QUOTE
Ok so do I need a DVD in my drive to play?
Not necessarily. You need one of the following three statements to be true:
1) an active internet connection, OR
2) the DVD in the drive, OR
3) you bought the game on STEAM or Direct2Drive
So if I bought the game on STEAM or Direct2Drive, I won't need a DVD or an active internet connection to play?
Correct.
Is the DVD protected in some way?
If you buy the retail release then the game uses SecuROM protection when you create or transfer your account to verify your media. Once you're online you do not require the media to play. If you're playing offline you will need to validate the media.
Is this like the Windows product activation? Will I have to reactivate if I change my hardware? What if I reformat?
No, you won't. You can reformat your computer as often as you like, and change as many hardware components as you want. This will not affect your online account in any way.
Can I install the game on multiple machines?
Yes. You can only play it on one machine at a time, but you can install it on as many PCs as you like.
What happens if I forgot my password?
You can either use an in-game option to reset it, or you can call customer support.
Can I have multiple accounts?
Only if you buy multiple versions of the game. One account per CD key.
What's all this key transfer stuff?
Unless you are planning to buy a used version of CoH or sell your version (say on eBay for instance), this won't affect you. The transfer rules are supposed to ensure that if you buy the game from someone you actually get to play it, since the CD key is tied to the seller's online account.
What if I own the game but I don't have a Relic Online (RO) account yet?
Not a problem, you can create one with either CoH or CoH:OF.
I'm planning on buying the combo of CoH/OF if Steam offers such a package at a low price (which they usually do). I have CoH already. Would I be able to use my old account with the new CD keys I have?
You will be able to use your original account(s) with OF.
Does the one in bold says i need to be online to play OF's skirmish?
