notice the game servers are down for maintenance or whatever. probably has something to do with it.
patiently waiting on mine as well
Actually, servers go down every tuesday for maintenance.
And I'm sorry Alpha Centori but that seems a bit cynical to me. They did just do a mass ban. This is a good thing. And EVERY game has cheaters and e-bayers (if the game is popular). Not saying it makes it right but yuou can't single this game out and not others. It's a great game. If you can learn to deal with this issue then you can have a lot of fun.
It is a hard game. The economy is brutal. It is not for everyone. I would say that it is the economy that helps promote cheating, but look at games like Guild Wars and WoW. Those have easy economies in comparison and you can still buy their currency online.

That's nice. HOW has it been fixed?
It's been fixed in that the trial - as intended - does not need a credit card to sign up. It was down to human error and that person has been sent to stand outside in the parking lot.
/edit Those originally affected have had their trial accounts 'fixed' to be free as intended. Anyone creating a new trial moving forward should be unaffected.

lol Ok, here's my problem. I created an account using the key I got from here but when I try to log into the game, I get the same "time expired" message. The only way to get another key from here is to create another account, which is against MMORPG.COM's ToS. So, what do I do?
EDIT --- PROBLEM FIXED. All I had to do was re-extract it from the zipped file and it seemed to repair the data files. Thanks
Odd, I got downloaded the client from File Planet last night, heard about the problem with the trial keys and decided to give it a try in the morning. Lo and behold I have the "you account key has been activated" waiting in my mailbox when I wake up.
So, I extract the zipped file into another folder on the desktop. Inside that folder is a Setup.exe file and several data files. I assume you have to hit the Setup to start installation. I do that and it looks like it is installing, until it asks me to insert disc 1. I thought I was downloading the game so that I did not need to have a CD? Am I missing something here? It would have been nice if the download had a readme with instructions.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the eniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men, blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is trully his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children, and i will strike down upon thee with great vengence and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is the Lord when i lay my vengence upon thee~Jules, PF

very strange my install went fine, on a side note does anyone know generally how long the maintenance takes?
Sorry about the initial 'difficulties', hope you like what you see - especially if you've not played in a while. C5 made some pretty decent changes to things - especially for single player and n00bs.
The guy who messed up is still out in the parking lot. Small children are now throwing things at him.

Originally posted by Hapache Same deal here .. everythign went smooth until i started to install it.. It asks me for CD 1... lame..
Not sure what that problem is. I'll see if I can get an answer, but in the mean time, please submit any problems you have here: http://support.plaync.com/
Hit the 'Ask a question' tab and the support team will look into the problem.
/edit so the short term answer is that we don't know what's causing this problem. As far as I can tell, we've not encountered it before. I actually talked to the guy that put the build together and he said that there's really no way that this can come from the C5 build since it was never built to run from CD, therefore, there are no instructions in there to insert a CD or do *anything* with a CD. Very odd.
Our QA team will try to replicate the problem tomorrow and we'll issue a fix for you if we find anything. Thanks for your patience.
Are you sure your client is from Fileplanet? If it is, mostly your client isnt complete thats y it prompt for CD 1 OR you are too smart and split the files.
I have downloaded it from fileplanet since C5 goes live and frankly, not worth to try L2.. its either u see tons of botters or u face serious lag.
All canceled. Waiting on Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning.
Originally posted by Hapache Thanks for the feedback roy, and im sure its a fileplanet download cause im using their download manager =D
Funny you should say that. I talked to our community manager and she mentioned it might be a problem with the FilePlanet DL manager. It seems it's happened before (but only rarely).
I'll talk to FP today, see if we can lock it down and if that's where the problem is - remove it for the future.
If you DO encounter this problem - for now, try to get the client without using the DL manager.
Well here it is the 8th of Nov. and I too can not get past file planet demanding $6.95 one month subscription to thier service to get what MMorpg.com says is free. I want to try it but not if free is going to cost me money.
are any of you still having problems with file planet..im only wondering cuz i use their site quite frequently so ill check and see if that problem still persists...ill give an update..just want to help out the team
Update: key worked fine in my account..my CoH/CoV key i got from here didnt though..now for the fileplanet download im getting it now.

Heh, I just got one of those, too. Now the servers down, so I can't see if it's working.
