And as an addendum on what Aggelakis said, several people have applied these codes AFTER the launch of Freedom and they work just fine.

The only time it is a problem is if people create a new account using the codes instead of upgrading the existing account.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Nope. I applied a GvE box to my preemie account soon after the VIP starter kit expired, a few weeks after Freedom.

You can apply them but you won't get the additional character slots that came with GR.

That must be what I was thinking of.


FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

Must be just the EU Deluxe version then. That couldn't be applied to my existing account through the upgrade process.

If it is a version that is not the same as your account version, you can't apply it.

To clarify further, if it is an EU code, it cannot be applied to a NA account.

If it is a NA code, it cannot be applied to an EU account.

Those limitations were in place before Freedom was launched and there is little reason for them to change those policies.
