Hello folks,

 

I have registered a Pre-Order code and currently have an Aion account labeled "Pre-Order". I just got the Collector's Edition full game and want to activate it. Now, do I just use "add serial code" and trust the account to be linked to my pre-order? Or, do I go to the pre-order account and pick upgrade?

 

Thanks!

Also, when is launch? And, how is the headstart? I am reluctant to try headstart in case it wants me to upgrade account and im not sure how.

Any help?

ty!

I would go to the pre order and select upgrade to be on the safe side. Provided the pre order was for the collector's edition u got.

As far as i know the pre-orders the store had were the same for both the Collector's Ed and the regular one.

Ok, if you have not created a play ncsoft master account you should do that first. If you had a pre order code and didnt use it then you missed out on the head start. So make sure u are registered. Yes once you "upgrade" your account is activated for the 30 days.

Thankyou Ad-am.

 

Yes I have had a PlayNC account ever since the release of City of Villains :) And, I have a pre-orede already so in theory could have joined ther headstart but was worried about this account thing and didn't want to even install the game unitl I knew what i was doing.

In the past with CoV and adding stuff I have done it with "upgrade account" which is why I thought that would be the way to do it with Aion. But, until you replied I had found no-one at all that said upgrade was the way to go and even the quick-start guide says "Add Serial Code".

 

Thankyou again :)

No problem. Glad I could help. Either way, I think once you added your serial code it would have recognized it as being Aion and upgraded regardless of the option.

Well it looks like im just about the only person worrying about upgrade or serial. You think therefore that the Serial will sort itself out?

And, just another litte question: I have the pre-order accoutn but never logged in during Beta or headstart. I still will be able to get the bonus items though?

 

Thanks Ad-am

I'm sure you'll have to register using the pre-order serial number to get the items.

Listen though, apparently people are running into huge problems after upgrading their pre-order accounts to retail accounts.  Once they do, there's some glitch that suspends their account.  For the time being, only use your pre-order serial number and DON'T ENTER THE RETAIL SERIAL until it's sorted out.

Another MMO casualty. Played WoW, ffxi, WAR and LOTRO for months. Managed to play Aion for 2 weeks before having to be hospitalized for severe boredom.

Trouble eh?

I might wait a while before activating then.
