Please help us make GOG.com a better place and get Realms of Arkania 1+2 for free.

Short version:
1. Complete the survey below.
2. Enter your correct e-mail address.
3. Get a copy of Realms of Arkania 1+2 sent to you via mail next week.
4. If you own RoA 1+2 you can gift it to a friend!

Long version:
The GOG.com Annual Gamer Survey is now our yearly tradition, so once again we ask that you spare 5 minutes of your time and help us make your favorite digital distribution platform a better place. Taking part in it isn't mandatory of course, but recommended if you want to have your share in making GOG the best digital distribution service there is.

Filling out the GOG.com Gamer Survey 2012 does not only guarantee you lifelong happiness but also grants you a free copy of Realms of Arkania 1+2. When completing the survey, enter your e-mail address and we'll be sending you codes for Realms of Arkania 1+2 next week, after the survey is completed. If you already own Realms of Arkanie 1+2, the code can be gifted as well.

Grab a pencil... er, a keyboard in your hands and answer the questions below for a better future mankind (with the exeption of non-gamers), and expect a special gift from GOG.com in your mailbox in a few days. Remember that all the small red " * " stars mark the questions that are required.

[i]The survey ends on Monday, September 17 at 9:59 AM GMT. We will start sending out codes for Realms of Arkania 1+2 after all the entries are processed.

Mangodj: Hey, I got a key from the survey, and decided to give it to a friend, but it says the key have already been used? Is it an error or do I have to use the games myself? is it already locked to my account?
If one user enters the code on the /redeem page, only to see if it's valid and without redeeming, the code still gets locked for a short period of time to that user's account. Please wait approx. 10 minutes before retrying and it should work fine.

If you will continue to experience problems with redeeming the code, please contact our support and they will be happy to help.

It shouldn't really, this new redeeming system is live for quite some time actually. Also, previously you could have a situation where 100 people would enter the code at the very same time, get excited that it's valid, finally click redeem and then receive an error message because somebody was faster. There were also issues with this during high load on the website.

In the new scenario, the moment the first person enters a valid code, the code gets locked for a short period of time that will guarantee this person to redeem the game. However, if that person does not redeem the code or will close the website, the code gets free again.

Thanks GOG! You are my only game buying site pretty much.

I guess that explains it then. There was an *incident* several weeks ago where a code for Myst 5 was posted in the Ninja Giveaway thread. I posted the code to see what it was (I didn't know it was Myst 5), saw it was valid, but was not really interested to redeem it, so I just closed the (Firefox) tab. Other GOGer trying to redeem it got a message that either it was not valid or it was redeemed already (can't remember which one). I felt it was strange, so I posted the code again and unexpectedly redeemed it (thinking that the process would fail since the code was declared invalid or redeemed already by that other GOGer).

Wow, I completely missed this one. I don't need the game, but I would like to participate in the survey. Are you still taking entries?
Posted September 29, 2012
Yeah, I just double-checked my spam folder for the days around the 24th when the e-mail was sent out as well as searching for anything from GOG and there's nothing. It just didn't show up somehow. I'll try getting in touch with support and see if that helps.

I guess you should activate it directly from email you've received. Or try this link https://secure.gog.com/en/redeem
