That and, if people buy the digital upgrade to "fix" the problem, then if SE finally implements a real fix to those of us with this problem they'll have ANOTHER problem on their hands with players saying "But I bought the digital upgrade because I thought I had to!!". Don't exacerbate the problem.

Also, bump.

we arent on the first page anymore

My plan is, if I don't hear back from SE tomorrow, I'm going to sell my code to a friend for $20 and buy the digital upgrade to break even.

This is what I did, £15 for a CE for him and I'm not out of pocket.

A good suggestion if no other solution shows up...

What's really annoying is they haven't stated WHY it's not possible. I just don't see how they can't add a simple code onto my account. It's not even like I get a free copy of the game, I didn't buy 1.0 I only played on a free trial.

Whenever support gets back to me I figure I'll give them these options: Either they somehow add my CE code to my account, or I create a new account with the code and they transfer my character and my Crysta over.

Those seem fair right?

thats about what i am gonna do, while im sitting on hold with their customer support. when i finally get someone just going to see if they can upgrade my account if i give them my cd key + order number since i bought it off their website... if not i am going to raise so much hell...

Guys, this problem has affected me as well, and here's what I did, and I think you should all do as well:

1) I traded my 50$ worth cdkey for 3 months game time

2) I received all the in-game rewards for paying 3 months in advance

3) I payed 20$ more to upgrade to CE

Result:

Instead of paying 30$ for 2 months game time and using the 50$ cdkey for an upgrade to CE and an additional month (Total cost of 80$) I ended up trading 50$ cdkey for 3 months game time and upgrading for 20$ (Total cost of 70$)

Benefits:

1) Saved 10$
2) Received all possible veteran rewards for now (I dont think u receive veteran rewards for the 1 month free play time with the 50$ cdkey)
