I just received my pre-order from Gamstop today, and I tried to use the serial key to activate my account but it says that the key is not active yet...I'm assuming this is a regular retail version; therefore, the key will not work until tomorrow...though I did pre-order the game, so I should have headstart...so yeah...anyone know what I can do? Besides wait until tomorrow I mean :P

Have you made an account  prior to headstart ie, when you pre-ordered aion from Gamestop they would of given you a disk with an access code to CBT/OBT and headstart. The actual game key is not needed till tomorrow.  However if you have already made an account then you should be able to log in.

Yep, you need to wait for the game to go live before you can enter the code.

Yes, if you picked up a retail copy on 9/21 the key will not be activated until 9/22. If you had a pre order code that was to get you into the beta weekends and gives you access to the head start. I believe they gave you 24 hours to enter a retail code after the head start is over.
