The official statement might not make it completely transparent.

However, whenever a registration code is set-up it requires payment information such as a credit/debit card or Crysta payment.

Having new users set up their codes whilst the game is currently inactivate may cause confusion for those who believe the game is still in operation. Ceasing these billing procedures until the game is activate again saves time and money on support and billing operations that are pretty much unnecessary until the 'launch period' has commenced.


IF do you have a code, or someone else wishes to register one. Simply tell them to hold onto it for now as it will still be valid come Summer/Autumn 2013
