This puzzle might be important in case you want to participate in the next big Puzzlemania event.

[14.05] Hint #1. When designing this puzzle I made one assumption: something that depending on the context sometimes can be of type 1 and sometimes of type 2, in this puzzle is always considered to be of type 1.

[14.05] Hint #2. The encryption method that is used is a very famous one, so there should not be a problem with this. The only thing you should understand after you figure out the encryption method is how it is applied here.

bump for not even knowing what i'm looking for here!

Got 3 4 ideas for future puzzles (still working on the last3rd one, it makes sense)

OH NO ITS A PUZZLE COMMENT !!
There were 6 Penalators who tried to amass the wealth enough for 3 Ero Langas. Its was hardly a difficult task as they possessed the most important item in the region, the Derko Rentu. They set out to sell the item but were ambushed by the Quenn of TrokoRana. They were all killed at the same place as the Intre Inken the enternal bard of the 7 counties of Rutentor which was ruled by 3 different factions.
Please reply if you have the redeemed the code.

Thank you for the puzzle comment, but I already own this one. Anyway, no time to explain.

I thought I was on to something, but I guess I was wrong or just not following it up in the right way.

I am really confused that nobody solved it yet. Seems like many players take a rest from puzzles or something.

It doesn't involve any of the easier encryption methods, but rather a very specific form of encryption and you won't give many hints (which is your full right of course), so I guess you have to wait for someone to come along who will recognize this type of encryption. It's too vague for me to research, though it feels like I've seen something similar like the line you added.

That is because it isn't a chess problem, or I'm completely off track here. :P
I know I've done very few puzzles lately, besides making my own.

Well, with these 2 hints many people who are familiar with Puzzle Agency events could solve it easily.

bump for solved the second one but for some reason I cannot get the first one...

am i the only one that still doesn't understand how to solve it?

Nope, as far as I know only two people have solved it so far.

Is this where we guess? Or is there a Steam group for it?

Everything you need is at this page. Also, you will most probably have to use google at some point.

It's good that you have some ideas, but note that this is an individual puzzle with the corresponding rules applied, i.e. do not share anything with other players.

In the end you should find a 5-letter code that would bring you to the invite-only GA. The format is: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX/ where X is an alpha-numberic character. Please, refer to this guide to learn more about SG puzzles.

I've been trying for half an hour and the only thing I got was a headache :(

It is a Puzzlemania event implying that the symptoms you describe are automatically included in the package :)

I'm also surprised not to see more of the "usual suspects" to solve this puzzle. Maybe not interested in these gifts?
It's also possible that the encryption method is not as well known as you supposed.

I'm on it but I'll focus more on it this week end since week are a bit rough actually. Looking of the text like that I've no real idea of the encryption method. I tried some things that didn't worked. I already on the 2 games but there is something more important! This puzzle might be important in case you want to participate in the next big Puzzlemania event. That's enough motivation.

It's probably not as well known as he thinks or we're just not seeing it for what it is supposed to be.

It's well known cipher which has 2 common types, but ercalote uses only 1 of them. This cipher ain't just encoding message but also usually hides message itself. 4xmpl, it hides 2 GAs in 2 sentences of this post.
Maybe, if you use guide that ercalote already gave you'll eventually find proper cipher (well known, 2 types, encodes&hides) and figure out how to use it.
@ercalote: I don't give any additional info, I just rephrase what you already gave, but if you want I can delete this comment.

This gives strength to my fifth idea for a puzzle, but I am still missing part/hint 2 :/
EDIT: One more step into the right direction. This is what it is. But I need to know how it is

Solution: it was a baconian code, where a vowel = A, a consonant = B. Letter 'Y' that is sometimes treated as a vowel, and sometimes as a consonant, was always treated as a vowel in this puzzle. Capitalization mattered only when it was not the first letter of the sentence.
