Help - my account won;t workFollow

Hi

I bought EQ:evolution second hand off a guy who tried it once and he decided he didn't like it so he sold it me.

I tried registering with station but it says account has been used.

How do I sort this?

Damn it

You can't no matter what you can't use an account key twice - I don't believe you did that - once he has used it that is it.


The hwole thing is available for download from SOE now - but its more expensive than buying a complete package. What I'm not sure about now is if you buy a package from Amazon uk, if you can still register it to SOE.

if you have his user name and password, just use it, log in under account options and change the password and billing options. the station uses the same username/password as you use in game.

so if you logged into eq using the user name: JOESMITH and the password: password, you would use the same username/password: JOESMITH/password to log in on thestation. once you log in just go to account and change your info and password there as well.

you cannot use that copy unless he gives you the username and password for it tho, like has been stated above. go find him and shake him up for the info or shake the money out of his pockets.

/me upset

I can't believe it. I can't seem to get hold of him to see if he will give me his station account (although I know he doesn' use it)

It is just more blatant BS from SoE who hate us Brits.

EQ:evolution is only available from the US and import sites.

Basically the information I now need to know is

If I can't get his station account can I buy the game again but not the evolution pack and the evolution bit will still work.

Or do I have to use an evolution Key to activate the evolution bits?

i think any key within the evolution package can be used to unlock any of those expansions. I know my little brother was missing Luclin and PoP on his account so he bought Evolutions and used the keys in Evolutions to upgrade the Luclin and PoP expansions.

I'm pretty ignorant to the whole evolutions thingy and all. I've bought all of the expansions individually.

You could always get someone from the U.S. to purchase Evolutions and ship it to you. Might have to pay them up front, but if you could get a trusted name to do it for you you might be able to solve that problem.

I am unfamiliar with International shipping but will Amazon ship you this if you buy it?

Everquest Evolutions

I am pretty sure that you cannot just buy an original EQ game and use all of the expansions, even if you do install it using the Evolution CDs. You will need an evolutions keyset or individual expansion keys to use the expansions.

Thanks for the thought but in recent times Amazon has been shot for delivering from the amazon.com to the UK and hence

Amazon.com Sales Rank: 268
Shipping: Amazon.com's shipping rates and policies
Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.

The amazon.co.uk dont stock it.

Thanks anyway :D

I feel bad that you cannot get in, and it sucks about you not being able to get the Evolutions package...but...SOE had nothing to do with the fact that you did not realize that you could not re-use a key code to create a new account. A little bit of research or an e-mail to SOE about this would have made it clear. This is not unique to SOE...DOAC, Ultima, Ashrons all had the same kind of sign up, so you would be in the same place with just about any MMORPG.

As for SOE hating brits?? This is probably more of an import/export trade and tariff issue. I guarantee that SOE would sell this package anywhere that it would make them money. My guess is there are international trade laws that are making it prohibitive.

Hi.

I recently bought a friend evolutions from www.dvdboxoffice.com. It's the US version and as such will be an SOE account making you able to take part in the Sony All Access Pass for SWG etc if you want to, as the Ubisoft packages in the UK deny you that option.

No shipping fee if you want standard mail, a shipping fee if you want it quicker which is fair enough.

The direct link to the EverQuest products is here:

DVD BoxOffice - Everquest

The exchange rate from £ to CND$ is very favourable. :)
