So I've diligently entered my collector's edition game code, and the browser directs me to choose a payment option.
I would like to choose game time card once I realize that I can't even register the purchase or the code until I enter a game time code.
I never use a CC to pay for MMOs since it's a really bad idea when many games make it hard to cancel subscriptions that way and getting auto-charged for a game you no-longer play is the worst. Pay-pal is no different. I've been burned twice, once by SOE with my CC when playing Planetside, and by Atari with Champions.
So I learned my lesson. I buy time cards only.
So I call EVERY retailer in my area, ebgames, bestbuy, futureshop, wallmart.
NO ONE HAS ANY TIME CARDS. What's worse, none of the retailers have any idea when they will be getting the cards in. Maybe next week, maybe in 2 weeks maybe at the end of the month.
So what will happen to that code I entered if I navigate away from that page or close my browser? Eventually it will just refresh on its own.
Will I lose that code? Will it get lost in the aether? Will the server mark it as used and when the game cards eventually come in will I be able to re-enter that code?
My guess is no. I started the process so I have to finish it.
Thanks so much Zenimax. I feel like the 130 bucks I spent to pre-order the collectors was totally worth it. <--note the sarcasm.
Fix this now, or everyone who is complaining on these forums will simply flood redit, facebook, youtube, twitch, twitter and every other social media site with complaints of your blatant theft and lying.
You stated on your own press releases that game cards would be available from the 4th. Well tomorrow is the 7th and myself and countless others are left up sh_t creek without a Mudcrab to keep us company.
graciously yours,
