Turbine sucks... -.-

Postby Lirandel » Wed Dec 10, 2008 6:54 pm

Nah . Turbine's got hell to pay... -.-

1)My old account has gone dead apparently cannot log in...

2) Made a new account and activated shadows of Angmar on Turbine's account blah blah with a new log in...

3) But Mines of Moria cannot be activated by my key. I tried both sites (turbines account and the Codemasters/COG.) Eventhough it was quite clear I should activate it on Codemasters COG.

4) Still downloading the massive patch of shadows of Angmar and I believe MoM will have a patch as well...

5) In queue for support - But it is almost certain that I will be able to play shadows of Angmar but not Mines of Moria since it clearly states I either do not have the right key or it states the following (At codemasters...):

"This subscription must be updated with a full product key for the same product."

Why the hell do we need two accounts for playing Lotro... It just doesnt make sense...

Bah -.-

I am going for a walk and hope to find some poor fellow I can beat down... I will ask for forgiveness later...

L is out of here...

That's utterly bizarre...

Your old account, the COG one, should be easily upgradeable... you simply log in, go to your account page, and upgrade the LotRO one with the MoM code.

Yeah... did you try to make an American account by accident? Turbine don't deal with us Europeans at all, so if you went through them you did it wrong...

I just went to my account page, clicked update, entered the code and boom. Sorted.

As for the patch... why didn't you get the MoM disk? Then you can simply install it to patch 2.01, and that leaves only a tiny dl left to go :D

I cannot log into my old account so I can't even reach that upgrade part., I read the manual which states I should go and make a new account on turbine's account forum... I followed the manual...

and as for the Mom disk, Aye I got it and it still needed to patch some it seems...

Just followed what it asked of me

And look where it got me... -.-

Whoops! That was a silly move... But it doesn't matter, I couldn't make it into the game today. Should be able to make it into the game for a couple of hours tomorrow, but we can just give people time to re-settle :). I for one needed a few to re-aquaint myself with the game systems (and the new stuff!).

Just got feedback from support, its the key. it would not work in Codemaster/Cog anyway since its meant for US servers only. I bought the wrong copy... Well the retailer gave me the wrong copy. Hopefully I can switch it.

How come a retailer in europe even sells US versions of game? Man, you should get refounded for that one!

Have asked for forgiveness for my outbursts of wrath, kills and xp... And restored my faith. ;)

Hopefully I will be in Lotro soon, on a new account thought until I get feedback from support concerning my old one.

89? What an odd number... they couldn't just have given you 90? Still, cool!

I can't remember my name... still, I'm now a level 2 Captain. Will see you once I'm out of the intro!

We'll need to organise invites to the guild again. I'm sure you people can deal with that :)

Well. yeah its quite odd indeed, but the prepaid card gives 60 days of free game time and then there is the MoM month to take into account as well <<

*chuckles* As an active officer on Wulfy, I can issue invites to any as needs them. In the meantime, chat channel joining as created by Kelli is probably the way forward.
