CoV Box

Quick question - am I correct in assuming that if I were to get a boxed version of City of Villains, that the included month would still work?

I didn't know if, because it's CoV-branded, if the code would somehow be deactivated, or some such.

Thanks in advance

Thank you, Champion.

If you've already applied a CoV box code, another CoV box code won't work. If you've already applied CoV Collector's code, a CoV box code won't work. If you've applied no CoV-specific box codes, a CoV box code will work!

Ah.

I found a pile of CoV copies at a local store. I didn't realise that you could only apply a box-code once. I bought 6 copies at $5 (CAD) apiece. I figured they worked like the monthly time cards. Bah.

The only box code I have applied to my account is the GvE one.

Thank you, Champion.

If any of those are the collector's edition, at least you'll have a new cape!

If you gave somebody an old CoV account, would they have access to blueside because of the 'merge', or was that a one-time thing for those people who had CoV-only at that time?

I did the same (sort of), having bought a CoV Collectors edition and later bought a CoV standard box for $6 at Big Lots. The standard box code didn't work but I gave it to a friend who was able to play blue side with it just fine.

Thanks guys.

Well, I'll use one for my account. I'll re-up my wife's account, until she gets bored of it (usually lasts three weeks or so), and my sister's starting an account, so I'll give her one.

None of my friends have any interest in MMOs, and I have no in-game friends. Maybe I'll use one to mule items, or SG invites to my alts. Maybe I'll give one or two out to some forumites at Christmas.

Thank you, Champion.

Another question...

Apparently, I'm an idiot. I was not able to re-up my wife's account. I logged into plaync on my wife's account. Her account is not playable. When I clicked on "Upgrade Account", it kept referring me to start a new account. I entered the same credentials and it said the username was in use. The only code ever applied to this account was the GvE box.

When I tried to put the code anywhere where I was able to enter a serial, it said something to the effect of not being able to enter that type of code.

I did not try to apply on my currently active account.

Any ideas?

Thank you, Champion.

If I recall, you can't use a retail code to just give yourself time on an inactive account. You have to first reactivate the account, then apply the code to get your free time added on. That's why if you don't have an existing active account, it's going to ask you to create one.
