I have spoken with over 12 others who have this exact same prob-
We CAN NOT REGISTER A New trial account.
Registering the NEW EA account is no problem,
The problem comes when you try to register to UO, and go through the PAYMENT /Credit card process.
You paste the code, No problem, You go through the 2 TOC pages, no problems, you come to the Select option page, check £9.99 for 1 mth & 14 day free trial,
You enter your details, hit go, and the page hangs for a few seconds, then a RED message 'This page is unavailable, please try again later'
It is IMPOSSIBLE to register a Trial account due to this, AND the SYSTEM also DOES still make the $1 test transaction.
But the account is NOT usable for UO, if you try again, same message, and now 2 $1 requests.
BUT surely this is at the cost of possible NEW members to UO??
yes, I did try with my Mothers card, from her house, no cookies, no nothing, infact Ive tried from several houses, using several cards, still the same result
Come on EA- FIX your registering system please, I do actually need a KOSHER 5th account for a new shop./storage of museum artifacts
I have emailed EA, and set MANY New tickets on the support thingy, all they say is please call this number to add your card, I call, it rings and rings, then cuts off. The once it was answered the voice didnt have a clue what I was talking about
