Already entered Retail key

So i wake up this morning and i manage to play age of conan having it already set up and entered my retail key and all that junk

so i take a nap and i come back and i cant log in.. i go to my account page and it says its frozen and i need to enter a retail key.. i already entered the retail key and i tried re entering it and obviously nothing.

I can't use the forums because i don't have access to them not having a " retail account "

    I used a preorder key but didnt get into early access.  I was playing the game this morning and at 1:13pm est the game cut off.  I check my account and it says open but frozen.  So i'm like WTF I used my bank card and it was working fine up till that point.  We get 30 days free and they are not supposed to charge you till after that.  I didnt have 15 bucks in my account but that shouldnt have mattered.  Anyway I decided to use my fathers bank card which has plenty of cash on it.  It keeps getting DENIED!!!!!  Does anyone know if there is a phone number I can call?????  Ive emailed them 3 times today with no response.  I'm so pissed of with funcom right now.  THey owe me a day of play time!  Sorry if this doesnt answer your question but it seems like you may have the same problem.

    when i try to enter my retail key to upgrade or to make a entirely new account, it does not work either.  3 credit cards denied.....cant use my retail key to upgrade.....cant make new account....cant access official forums.....no customer support hone number......no answer to emails after 10 hours=WTF IS WRONG WITH FUNCOM!

  • Clavain06Clavain06 Member Posts: 25

    Well good to hear I'm not the only one having issues with this... guess it isnt *entirely* Amazon's fault though I'm still pretty ticked that my pre-order didnt ship today.  Maybe its Funcom's issue with they key.

    dont know if this helps but the IGN forums had this advice

     

    How to upgrade your Preorder account

    vnboards.ign.com/age_of_conan_general_board/b22995/107402643/p1/

    Go to



    register.ageofconan.com/



    sign into your account then on the main page scroll down to



    Use a Key to add Prepaid Card, Upgrade a Subscribtion, or Creat Subscription.

    https://register.ageofconan.com/account/key



    That link will take you to a Validate Key screen were you enter the code found on the back of your manual.





    Now if you still can't get onto the forums then reset your password by going into Creat or Update my Forum login, then after about 30 mins you should be able to get on fine.

    tried this many times and it does not work for me.

  • Clavain06Clavain06 Member Posts: 25

    Sorry, that doesnt work for me either.  It acknowledges I have a pre order key from Amazon but thats all.  It looks like that page is broken.  at the bottom of that screen it says "You can" and nothing after and from the site it sounds like it is supposed to give you options to upgrade or create a new AoC subscription etc at that point.

  • kiIIswitchkiIIswitch Member Posts: 12

    Yeah I leave work in about a half hour, if I go home and get some more validation bull after re-entering my key, again...  Well, I think I that will be the end of my AoC play (even though i've yet to ACTUALLY play, ha)...

    FC has been totally inept during this whole process, and customer service, to me, makes up a large part of gaming experience.

    Think about it, with WoW, they let you know every single thing that happened, when it will be fixed, and what to expect... What does FC do... well they lock you out of thier forums and keep you blind to anything related to the product you have paid for.  Quite the scheme.

    I know you cannot read the Funcom forums  (/rude Funcom)

     

    but heres what the HERE link says from my previous post

     

    Most common issues with registration and login




    The following issues are the ones encountered the most while trying to register a retail key or log on to the forums or the game.



    Access to the Age of Conan Forums



    If you can't access the forums and have a Age of Conan player account you need to register your forum account here:

    https://register.ageofconan.com/. Only people with an active Age of Conan account, and a forum account, can log into and read and write to the forums.



    As the game has already launched in the US, only registered Early Access keys and game keys that have been delivered with the boxed version of the game will allow you to access the forums. Pre-order keys will not work for this anymore.





    How to upgrade a game account from pre-order/early access to final retail version



    If you have registered a pre order key (like the Rhino, or Mammoth) this only makes you able to create the account. It does not give you access to the game. You need to enter the game key that comes with your boxed version of Age of Conan as follows:
    • To upgrade a pre-order account with a game key (retail key), please do not enter that game key in the left field as this will create a brand new account and any pre-order bonus items would be lost to your original account. You find your game key on the back of the manual that has been delivered with your game box.
    • Instead log in to your already existing account (login on the right side at http://register.ageofconan.com ).
    • Click on [Use a Key to add a Prepaid Card, Upgrade a Subscription or Create a Subscription]
    • Enter your game key in the field and click on [Validate Key]
    • Your account will then be upgraded to the retail version and will be activated.



    Can't login to the game



    Please make sure you have checked the following:
    1. Are you using the correct game client which you donwloaded or received with the boxed version of the game and not one of the beta clients?
    2. Is your game account (at register.ageofconan.com) active with either the Early Access program or the Retail key (the Pre-order key allone will not allow you to access the game).
    3. Are you trying with the correct username/password? This might vary from your login to the account page depending on your entries for the game account. If unsure please try to change the password for the game account under [Change my Ingame Password] and retry to login to the game.
    4. Please note that beta logins or Anarchy Online logins will not work for Age of Conan.
    5. To avoid typos you might want to try to write the password into notepad, verify it's correct and then copy /paste into the password field.

    Am I reading this correctly?  I pre-ordered the game and got an account key.  But that key, unless I rushed and signed up for the early access to get into the game (which I did not), is useless?  I really dont understand that at all if that is the case.  Am I reading it wrong?  All other MMOs I have gotten early with a key let me log in and download and gave me usually 10 days to enter the second key from the CD when it arrived at my door.  Did they not do this for AoC?

  • aprilmay1aprilmay1 Member Posts: 27

    god knows when they will reply = / dont they have a customer support phone number??

    it isn't an account key it is a pre-order key for your mount or whatever pre-order item you are supposed to receive.

    and to answer your quest ion yes, you have to have either Early Access or the actual Retail key.

    Any key you entered prior to opening your box is NOT the key that will get your game going.. Sounds to me like they are having some serious issues and people need to email the hell out of them before i get my box so I won't have the problems :P

    One quick question though, does anyones buddy pass stuff work? if so how?
