Online Key Buy Page - PlayNC

General Discussion Started Last reply 10 posts
Why can't I purchase a game code for other account (trial out)?

None of the online stores have the game, and none of the stores around here have it. Now I get a 404 everytime I click the link to buy the game online.

Prolly doesn't matter, cause I don't think you can buy it with Visa anyways.

I hope I didn't waste time/XP leveling another toon just to not be able to get the account up after the trial because the game is extinct in stores/online...

What gives?
Go to any GameStop most carry PlayNC cards which work for any NCSoft game also they include trail keys for every NCSoft game also.
A trial key won't work on an account that just finished a trial. You need a CD key out of a box, or from NCSoft. Buying a game card will just have me sitting in the corner wondering "Umm, so what do I do with this useless thing?"

NCSoft should not require purchase of a box code if they cannot sell them [at all - or to people with a Visa card]. Just activate subscription and use game cards. I already had to drive 80 miles to get a box to activate first account, I'm not about to drive 317 to the nearest store with one to activate another one.
I buy game codes with Visa. Never had any problems. I have a trial account withe 3 days left on it. I'll see if there's a problem too. Hope not !
You cannot activate a trial account with a game card...

Here's the email from NCSoft...

----------------------------

Hi there!

This email is to inform you that your Lineage II free trial period has concluded.
As a result, you will not be able to log into the game and play until
you have purchased a Lineage II retail code. You may either purchase an online
code here: https://secure.plaync.com/cgi-bin/Store.pl or buy the boxed
version at your local gaming store.



Once you have a retail code, you can go to
https://secure.plaync.com/cgi-bin/plaync_login.pl and do the following:


1. Supply your account name and password as requested and hit submit.

2. Hit the reactivate button next to your game account.

3. Enter your retail serial code and then follow the instructions
for reactivating your account.

As soon as you're done you should be able to play the game once again.

Regardless of whether you reactivate your account or not we hope you
enjoyed your Lineage II free trial. Thank you for trying NCSoft's games!

Hrm... Nevermind, the page is working now...
Maybe I just needed to reboot and/or clear cache. I dunno. I feel stupid. Ugh...

Yes, refreshing the page or reloading it often helps.
Careful with refreshing when you have opened an SSL session to page, so you do not purchase the game code twice :p

Good point.
I did actually have the password page in my mind when I typed it but you're spot on.
