So...how do I do this? It says I have to start an account.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Same. I'm stuck at "Loading Code."


I used to keep track of my levels here.

But I got to 50.

I didn't even get that. I just got redirected to the main page.

Yes, players DO actually read the main pages of the website.

PS - But I don't have Facebook. No matter. I have /demoedit.
You know, every time I tried to hit up that link, it gave me a page not found error. Until after the fact, of course. :|


Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

I went to the Facebook page and clicked on the Promotions tab and got a code. Thanks for a fun emote!

Just a thought for those who can't get it to load: when I clicked on the page, it told me that I couldn't use a secure connection to get to it. I had to disable my normal security to be able to view the page. No idea if that will help but it's a thought.

Thanks for the emote guys. Now I just want to be able to hold the pose for those really long moments when you just wish someone would stop...

This worked. Thanks!

Hopefully these will be offered again after this weekend. I'm at SDCC (sitting in the CoH panel now), and FB won't let me log into my account from my smartphone.

Remember to re-enable HTTPS on facebook after going to the page.

EDIT: that is, log out and log back in to re-enable HTTPS

I guess players who aren't Facebook members don't matter (but then, why would they matter to this transparent attempt at marketing).

And oh hey, forum logout bug while trying to respond to this thread (for the second time in a matter of minutes).

Try reloading the promo page after signing in. It should choke up the code for you then.

This really is an emote that should have been tied to the Incarnate rewards

It's more than a little disappointing that being Australian, i'm automatically excluded from this. Physical product i can somewhat understand- but why exclude us from digital codes?... /e facepalm...

Yup good to see them already working hard to increase the stratification of their game.

Have you tried to use a code?

I got a code but when I went to use it it said "This serial has already been used."

Is there anything I can do about this or are they reusing codes on Facebook wether they've been claimed or not?

Got a code, entered it, got this message...

"The supplied serial code is valid, but it can not be used to create a new account and it can not be applied to any accounts you already have."

Got that both from attempting to apply from the NC master account screen, and from the "Upgrade Account" option for my CoH account.

I just want to know whats with the excluding RI residents. My gf and i live in RI and would love to have this. We can buy from the store and play the game and whatnot but why not this contest?




I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good, either.
