Free reactivation.. how?

I'm probably going to get trolled for this, but I haven't seen HOW to reactivate my account for the Double XP/Free Reactivation Weekend. Someone mentioned just logging into the game, but it's not allowing me to do so and I know my account is in good standing, just haven't played in about 3 years. Account management doesn't have anything that I can tell, only asks me for game cards and the like. I'd like to try it out this weekend before I decide to drop some coin on a subscription and the expansion.

So how the heck do I reactivate?

Well, you're going to have file a support ticket and hope they get to you soon. All I did was patch and log in. Are you certain you have your game account's password inputted correctly? You must know it since you logged into the forums with it - it's not the same as your PlayNC master account (unless you did that deliberately before they disallowed it).

Edit: Unless you just made a new trial account to post this, in which case I'm wrong about you using your game pw to use the forums. Either way, see professional CS - they will give you direct help in your problem.

All 5 of my accounts work just fine. Two of them are still paid for, one of them expired less than 90 days ago, and the other 2 I have not used in at least 90 days, maybe even close to a year now.

All I did was log in.

Yeah, you should be able to just log in.
Go through the site's Knowledge Base and file a Costumer Support Ticket and they should get back to you quickly (The few times I've ever had to get help, I got it within a day or two).

I hope you get in and I hope you like what you find!!

Best of luck!

Oh... And I don't see why anyone would attack you for such a question! We're, overall, a friendly lot here!!

Posting on the forums requires an active game account. If you can post on the forums, you can log into the game. Make sure you're not using your NCsoft user/pw combo when trying to log into the game (game user/pw is separate from NCsoft user/pw... and it SHOULD be different, though many people are using the same user/pw for both (bad idea)).

The OP can have two accounts, which explains why he could post on the forum.

One of my accounts is not activated, but all I had to do was log in normally and there it was yesterday

Are you sure you're using the right username/password combination? What does it do when you try to log in?

As stated, since you can post, assuming you don't have 2 accounts, your account has been reactivated. You should just be able to log in.

I have two friends who both can not log in. They try, and it asks if they want to reactivate their expired account. If you hit yes, a website comes up, but has an error and does not load. If you hit no, nothing happens.

You know, that's not exactly a good way to start if you want to keep on people's good sides. The fact that you have gotten mostly helpful responses is a solid testament to how wrong you are about these forums.

The answers that've been given are pretty on-target. You should be able to just log in. If you can't, contact support.

Same situation for a friend of mine.

Trying to spot out a trend here in hopes that it either gets fixed during this weekend, or for the next Reactivation weekend, but did your friend use a trial "Reactivate a friend for free!" code at any point?

I'm new at this. Why would someone have 5 accounts?

Either -severe- altoholics and have filled all their character slots or multi-boxing.

In my case, I bought a bunch of copies of CoV when it was on clearance for $5 each. This was back before I knew you could only add a retail code once for the free 30 days, so I ended up giving away a couple as gifts, and made accounts out of the rest. I used the secondary account to help promote my own toons in my SG, to help store some items in a secondary storage SG (before we had personalized permissions), and to help myself do heal-farms overnight.

Just to add another data point, all three of my accounts were seemingly reactivated appropriately for the weekend event, and I logged into all three successfully on Friday. Today, however, I can log into only two of them: the third returns the typical inactive account error. None of the accounts have used a friend reactivation code, and the odd-man-out account has no peculiarity that I can think of.

I may file a support ticket.

Edit: Taking a closer look at the master account, I discovered the problem: the account in question, unbeknownst to me, was actually active prior to the weekend event. Oops! It expired on Friday -- after the event had started -- and thus is not credited to play for the remaining two days. It's too bad, since that account had the characters I wanted to get at!

Take it easy, looks like they're a refugee from some other MMO forum. We forget that pretty much every other MMO's official forums make 4chan look friendly and welcoming.

Would be even worse on those other forums. You -may- get trolled on those other forums for asking a question. But you -will- get trolled on them for starting your post out with something like "I know I'm gonna get trolled for this...". That's inviting the trolls to come play.

Acknowledging their existence is inviting them to come and slaughter you and do unspeakable horrors to you. If you're lucky, the slaughtering happens first.

Heh. Silliness aside, pretty much, yeah.
