment be ?

Worldwide shipping is FREE!

Wish I had a credit card... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Can anyone tell me exactly whats in that cool fan gift set?
Posted By: Nemisis_Dragon Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 05:09 PM
No credit card <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
Is/will there be another shipping choice?
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 05:12 PM
@Neo Claw : Why don't you visit the link ? It's basically a signed audio CD by Kirill and the Book by Rhianna (Leather Raven).
Posted By: NEO_CLAW Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 05:13 PM
I know, but is there not anything else that the CD and the novell?
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 05:17 PM
Ähm, no.

By the way, I'm also a bit frustrated that there are only credit cards allowed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

omfg when i get home to order this (i'm at a public computer now) i hope there are still some left...
Posted By: Polgara Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 06:26 PM
Bah , only sold with credit card <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> . Gess that none of the 500 pieces will come my way then . Pitty
Posted By: Buliwyf Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 07:10 PM
can you just order the bonus pack seperately?

also, there is no STATE field for U.S. customers. all i see is a COUNTY
Posted By: Centurion Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 08:36 PM
I just ordered both the game and gift set a few minutes ago (with credit card), I gather that since the option to buy the gift set is still there that theyre still in stock?

cheers!

I wonder if the winners of the imprunner contest will get this or do we have to order it also.

@Winners
Did any one get thier email yet?
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 08:57 PM
Given the fact that German federal states are more or less the same as U.S. federal states, U.S. publishers should include them, too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
ok, just bought it online, w/ cred cards.
YEA!!!


um, it said something about a special inscription, but I never received that in the pay information???? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Centurion Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 23/04/04 11:03 PM
I think with that you get contacted in a different email <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />

~Cent~
ok then.


I'm just happy I got one of the 500 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

There was an * beside mine saying it was not available <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. Hope this does not mean I was too late.
i just checked again and it worked for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Damn!

The only thing I am interested in is the audio CD. Will it be released seperately?

I ordered, even though there was a (*) saying it was not available. I assumed it was because it was still in production and was only to be available on the eve of April 30. They will only charge on shipping anyway.

Thats what im hoping, Ive got the little (*) in the confirmation email too saying its currently outta stock but thats only for the actual game

~Cent~
i dont think i got any thing like that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Centurion Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 24/04/04 04:36 PM
Hmm, I got this:

Quote
Your order
__________
Please note that any items marked with (*) are currently out of stock
and will not be charged until they are dispatched to you
1 x Beyond Divinity (with Prequel Novel)(*) @ £ 29.99 = £ 29.99
1 x Beyond Divinity Fan Pack @ £ 9.99 = £ 9.99
1 x Delivery to: GBR @ £ 0.00 = £ 0.00



Its just were it has the (*) and it says not currently in stock, check your email see if you had something similar <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" /> mine is only for the actual game and not the fan pack (the reason game has the (*) is because its preorder and hasnt been dispatched)

Just out of interest if something went wrong with hte order from digital jesters would we get an email telling us so? for some reason I cant 'track order' o and did we need to refister at digital jesters main site in order to succesfully place an order?

~Cent~
no, mine doesn't have the * next to it. strange! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Centurion Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 24/04/04 04:45 PM
Same here then, I think that could mean were one of the lucky 500 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />
-if your talking about the fan pack that is, I think you are <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

imho, the fan pack ain't that special
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 24/04/04 06:24 PM
Yes, but for the Germans it's the only way to get the Novella. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Apart from the full English version. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Lynn Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 24/04/04 06:34 PM
Not special?... Well, I don't know. Many people were asking for an audio cd, I think many of those people are very happy. It's surely something you don't wanna miss! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: GoldyLocks Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 24/04/04 09:38 PM
They are both signed by the author, in time that will make them collectors items.
I know IM happy and will finally have the CD!
Posted By: sabine_rak Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 25/04/04 02:31 AM
I ordered the special fan pack earlier (as in some hours ago earlier), but didn't get any kind of * thingee with it. Since I already have a preorder for the game from gamestop (so I can get the free Divine Divinity there), I didn't try ordering the game, so don't know if I would have seen a * with that one.

I'm just glad to be able to get the novella (without having to give up the gamestop offer) *and* the game *and* the Divine Divinity game *and* a soundtrack too! I really liked the music from Divine Divinity (at least what I remember of it being that it seems so long ago that I played and then had to give the game back to my friends) so I'm happy about the soundtrack. Bad thing will be waiting up to 28 days for it to be delivered to the U.S. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

lynn i sent you a pm a day ago about the gift set, and got no response. now i feel it may be too late <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Centurion Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 25/04/04 01:32 PM
28 days ouch! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> I only have the (*) with the actual game preorder - after all the game isnt in stock yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Darn I thought I read 5000

*checks press release*

yep it's 500 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Kejero Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 25/04/04 07:35 PM
Hey, be happy Ms Rhi, not so long ago every COPY was made by hand (not necessarily by the author probably, but let's not get into details), just look at it from that perspective, what's a mere 500 "Rhianna"'s compared to that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Or imagine being lost in the desert while you're doing it! I'd do worse things than that for a water melon in that situation [Linked Image]

well remember, I WILL be getting a copy of your beutiful signature. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> thanks!
Posted By: Chacranajxy Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 25/04/04 07:40 PM
I'm very intrigued. I loved the music from Divine Divinity, and the song from the demo of Beyond Divinity was excellent as well. I can definitely justify buying it but not before I get my hands on a copy of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />.
Posted By: Mslynx Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 25/04/04 08:33 PM
I got mine! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Please Rhi, sign them with LOVE! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" /> Those 500 copies are not just going to the general public, but to hardcore fans! Members of the PIF! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> One and all! I am just thrilled that I will have a signed copy of the novella, and the soon to be coveted CD from Kirill!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />
BTW, I hope we won't have to patch the CD because of the copy right protection! Also, since there are only 500 copies of each, they are already collectors items and very, very rare indeed.
Posted By: janggut Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 26/04/04 01:11 AM
instead of making me happy, i think this news has put me down. really in the pits now. because i don't have a credit card! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> knowing there are divinity music cd that i won't get to enjoy, this is really really sad. & i'm sure that 500 must've dwindled down to .... i don't want to think about it.

not that i don't appreciate your work, ms rhianna, i have yet 2 read any of your work so please forgive me. i'm sure if i do get to read that novella, i will thoroughly enjoy it.

*sigh* there goes my monday. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
yarg,how else do you get somethin' online though?? though I see how the cred card is bad, think of what would happen if I had no parents! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

They can be a very convincing bunch if they are trying. How did they get you to do this? Did they threathen to release the 'release party' photos? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
On the bright side, in 10 years the novella will be a collectors item. An original signed Rhianna... I ordered one too, so that I can be one of the lucky few as well.
* Sends Rhianna a virtual coldpack *

Well I’m going to try and do something a little bit more interesting than just my name if I’ve got the energy! I wish I’d had more time to work on it now, I just hope you guys enjoy the story, especially now that you’re actually having to put cold hard cash down for it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Centurion Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 26/04/04 11:10 AM

Posted By: Lynn Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 26/04/04 11:43 AM
I've read here and there, that some might be confused about the pack.
Here's some more infos:

You can buy the fan gift set without buying <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> (but you do buy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />) Some people might have ordered the game already in their local store, so they have the chance to buy the fan gift set now, without buying the game a second time.

And you can order the fanpack from anywhere in the world.

Hope this helps <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: MasterD_Evil Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 26/04/04 11:51 AM
I hope then that you won't hate me for ordering two fan gifts heh <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Mostly because I want to use one gift as a gift for somebody who really enjoys Kirill's music and likes to read fantasy novel(la)s <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />µ

Now, any idea when they'll be shipped out? (Or when the signing job will start heh) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Hunter Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 26/04/04 12:03 PM
Héhé...

Just ordered mine...I thought it was already too late but there still seems to be some stock.

If you have a bank debit card use that, it should work and will come right out of your account.

Why couldn't there have been a wire transfer? Right from bank to bank? Or a western Union kinda thing, money order,ya know?
Sorry powers that be....Didn't mean to start a ruckus with this post, just some thoughts...Maybe for the future?
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 07/05/04 08:04 PM
Just wanted to note that the new adcvertisement has changed a little bit :

Now it's the novel signed by Rhianna, and the Audio CD unsigned - before that it was vice versa. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Posted By: Lynn Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 07/05/04 09:30 PM
Uh... where did you read that? Both will be signed, each in their special way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
And for those who didn't notice yet: if you click the banners, you'll end up at this page where you can download 2 music samples from the audio cd. It's worth it!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 07/05/04 09:47 PM
Hm, I thought that in the first place the CD would be signed, not the novella.

And now, as I read the banner here in the Forum, it looks to me as if it was the other way round now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Sorry if I had misunderstood that.
Posted By: MasterD_Evil Re: Launch of Special Fan Gift Set! - 07/05/04 09:55 PM
I just listened to the samples and realized once more why I ordered that fan pack. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

If I were a girl, my 10 words would probably be a request for his phone number and/or adres. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
