Yes, if you buy the retail pack you get 5 codes you can redeem in the "my profile" page. If you already have an account it will add the gems and special items to that account. Haven't tried to install the game on my computer, only used the codes myself. So for an answer to that question maybe someone else will know better, but I don't think it will be a problem.
thanks for your help shelob81 :-)
i was just wanting to use the codes as well i dont want to install the game
I think many people don't want to install the game, but I guess having a client as opposed to playing in the browser makes the game run smoother. Personally, I'm happy with the browser option, and buying gems online when I can afford to. Having the disc will just use up space at home, collecting dust.
Maybe they should just sell a card with the codes on instead, like some other online games do.
the disc has a few wallpapers on it and basically plants a bookmark on ur desktop if u install no game to install as its browser based.. i threw my discs and boxes in the bin after i used the codes .. way to go BB on recycling front
lol i wonder what the carbon footprint of the box is after all the designing, printing, packaging, delivery etc etc when all we wanted is an email-able codeQuote:

And as Settlers is a popular series of games ( I have bought the first 4 games ), this would attract those who enjoyed the previous ones. :-)
Yeah why cant we just get the codes the same way we purchase Gems????
2 to 5 week wait when it can all be done in a few clicks of a mouse.
where can I see the box set? what is it?
