"I would be happy to look into getting you some game time..." -ZOS

gustasonmichaelub17_ESO
Yes, this is an actual quote from ZOS--- so don't go changing my thread title, mods.

I received this email when I woke up this morning in response to a ticket that I put in yesterday (20140406), and replied to it at 0842.
I've yet to hear a response to that email, but now that I'm re-reading it, I'm wondering if they're just trying to pull that "We'll sell you the digital version and you can return your physical one" crap.


If someone could help me translate what exactly they're offering or let me in on what they've been offering you or others in this spot, I'd sure be grateful.

Here it is in its entirety:

I submitted this problem to the phone line option, but seeing as how it's been over 3 hours without a phone call, I'm hedging my bets.
If you need it for whatever reason, my reference code for that is 140406-070117.

I pre-ordered the physical Imperial Collector's Edition from Amazon on 20140223 and received my early-access code with no problems and have been playing since the 5-day early-access began; this afternoon I was barred from playing because I have not set up a subscription plan with my game code.
The issue is this: Amazon tells me that estimated delivery to my house will be somewhere in the neighborhood of April 10th, 11th, or 12th.

In order to play right now, I need the code that's in the box that's not supposed to be here for another week....
This is nonsensical.
I'm perfectly understanding of early-launch issues and unfailingly report bugs as I find them, just as I did in beta; I'm patient with server downtime because I understand the patching process and appreciate how much work you guys are doing for the community, but I paid $107.61 for the best version of the game available, and it appears as though I'm being punished for it.

Is there no way I can play without that code?

I replied with:
"I do not have a credit card tied to the account yet because the boxed physical edition has yet to show up, and so I cannot subscribe. And I've no time card for the same reason.
But the answer to my security question is *************."

No response so far.
Tick tock, Zeni.

    I apologize for the wall of text-- but context is everything here.

    No one else got a similar email?
