It is not the same the install program stated that GvE uses some of the same files as CoH/Cov.
What more info is there? I can't use my card code. All I get is invalid code.
"404 not found" page.

The game is the same no matter what box you buy or what computer it's on.
Are you talking about the VIP pass with the scratch-off gunk?
Make sure you are getting you O and 0, B and 8, 5 and S straight.

Your account code has nothing to do with the install. You need to create a new account for yourself, then use the game program already installed with the new account name and password.
All GvE has over the basic Install is some bonus items such as the pocket d teleporter.
To clarify: Step 1 create new account with code. (IF code does not work try refreshing browser, double-check code, or send a support ticket.)
Step 2 use said new account username and password to start game on EXISTING game in your bro's pc.
Thank you very much, i changed what looked like a 5 to an s and now it's appears to be working thanks.
Nope, spoke too soon I still have no games in my account. It took me to a page to add stuff, but I still got "invalid crap"
Glad you got it working!

Where are you trying to use it? Have you used it before? Have you contacted support (players can't really help you with invalid codes...) |
No it was not an install form the first box. It was an install from the GvE box over the first one.
Where are you trying to use it? OMG Before anyone starts with the "Click Use a Serial Code" BS, that is the (I can't use my card code. All I get is invalid code.) part of the post at the top.
Have you used it before? NO
Have you contacted support? yes no help there

Let me go back over this.
You have an account already. You want to make a second account.
You bought a new, shrink-wrapped GvE physical box to make a second account.
You logged into your master account and chose "use a serial code"
You scratched off the gunk from the VIP card and entered it in, making sure you've got your ducks in a row (S, 5, B, 8, etc), and got back "invalid code".
Do I have this straight so far?
Try this: start over from scratch... Leave the game alone, go to NCsoft account page from the beginning. Use the code you have to open a NEW account. Pretend you are brand new to the game and you need to use the code to get started.
You should not be able to log in to the site until you set up your new account. DO NOT try to set up a secondary one under your brother's. I just tried going to mine and the site seems to be very slow.. maybe there is something going on that is preventing you from getting your code validated.

Yes to all. My account shows no games. My bro's has CoH I have none. When I use the corrected code it takes to a page that want a CC number or time card. when i try to add the time card number I get invalid for it. I should have time on the game just for buying it. I should not have to add a time card or pay from a CC anyway. There is no continue button just a give me money or back option.

You MUST add a credit card or a time card to play (or paypal). Your credit card will not be charged until your free month is up, but you still need to have a payment plan chosen to start.
That little scratch off card isn't a time card, it's the VIP card that registers the game.

1.) Has the time card be used anywhere before?
2.) Are you entering the code correctly?
3.) Double check
4.) Are you sure?
5.) Contact Customer Support.

Shouldn't he still get a free month from the GvE code? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he can use the free month before it requires a time card or CC.
The other way is to start a trial acct. Then upgrade that using the code but you may still need a CC or time card to continue.

That is what I am trying to do. I just brought up my bro's account in relation to the install. And the fact that he has Coh as a game in his account info. I have set up 2 different "new accounts so far and it's NCsoft saying give us money but you will never play the game response". |

Bottom line:
I put in game code.
It takes me to a page wanting money.
I put in game time code from a card my uncle gave me. "Invalid"
Bare minimum I should be able to play without any more money for a few days. Also I have no game in my "account" therefore NCsoft is plain and simple ripping me off.

He does get a free month but he still has to give a payment method first. As Kitsune said, he can put a card number in and immediately cancel after the game is registered, and the card will never be charged, and he'll get his free month.

Quote:
The CC won't be billed until the free time runs out. It's wanting something to show you're capable of paying. You can immediately remove the CC from the file after it's activated, and get the whole month.

It would have been helpful if you'd said this at the beginning. You never mentioned a game time card that someone else gave you until just now. Are you -certain- that game card hadn't been used? And it is an NCSoft time card?

I forgot about this... yes, you still need something to backup the account with be it a CC, paypal or time card. If I knew you I would just give you mine like I did with my brother in-law... maybe ask a family member or friend? (Does your brother still play?... maybe take over his CC info and pay him back?)
You may not be that close to your bro... just a thought.
I can't use my card code. All I get is invalid code. How do I get this code to work?
This is for a second account on the same computer my brother has an account. I tried installing the game over COH/COV that is already there. The install program openned a:
"404 not found" page.
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
WTF there is no way use the code to play Good v Evil that I bought.
