Account codes.

I had a question regarding the master account codes.
i recently got a
copy of CoV and was wondering if
i am able to add more than one version of each game per master account (
CoH DVD edition,CoV collectors etc.)

If not it looks like i'll just have a spare if I run into anyone interested in trying the game out.

As long as they're from different editions, yes, you can.

I'm not entirely sure of your question, so I'll see if I can cover all the bases:

1) You can stack different edition on the same game account without a problem; my account, for instance, has the original CoH, CoH DVD, CoV DVD, and Good vs. Evil Edition codes on it.

2) You can also create multiple game accounts on the same master account using different retail codes. A lot of people did this by accident when they intended to do 1) above when CoV first came out, thanks to the way the account management screen used to be laid out. Note that if you do this, the multiple game accounts can't share characters or anything, even though they're under the same PlayNC master account.

3) I haven't tried to apply multiple codes from the same edition to a single game account (i.e. two copies of CoV DVD). I don't see why it wouldn't work, but, as you see below, I'm told it doesn't.

I can say with certainty that you definitely CANNOT do this. The ONLY exception is the Game Card.

Well, there you are, then. Don't do that.

You can't apply the exact same edition to an account. In other words if you have the CoH collectors dvd you can't add another one. You can't apply lesser versions over the top of expanded versions. So if you have already used a CoV collectors dvd then you can't add a standard CoV code.

You can however add a version that contains extras which you currently don't have. I have built my account with all of the these editions in the following order. CoH Basic+CoV basic+GvE+CoH Collectors+CoV Collectors+Mac Edition

The Architect edition code can't be added to others because it doesn't contain any extra goodies in the code itself. It just comes with an extra code for one of the boosters.


Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

This part is incorrect. You can add the Architect edition to other editions. It's what I did, and it gave me an additional month as well as the choice of one of the boosters.

What if you have bought the goodies from the GvsE pack separately and then wanted to add the full version of it later. Would that work?

I think so, though of course you wouldn't get second copies of the goodies. Not 100% sure, though.
