Registration Code? I just bought a used Xbox 360 copyFollow

If it helps, I bought the game copy that comes with "Rise of the Zilart", "Chains of Promathia" and "Treasures of Aht Urhgan".

ugh.. this is getting expensive. I guess they don't really want to sign up new players. :(

I paid $20 for the game.
Then I had to buy a hard drive for my Xbox, which was another $25 used.
Now I have to buy the game on Amazon.. another $10.

And I need to buy another game copy.. OMG. Luckily when I was calling around a couple months ago a local pawn shop actually had the WotG expansion disc for $10, but I didn't buy it because I didn't have the rest of the game. Hopefully they still have it and I can buy it tomorrow.

I bought this for Xbox because I'm tired of sitting in front of my PC playing games and wanted to be able to play on my large HDTV from the comfort of my couch. This was one of the only live online games I could find for Xbox.. and now it's just turning into a mess... ugh.

Question.. if I buy the Amazon copy, will I get my registration code instantly?

And, until I am able to get the WotG disc, will there be anything I can do in game? Will I at least be able to set up my character, walk around the newbie area.. etc?

Thank you again for your help!

okay, sounds good.

I will go back to my bedroom pc, the fast one.. ;) , and download the game from Amazon. And hopefully get my registration code quickly. I'm going to check out Steam first thought, really quickly, since I do already use them for Civ5. But I'm guessing the Amazon route is cheaper?

One more question, hopefully the last.

If I download the game on my computer and pay for 2 characters. Will my roomie be able to play one on the Xbox in the living room while I play one on my PC in the bedroom?

No. Your roommate will need to have a separate account if you want to play at the same time. Accounts are universal, but only can be logged into from one device at a time.

Ok, so now I created a content ID, and am downloading updates onto the Xbox, 8 min remaining. . . I think once I'm all done I might just have to start playing tomorrow morning, I'm getting tired. . . Lol

I hope my 20 gig hard drive is big enough. . Yikes!

Thanks for all you're help xypin. I'm off to bed, hopefully this will be done, and not time out or anything, by the time I wake up.

Yah, it timed out. I just checked it this morning and there are still 21,000 files remaining. . . Ugh. Looks like I have 10 hours to wait. . . Again.

what i did when i was installing the game on my 360 was put some weight on the anolog stick to make the 360 think that someone is there moving the stick.

It will always do a file check when you start or restart an update, once the file check is done it will then continue to update from where it stopped. Once the game is up to date the next time it updates the file check will be much smaller.

Woohoo! 4 hours and 7,200 items remaining. Sorry for the countdown, I'm just excited! Lol

SE releases a roll out copy called "Ultimate Collection" every year or so that includes all expansions and patches, which alleviates a lot of what you've been through. There's a reason some of us have bought the game three or four times over now...

Yes, and we're getting the newest rollout copy in about a month. As annoying as the huge patches are, they are evidence that SE actually does regular maintenance and updates to the game, and they're a necessary evil.

On your PC, you can change your power settings to not time you out or turn off the machine. Under Control Panel > Hardware > Power Options, change over from Balanced to "High Performance" and that should prevent your system from going to sleep. You can go to Advanced and tweak things further - I personally disable USB selective suspend because I need my USBs active all the time.

Draw my character, Vlor!
