Hey guys,

Alright, well I pre-ordered the collectors edition of WAR a few days ago. This of course allows for open beta and early entry access. So, today about a few minutes ago, GameStop finally e-mailed me back, I was getting excited. I open the e-mail, and here is what it reads:

(I blocked out the code they gave me)

Dear Customer,

Here is your unique code for Age of Conan XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Please visit http://register.ageofconan.com
And enter your unique key.

This Key unlocks

The in game item.

The three day early access

Best regards,

Gamestop.com

My mouth dropped open, I was like "wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute! ... What?" I've now replied back to them, asking if this was a mistake. And the funny thing is, is that I supplied them with my Order #, and I even replied with the actual order invoice. How the heck did they mistake Warhammer Online with Age of Conan? Well, I now have an Age of Conan key, unless they somehow make it unusable after this.

It just made me laugh, but I hope I get my WAR keys. Ugh.

Hmm seems to be marketing genius on the part f AoC. Not only do they get their own fanbois but by sending in corporate Ninjapirates they are substituting preorders of their rivals with their own preorder codes.

As I said genius.

Damn that's nice. Now you will, most likely, get a WAR trial key and an AoC one! Must feel nice for you. We all love when someone does a minor "screw-up" resulting in you gaining an additional benefit.

Small update,

GameStop hasn't gotten back to me yet.

~~And I will admit, today I did try to use the AoC key just for shits n' giggles, and to my surprise, it said: "This key was not found, or is already in use."~~ The AoC key, I'm not sure about it yet... I thought it was deactivated, but I think I entered it in the wrong site...oops (I'm retarded). The registration site seems to be down for maintenance right now though. We'll see.
