so, if i haven't activated the game yet, will a 30 days gamecard work for activating the game or do i need a gamekey first?

I don't know about that, since I've had the game since I bought the disks on retail launch day and have kept them safe through the years. But for anyone wishing to use a gamecard, a 30-day gamecard will require you to have an SOE account.

Okay here should be the steps for a new person to get setup.
1) Go to station.sony.com
2) click Sign Up
3) Complete account sign up.
* Consists of DOB and Email Address.
* User ID and Password.
4) Login with your new account.
5) In Account Managment screen click "Enter Activation Code."
6) In Enter Activation Code screen and choose "PlanetSide"
7) In Enter Code section enter code from Game Card
Click Go!
At this point you should be able to play the game.
You will need to download the station laucher to DL the game and play it.
Which is available here. http://launcher.station.sony.com/

You could install the station launcher before you get the game card. But you would need to have a game card before you can DL and play the game.

I tell you what I'm gonna do, homie. I'm gonna get you a 30-day gamecard from SOE. I want you to be able to experience the majesty of Planetside. Expect a PM from me shortly.

Thanks

Edit: Don't have it yet..but yeah...

Yes, sorry - it's the weekend and it's very busy here. Sorry. I sent you a PM with the code. Follow the activation instructions and you should be all set. Hope to see you in-game.

It said it was invalid, now it is saying I have already used it for my account. I followed your instructions exactly. The only thing that could be wrong is if you entered the game code incorrectly...I don't know.

So can you or can't activate the game with a gamecard? Aren't namone problems caused by this?

What? I don't understand the last part. But yes I can't activate the game.

Yes, mawricus. 30-day gamecards can be used with Planetside. His issue is that the card number is invalid, according to the website. And I know it's not, because I'm the one that purchased it.

Well it said it was invalid but now it is saying I already used it, though I still don't have access to the game. :P But basically yeah.

A ton of people are having trouble trying to setup and renew accounts. I'm not quite sure why SOE makes it so hard for us to give them money..

Yeah, I have been hearing about that. Still no response from customer support. How long does it usually take them to respond?

Hamma · 2011-02-21, 11:41 AM

Unsure a few people have said it's taken them a day or so to get things sorted.

Firefly · 2011-02-21, 01:33 PM

I emailed you a scanned copy of the receipt and the game-card in case Customer Support needs to see it. Depending on how long it takes, I'll just email Smedley. The email address you used, is that the one linked to your account?
