I have WAR early, and cant play, even with head start codes.Follow

Have you tried to put the HS code in yet? That should let you in. By "wollies" do you mean "woolies", as in Woolworths?

About the lost files, before trying to login do a scan, i think the option is there. Maybe that will identify the missing code and download it, yeh never know.

You could be right about installing it from retail. It is going to be older code, hence a different patch will need applying, which will only go live tomorrow, damn man.

Quick, download the client from somewhere.

Indeedy. They have even included a few days grace, so your retail codes dont need to bi in straight away.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... whoa..

Let me get this stright. Retail players, who pre-ordered mind you, yet got the game today. (I've got two sets of games, from different sources, because I tried pre-ordering from two places to get headstart codes, which I never got)

But one was shipped to me, and one was a in store pick up. But as I sit here, waiting for the game to install.. I won't get to play it today? It's not my freaking fault that two places couldn't provide me head start codes, and both decided to let me have the game today.

So regardless, I won't play today? Is that what I'm hearing? I took off work for this sh*t?

Possibly, although from the screams Im reading its mainly an EU thing. Nothing 100% from Mythic yet either but ALOT of people have issues. Ive send them a email and can hope for a quick responce. Will keep you guys posted.

It's not really Mythic's fault either....
Depending on when you pre-ordered, you had plenty of time to cancel and either get it from D2D, Amazon, or someplace else, which didn't run out of codes.

Did you not know what codes you were supposed to get? Why didn't ya do something about it?! You're a consumer, you have a choice. You don't have to bend over and take it!!


Well....since the game hasn't launched yet....that would be a yes.

It sucks - but again - I pre-ordered 2 CE's and 6 SE's from Amazon, and 3 SE's from D2D and had zero problem. My last pre-order was amazon (2 copies of SE) on September 4th, and yes it took a call to get service, but they came through!! They will continue to have my support and busisess.

Tell me Magil - are you planning on continuing purchasing from Best Buy?

[Edit:


I have to agree - but not because of your issue.

There has YET to be ANY MMO pre-order that comes through, because studios simply do not have the pipeline to deliver. Until such things are direct from studio download ONLY - and they make marketing stay the hell away, we as players will continue to suffer such outrageous service (and put up with it....because apparently, we're retarded).

Let me say this. They didn't say on Warhammers pre-order faq, if you pre-order with D2D and and Amazon, you will get head start codes, but you won't with the rest. They said pre-order with any of our business partners and recieve head start codes.

My job was to simply pick one, and wait like a good boy, for what was offered to me.

They didn't say, if you pre-order the game, and recieve it a day early then launch, then you cannot play. They said if you pre-order you get to play before the launch. I've done so. An I cannot play.

If I go with what Best Buy said, they codes they were given, were not working to those who recieved them, so they stopped giving them out.

Who exactly should I blame for this not working as intended? Myself? Did I not do what was asked, to recieve what they promised?

Thanks again, Tovin.

I just contacted EB Games via phone, and they knew exactly what I wanted once they pulled up my order. Said they would contact those who send out the codes, and I should recieve them shortly.

We will see if this day won't be a total loss for me yet. =p
