Levels of Stupidity

Cuddlesworth

After playing on a trial account with my friends I was informed this evening of the trial period ended. So I decided to purchase the game.

Que 30 minutes of run around links where I am repeatedly told I can purchase a key online but finding myself getting more frustrated and angry. Well f*ck you codemasters, I don't want to play a game I get lied to from the start.


"Alternatively buy a key online from our E-Store!" followed by DEAD LINK



"The digital download is a KEY ONLY purchase of The Lord of the Rings Online that is sent via email.
Full access to The Lord of the Rings Online
30-days free subscription included
Recommended retail price: £19.99 €29.99"

Guess what comes next.



On that note, I will never buy or pay for this game until I get my wasted time back.

What exactly happened ?

Did you purchase the game and not receive the key or where you unable to purchase the key ?

Cuddlesworth

What happened is that I used a trial account. When it ended I went to purchase a key online, something that is widely advertised on their site. When I went to purchase the key, I found out that there is no way of purchasing a key on-line. But there is a lot of broken links, false promises and run a rounds. Needless to say, I was somewhat annoyed.

Yeah I see what you mean, there was a offer for a while with 3 months play included which seems to be gone now.

Seems a bit stupid I agree, then again its pretty cheap in the shops atm.

I think I remember reading somewhere about the estore running out of keys buts as Hellfire says you should be able to pick it up in the shops or online fairly cheap...
