OK I was walking threw Zellers today and what catches my eye none other then a city of villains box set for $4.99. It came with a cool Manti action figure and was just hoping this would get my a free month game time. Will this serial code I have give me a month vip or has something with the boxed sets changed since freedom release?

Depends, I believe, on what codes you have previously applied to your account. If you have already applied a city of villains code, or a CoV:CE code to your account, you cannot apply them again. But I'm not 100% on the specifics.

You can apply the CoV:CE code on an account that already applied the CoV code, but you can't apply multiple CoV:CE codes.

Heh, I found a bunch of copies at a Zellers a couple years back. I bought six, thinking "sweet! 6 months of game time for $30!" My sister, coincidentally bought a few for me, thinking the same thing.

I wound up using one on my account, one on my wife's, a couple for to create SG-invite-accounts, and gave a few codes away.

I can't say for certain that you'd still be able to apply it, now with Freedom, but I'd imagine you could. I found an Architect Edition at Best Buy for $10, and applied that, but I just cannot recall if it was before or after Freedom's launch.

Edit: It was a few weeks before Freedom launched




Thank you, Champion.

So far the only change is Going Rogue no longer has the bonus 2 slots if you apply the code Post-Freedom

A couple months ago I saw a stack of Tabula Rasa Collector's Edition boxes at a Walmart for about 10 bucks each. I almost bought one just for the heck of it.

Well I never applied this box to my account or any box but I did start my account originally with the Good VS Evil edition. My account runs out next week so I guess I'll find out then plus it was only $5 so not like that big a loss if it doesn't work.

Anyway thanks guys.

Which is odd because those boxes should have been sent back on a recall in early 2009 when the game shut down...

You can put the code in now and it will extend your VIP time if it works; if it won't work, your account won't be listed as valid and the only thing you can do with it is to start a new account.

This could also mean you are trying to add a US code to a EU install or a EU code to a US install - yes they are still different.

I'll have to remember this myself next time I see a box in a store in the UK since I've always had a US account.
You very rarely see CoH boxes reduced enough over here to make them worthwhile buying just for the month anyway.

I've seen a few GvE editions in Game at £1.99-£4.99 - although I've also seen CoH DVD editions at £30 - wonder why that doesn't sell
