Can someone help me out please?

Hey, this may be the wrong forum, so feel free to move this, but I'm trying to figure out how to get my free trial of Dungeons and Dragons Online. I signed up at Turbine's site and they emailed me a Access Key; I then downloaded the game, and activated my key at Turbine. Went to log in, and the game told me invalid username/pass, blah blah blah. So I hit the "Need a Username?" button, and it takes me to COG! (Codemasters Online Gaming.) I sign into my COG account (I used to play Archlord, lol) and try to use my trial key to register for D&D Online, but COG tells me my Key is invalid! Am I doing something wrong? The sign-up instructions on the Turbine site said to download and install the game, then sign in using the same username I use on the Turbine site. I'm so confused. -.- Please help!

No, not quite. I already have the game; I downloaded the newest one from Gamershell, and then spent an hour or so patching.

The problem is, I followed Turbine's instructions for setting up an account and getting a trial key, activated my trial, and am ready to go, except that the game client won't let me login. It seems to want COG login details, not Turbine. What am I missing?

 I may have downloaded the UK version of DD-O. I'm downloading the US version; we'll see i that works.

Did you get a comfimation email for your account and did you click on the link?

OrionSX

 Yesh I did. I've confirmed that my 10 day free trial is currently running at Turbine, but of course, COG knows nothing about it. -.-

I'd DL it from the Turbine DDO web site just to be sure you got the right version.

 

BTW, enjoy! I'd tell you to /tell me if you have any questions, but the trial doesn't allow tells. Very annoying.

Hey. COG Accounts have their own trial. Codemasters run EU version of DDO, not Turbine, so there are different codes for trials. You probably have EU Client and US code or other way around.

Here is key generator for EU (Codemasters, EU license owner):
http://www.ddo-europe.com/trialkey.php

And here for US (Turbine, the developer):
http://trial.ddo.com/

US and EU Clients are INCOMPATIBLE . Though the content is the same, game is exactly the same, save for more languages in EU version (localization).

 Thanks for the responses. I got it working by downloading the US client ^_^
