So FREEDOM is live... and I can't create a free account?

I'm hoping they have just forgot to turn something on here, but I am trying to get my friend Ron into the game and he can't create an account. EVERY account name he tries to enter fails.

I tried as well, and NOTHING will work as a valid account name. (yes, I am following the naming rules with letters, numbers, length, etc.) We were able to set him up with a PlayNC account by clicking the link at the top easily enough, but a CoX account can't be created successfully.

Help?


Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day, SET a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one having this problem. We have even entered in randomly generated letters/numbers and nothing works. The account system is saying everything is taken and we have no way of creating a new account.

Good thing they used all that downtime to make sure things were going to work well.

Why do we believe that just because the server maintenance is done for today that the Free accounts are now enabled? For all we know there are still some internal infrastructure steps being worked out within NCSoft to turn on Free access for all, and that the latest patch was just one small part of the process.

Per Avatea's announcement today:

.... After several months' wait since the official announcement, City of Heroes Freedom™ is now accessible to all!*....

I think they may have meant it somewhat figuratively.

Uh, no, Avatea says specifically 'welcome new players', soooooooo one would think you'd be able to create new accounts in order to be a new player.

Well, I was just able to add a new free account to my existing master account, so at least part of the new player process is working.


I find your lack of signature disturbing.
