a) Piracy is bad.

b) LAN's shouldn't be a problem if you play it locally. If you're playing it online, you may run into problems (since most games have checks for CD-Keys these days). Also there might be issues with port-forwarding etc regarding your router.

If you plan on playing online in a server just for you and your friends, try a network emulator like Hamachi to avoid those problems.

Therem are ways to play online with an illegal cd key.

Unfourtuanalty if you cannot find it yourself then your looking in the wrong places.

Anyway using illegal cd keys is wrong.

Sorry if i do offend anyone but im a PB admin and do not tollarate hacking or illegal use of a game.
