Account type: Pre-Ordered customer

Well, I haven't gotten my exclusive "Pre-Ordered Vendetta-Online" badge , nor my über exclusive "Pre-Ordered Vendetta-Online" Bus O' Death™, nor my ultra exclusive "Pre-Ordered Vendetta-Online" Ice Cream Widgets yet, but I'm happy. :-D

well i got my Preorder applyed but I think it was kinda diff to find , hope they make it easyer for the next people

I have received an e-mail from GameStop confirming my order. However, there is
NOTHING in that e-mail about a "key" either "pre-order" or any other kind of key.
I've read it several times and don't think I could have missed it. What's up with THAT?

It should look something like this, RattMann:

"Order for Vendetta Online with GameStop.com
From: <SpecialOffers@gamestop.info>
To: <gamestop(at)jerryknight<dot>com>

Date: Today 11:36:18 am

So no, I don't think you could've missed it. It's probably coming soon, but for the moment, there is no direct benefit for having pre-order account status.. so you're not missing out - yet.

Sweet, worked, and errrm, wheres my *Has pre ordered the game* badge huh? I know, *We dont need no stiiiinking badges*.. Well i dont need it, i just want one ;o) Worked here also, nice fix ;o)

the ability to keep our alpha/beta badge is enough for me :D

How long does Gamestop usually take to send the key once you preorder?

Is it a matter of hours, days?

Not sure, I ordered Wed Oct 13 13:56:41 2004 and received the pre-order key Tue Oct 26 11:36:18 2004, but I don't think they had the key distribution stuff in place when I ordered. Now, it should be quick, a day at most I would guess.

I do not known if anyone else had this problem with the preorder key. After I received the key, I went right to the signup site without checking the forums. The signup site created a new preorder account without letting me upgrade my beta account. Now I not sure what to do about it. The new preorder account seems just like the beta account because it never asked for any type of payment plan.

Surprise!!

I am your exclusive in-game benefit!!

Omg! /me pets RelayeR

btw are alpha/beta badges linked to accounts now?

Not yet Ben. Soon™.

Still haven't gotten my e-mail from Gamestop... starting to wonder if I should call them or something.

I preordered the game from EB games and have no key, also how would I prove that I was a refugee from E&B? UPC code from box maybe?

Thanks

Hey "thginkrej": Thanx for the detailed response. Unfortunately for me, NOTHING
even remotely similar to that appears in the e-mail I received from GameStop. Do
you or ANYONE have an idea what to do next?? Thanks again !!

If in doubt RattMann, contact GameStop.

i receive the teeshirt when ?
Banzaiiii

<optimist>
Maybe people are having trouble because Gamestop already gave out all the 100s of keys they were given by Guild... maybe all it would take is just telling the shell script key-generator to churn out a thousand or so more.......

OMG!!! We're all going to DIE if we don't get these keys in time for the reset OH NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
