14 day trial and RoK...Can't play.

Arthros · 11-10-2007, 02:20 AM

So I wanted my son to have a separate account and started him with a 14 day trial in late Oct (24th I believe). He is interested in playing with me but I'm having big issues with the account.

1) I have purchased 3 months throught SOE

2) I downloaded the game through the 14 day trial system and he started as the only selectable race the fae.

3) I purchased a pre-order RoK through D2D and have a reciept but not a expansion number.

Now the 14 day trial is up, I can't seem to log onto the charater created during the trial because he is Fae and I don't have the EoF expansion pack. I've purchased the pre-order RoK expansion but I can't get a code to use to at least let me son play. It's my understanding the RoK has all the expansions included so I should be good to go but I can't seem to log in an play a fae at present.

I'm not sure when the official launch date is for RoK (soon I hope since they are already selling preorders through D2D) but I can't see paying money for EoF just to play for 7-14 days until the expansion launches. I already have purchased the preorder and paid for 3 months of play. I simply want the account to work until the content of RoK comes out...any suggestions?

This is the unfortunate truth with the 'Pre-Order'. "Pre" being the key prefix in this sentence/word. I think semantically SoE should have allowed people to let the 'charge' occur on their form of payment for the digital pre-order 'all-in-one' options. Then allow pre-existing content to be downloaded and activated. This is where your son's problem lie.

.

The ALL-In-One aspect of this is not broken, nor is it falsified, it just doesn't become active until the 'live' date or release date of Ruins of Kunark (expansion). Thus, the DoF, KoS, EoF, (All adventure packs), and ultimately RoK will not be available until RoK is unveiled on the servers. As has been mentioned, Tuesday, Nov. 13th. The good news, this is but days away,.. The bad, the downtime will probably be considerable during the transition. However, there is no need to contact SoE over this matter, and further the Digital Downloads typically do not require a 'key'. Some do have a 'single' key that you enter that flags all content 'enabled' for the account, and the patcher (launcher) will download everything. ((Which can take quite a while)), even if you have the content from a download you completed , due to updates and changes since the content that may have been downloaded being updated since inception or organization of the 'file(s)/Archive'.

Soon you guys will be playing together, with everything active and golden.

Hope this helps,
