I think it's just asking you to set up your user account.  Just need to give them name, address and all that stuff.  If you aren't subbing, no need to put in credit card info.

I bought it for the first time off Amazon and all they did was send me a key and I went to my existing account at Funcom and added it to my list of games. Hope it works out for ya.

I'm no quite sure but I think that if you haven't account you should create one first to add a key.

ok ill try and just add my user info only no cc

superweasel

nope have to enter cc info, sure not gonna pay 15 bucks more and buy from them

Should i just go ahead and buy from amazon.con?

Yes Buy the game, it's a themepark on rails tho :O  It's that much money you'll never get back.  I didn't like the game but my wife likes it.

Just buy from amazon and add that key to your existing account.

 

You can do it from your account section on the secret world website.

The CC info is for use with the in-game item shop. So just enter the info and not use the shop.

Buy it from the FC site, you receive the initiate pack with it - better deal imho, and FC makes a better revenue I guess.

 

If you purchased from Amazon you´ll probably have to enter the game code you received into your FC account, can´t see how else it would work

There is a code redeem section.

Seriously, this isn't all that hard if you READ....

Buy the Amazon.  Get the key.  Copy the key.

Go to funcom.  Log in to your account.  On the right there is a section that says "account requires a key" or down on the bottom left there is a place to type in a key.  Either place.  Paste the key.  Click continue.

Now it'll ask you if you want to upgrade to Master/Grandmaster.  Down on the bottom just click continue (or accept, or whatever it says).  Done.  Now it'll take 10-15 minutes before the game will let you in, but you're done.

Not difficult.

 When i upgraded from the trial to the retial i needed to put in a credit card, just putting in my info and the key was not enough.

 I just used a credit card you buy from a local store, a $25 one, went to the credit card site and put my zip code in the info (for address verifying) and activated TSW. No issues once the credit card info was there, before that i could not get it working no matter what i tried.

 Maybe some keys require you to do this...i donno.  I got my key off Greenmangaming.com for $7, they had a 75% off sale a couple of weeks ago....if i would have used the 35% of cupon with it, i would have paid $5.
