grate i just finished buying andinstallin planetside i goto the validate cd key screen and guss what MY CD KEY IS IN USE!GOD DAMMIT! grrr this makes me pissed has this happened to anyone else?

[Squeeky]

Ouch,
I'd call tech support ASAP!

[cyberkiller]

ya thats exactly what i did i e-mailed them BLAH stupid hacking shmoes

[Kaikou]

Well, I doubt its a hacker if your key really was used...

If anything, someone went to the store, bought the copy you now have, took the key from it, and returned it. Thats the only thing I could imagine what happened.

[cyberkiller]

lol it couldnt be that i preordered my copy it was behind shelf the entire time...

[cyberkiller]

heh i wonder if tehdevs wil gimme a new key....or tech support 4 that matter

[Endless]

i knew some1 who would burn copies of a game and use random cd keys. maybe urs was a "luky one" (i think thats wat he did, but i dont know, sounds like it would work).

[cyberkiller]

heh i hardly see that as lucky

[�io]

See this is why warez = ban.


Sorry to hear that man, hope mine will be ok. :p

[gonnagetyou]

I hope you get things straightened out soon. At the moment it is very easy to pick up programs that generate random CD keys. Also, anyone who had beta can easily buy the game, copy down the CD key without even taking the wrapping off the CDs and then return the game. I actually thought about doing it for a second myself, but my conscience got the better of me.:D

They can easily track the key to the account. It's all stored.

If it is indeed in use, the account may be banned.

[Indecisive]

accually...it WILL be banned...

[Misereor]

Banning?
Hopefully the consequences will be much more severe than banning.

Stealing a CD key is common theft. Using it to illegally gain access to Sony's servers is unlawful entry.

It should be reported to the police so they can deal with the culprit.

Hope the little dweeb did it so many times that he gets jail time, and a new daddy named Bubba...

Before ya'll cane someone... it was probably just a database error.

[kall]

I had the same problem.. I think its a bug some how b/c I clicked back then forward then it took adn I could continue. Im not sure the exact sequence I did this in I just finally got to a screen where I could continue. It was kinda weird.


Kall.
