EA Magical Puzzle Discovered!

[frawsty]

I now think I have insight on an additional reason why our game is dying. Today I attempted to create a new account and discovered that before you can do this, you have to solve a magical puzzle. Please read below:


gametimecodes.com: before you purchase this product you must login to your game account.

ea.com: you can't complete this registration until you complete your subscription/billing info.

ea.com: you can't complete this subscription until you submit a gametime code.

gametimecodes.com: you can't purchase a gametime code until you login with your verified/registered game account

== Enter endless loop ==

You people are geniuses and I tip my hat to you! :bowdown:

SPOILER ALERT (scroll down)






















The solution to the EA Magical Puzzle: Buy a gametime code from a 3rd party vendor thus EA/Gamecodes loses your purchase. The solution is that EA doesn't want you to make your first purchase with them.

What are you trying to buy? Yes, in game items, things that enhance an account, game time codes, you must have an account already established for good reason. What good are these things going to do for someone without an account? Oh, they'd be to resell?

For the new account codes you do not have to have an account, it even says so.

Account Creation Code

1. After purchase, you will receive an email with your Account Creation Code.
2. Go to www.ultima-registration.com and click on the "CREATE ACCT" button. Create a new EA.com account by clicking on "Don't have an EA member account?" Follow the on screen instructions.
3. Enter the Account Creation Code when prompted. Follow the on screen instructions.
4. The process is complete. Log into Ultima Online and you'll have access to all Mondain's Legacy content.

I’m not a UO subscriber, but I would like to play Mondain’s Legacy. How do I subscribe?
To start playing Ultima Online, you will first need the UO Client -- download the UO: Gold demo at FilePlanet. This package will allow you to play for free for 14 days. To upgrade to Mondain's Legacy, you can purchase an Account Creation code at www.uogamecodes.com. You will be emailed instructions at that time about how to create an account and how to download the game client.
Only one UO account can be created with a Mondain's Legacy Account Creation Code. When you create a new Mondain's Legacy account, the first 30-days of game play are free. After that, regular billing will apply. If you cancel your account before your first 30 days has expired, you will not be billed

If heard that if you broadcast that you've cracked the code- they send GM's to your house to quietly 'take care of you'.
