Just a heads-up.

To those who have the game on 360, the Zombie Island expansion is now available. At least 50 new quests/missions and 5 new achievements, bringing the total to 1125.

PS3 owners, I would imagine it's either available today, or it will be available on Thursday (Turkey Day).

For PC version owners, no date announced yet, but it has been confirmed for release.

Zombie Island just came out for the PC today with a $10 price tag. I saw on the Steam page this one also has SecureROM on it, so you can only activate the expansion five times.

I don't know if I'll be buying it or not. I've finished the game twice with my soldier, just finished it the first time through with Lilith and got most of the way through with my hunter.

Additional Spam:
Cool, apparently the patch they put out this morning may install SecurROM on Steam versions of Borderlands that don't even have the DLC: NeoGAF - View Single Post - Borderlands | The Official Thread - More guns than the population of the Netherlands

And here comes another one!!

Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, the second expansion for Borderlands, is now availaboe on Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 MSP. PS3 owners either get it today or Thursday, not really sure, what with the holidays and all that.

For the achievement hunters out there, there are 5 new ones, bringing the total to 1250.


Part of me is anxious to play it when I get home, but at the same time, I heard if you leave at any point before completing all 3 challenges, or whatever it is, you would have to start over. Again, this is a rumor, so don't quote me on it.

I decided to pick this one up in the sales (on 360) so if there's anyone about in a few days time (I'll be back home on Friday at some point) and fancies doing some co-op then give me a shout.

Hit me up sometime, OP. I'm usually down for some bordering of lands, and I still need to get the achievements for being a Soldier and Berserker if I had to make a new character for you.

Awesome, this sounds like a plan. I'll hit you up at some point in a few days time. Apparently Mo0 has recently acquired the game too, so maybe we can get him involved too. :)

Nutty, Yeldarb, and Zeroslash/RealPT1 also have it, and we've all got that viral achievement for playing with a Gearbox employee thanks to Zero. We should be able to assemble a team pretty easily.

Yeah, apparently, the checkpoints are after every 5 ROUNDS, which means 25 waves. Basically meaning this: if you lose on let's say, Round 8, you have to start at Round 6, from what I've read.

This is definitely not an easy expansion compared to Zombie Island.

I recently bought Borderlands, and unfortunately none of my friends have it. I dunno if it's just me but it seems extremely hollow in single player. I'd be very interested in joining some of you in co-oping it if you don't mind. The only problem is, I'm in Australia so I reckon time zones may clash but maybe we can work something out.

It definitely helps to have people to play with, especially so that you can get into dune buggy and dueling hijinx with each other. But another thing I noticed is that the first part of the game is fairly slow, because the game focuses on character building, kind of like Diablo 2 or Torchlight. Once your build starts doing what you intended it to do, it becomes a lot more fun.

What system do you have it on?

Coincidentally, I started playing Torchlight just before Borderlands. I found that pretty compelling from the start but Borderlands...not so much. It just seems like it was designed with multiplayer in mind.

I have it on 360.

I still have my level 50 Soldier on my 360. For the PC, none yet.

Probably some time if you're inclined, we can play.

If that was directed at me then thanks, that would be great!

So have any of you PC players been having this problem?

Sometimes I can play for a couple hours or so with no issues, other times I can't go more than ten minutes. Once I didn't even make it to the title screen. Also, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Borderlands, and since then I can't use my Zombie Island DLC anymore. I go to the Jakob's Cove loading screen and it asks me to activate it with the serial number. When I do it the progress bar goes to 30% and stops, giving me an error asking me to make sure my serial number is entered right. It's impossible that it's not because I copied it to the clipboard through Steam. Whether I hit retry or manual, the game crashes and I get that error.

I've tried using the DLCSetup in the Steam folder, and it acts like it works, but nothing changes. Any suggestions?

I've not experienced that, but back up your save files, delete the local content, and try re-downloading the game.

Tried that. Twice, in fact. I've tried compatibility mode, running as admin, reinstalling drivers, I've even heard windowed mode helps, but it's all the same.

Did you buy the DLC?

Yes, I did. Probably my first mistake. secuROM ruins everything.

Don't worry, it's on your computer even if you didn't buy the DLC!

Just when I thought I was done with Borderlands it seems they're going to be pulling ne right back in again soon. There's new DLC on the way and it's going to increase the level cap. Gearbox have apparently said that this is the biggest DLC they've done to date. If it's as fun as the existing DLC (and avoids Moxxi's crazy time requirement) then I'm 100% sold.

You can definitely count me in if it's something with a story like Zombie Island. Mad Moxxie didn't interest me at all, but Dr. Ned was some of the best DLC ever.

FORSOOTH, KNAVES
