How to Buy Darkfall Online

[Havoc]

As a preface, this is just instructional as to how to get it done for those who are trying - it is not in any way intended to instigate any discussion about the validity of paying money for said product.


So, first of all you should have already registered an account before hand. Trying to do this while people are hammering the system is the first step towards suicide. Next, make sure you've got your account auto logged in (basically just log in some time during the day) and then make sure your credit card info is saved, yes this seems like a security issue so if you're a 'paranoid pete' you should use a low limit card (durr)

Now, here is the technical part:
#1 - Last week the sales came up at ~2pm EST every day (usually a few minutes after) so this is when you want to start, about 1:55.
#2 - If you are logged in, go directly to https://www.darkfallonline.com/accou...=Subscriptions. This is the main page for buying the game.
#3 - Keep reloading the page until it says 'Buy Now' near the bottom, the next page will be where you put your CVV in - it's important to note that even though your page will probably time out it should still work (you'll get an email from aventurine to verify this)
#4 - You should be able to log in right away

tips: check their forums for info each day just in case they throw it up at a different time

Can you please list times in a more sane format, like UTC?

Otherwise thanks for writing it, will probably give aventurine a lot more problems :P

[Havoc]

EST is -5 so figure it out, GMT would be ~7pm

[zapp]

Thanks, GMT and UTC is same thing though.

I was on there last night from 6.58pm GMT until 7.31pm and hit the buy button, didn't refresh just let the page load, and it failed going to try again tonight otherwise I will wait until it calms down.

This does work! That said, is it not absurd that you had to actually take time to post a tutorial on how to purchase the game?

Has anyone posted a link to this on the DF forum?

Wow it's pretty fucked up that it's this hard to buy a new MMORPG. They should be slaving day and night for new customers.

Fail.

They would ban for a link helping people buy the game? I have to try this. Posted.

I love that you posted that under advanced discussion.

[Diabh]

It was a friend of mine from Mor Do Kuli who supplied me the link, otherwise I would have been clueless where to try and purchase it, not that i have purchased it because the website takes fking forever and a day, also due to still playing DAoC the rush to pile in just isn't there yet!

hopefully next time round i can get involved.

That forum is pissing me off. They're overriding how many threads can be shown in the list but the forum is too active to keep most threads on the first page longer than 10 minutes.

Uncensored so far.

I tried calling you a homo and the board filtered it. Totally backfired my reply.
