Account Key germany ....again...

General Discussion Started Last reply 25 posts
well, can someone (mystrel?) tell me why i can`t buy a single account key just because i live in germany? and plz don`t tell me its because of our law blablabla...thats not true.

direct2drive.com not working.
plaync.com not working
....
the list is long.

I simply don`t want to pay 35€ in a shop here when i can get a key for 10 or 20$ online....that would be plain stupid.

searched about an hour on google for a site that sells me a Key right now....non worked....*cry*
and i am sorry i don`t know anybody in the USA i could trust >_>

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

don`t lock or delete...just answer plz
Try ebay
Direct2drive does not have L2 keys? I thought they have.
Heh BTW I payed for my key 49.90$ buying from L2 site while in US shops game was 29$ ... there was no other option for me to get the code back in C1.

They do, afaik, but when I last checked, they didn't sell to Europe. :confused:
... :mad:
You usually get scammed on ebay though :(

They don't.... Aleast as i view it here in NA.

I had a good experience when I bought an account on ebay. First I did get a serial that was already in use, but the seller promptly sent me a new one, which worked.
But of course, I can't vouch for all the sellers there.
Buy at your own risk :)
direct2drive has country restriction :( when u want to checkout it ask you to put out the items that does not suit your country blabla
I don`t get the point on this.

well i will go on searching. found one site that uses paypal and wants my phone number for varification (another thing which is strange in my opinion...). guess i will order there. 20$ which is about 15€....but i think mystrel does not want me to post that link ;)


did i miss an officail statement from NCSoft about this? can`t remember hearing something about country restriction...even on plaync.com.
At the front page of www.Lineage2.com (http://www.Lineage2.com) there is a text that says Buy Lineage2 and then a German Flag under it.
Click that one, then just click the " Buy Now" button after tha page loads, Then there is a buy a online serial code button. hope it helps.
Eee :eek: They have removed buying it online? even the links that say BuyL2 online leads to a dead end.
I have gotten my serials from there before, What is this supposed to mean NC?
yepp thats my point....links are there but deadend....i don`t get what is the goal here :/

see i am a SK and i soooooo bad need a second account behind me. as a SK soloing without buffs is a waaaay too expensive :(

but at least i see i am not alone with my thoughts :)
Just login to plaync account and add a game? Worked for me (I live in The Netherlands, so we're neighbours).

Else just contact support.
nupp not working...when i click "Buy Code" i come to the same page where L2 is not listed anymore...jsut lineage 1 is in it.

i ll see what the support is going to tell me.
Yesterday I tried to buy online an account key for my girlfriend and I got the same issue too: no Lineage 2 buying option avaible on the PlayNC site... :mad:
here is what they answered o my email:

Thank you for contacting PlayNC Support.

At this time, the option to purchase Lineage II Standard Edition and Lineage II Epic Edition Serial Codes from the PlayNC Store has been made temporarily unavailable. We have no estimated timeframe for when they will be made available again.

If you wish to create a new Lineage II game account, we can only recommend that you purchase a retail box copy of the game instead. If you are in the United States, you may also be able to purchase a serial code online from our online retail partner, www.direct2drive.com. (http://www.direct2drive.com.)

We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

Please let me know if you have any questions on this.

Thanks!

funny about this is...i told them in my email that thes don`t need to tell me i can buy it in a local store because its too epensive. Secondly i told them i am from Germany and now they say IF i am from the US blablalba....come on NCSoft....
Last I heard there was a european version of Direct2Drive, just cant remember the name of it right now :(
I got Deja Vu ... same happened to me cca 1.5 years ago ...
I always get keys from shatteredcrystal.com
i think thats how its spelt anyway.
Everyone i know buys them from there and it works for me in australia.
Isn't it kind of ironic NC makes it hard for people to buy their game :p

Why are they doing this? I hate to cause speculation, but are they canceling the game for NA or something? That email reply sure looks ominous.

OK I looked at the IR stuff from the NCSOFT main site. It looks to me like North America and Europe provide 1/3 of all the Lineage 2 income. Maybe I read the numbers wrong, but if not, that means we are worth quite a bit of money.
have a key now. a little nice online shop in the US sold me one :)

will not post the key here. NC soft would close it for europeans i bet. found the link on l2blah.com. do a search there.

NCsoft wake up ^^
Not unless they sell other questionable items. Though it could seem that way, they aren't against people buying new accounts :p
Im gonna do a bit of board necromancy here.

If I remember right, NCSoft actually CANT point you towards Direct2Drive and other online sources for key codes as this takes away business from their traditional retailers. Atleast, this was the case before though it may no longer be true as your e-mail showed a link to Direct2Drive. It is a business issue, not somthing they do out of spite.
However it is again possible to buy cd keys online from PlayNC. Tried today :)
