For those who already own one or more games/expansions in the Distant Worlds series, we have created a system for you to upgrade to Universe. You will be able to get a $ 10 discount for every Distant Worlds game/expansion you own. This means that, if you Distant Worlds plus all three expansions, you will be able to generate a $ 40 coupon code for Distant Worlds: Universe. This is then added to the $ 10 release discount (until the 29th of May) we are giving for a total of $ 50 off the regular price.

In order to generate this coupon, you must register your Distant Worlds content on the Matrix games Members Club. After you have done this, click the “My discount coupons” button on the right side. Here you will be able to get your coupon.

Note: Make sure to register ALL your Distant Worlds content before generating the coupon. It can only be done once, so if you do it before you registered all Distant Worlds keys, you will not be able to use the full discount!

After you have your discount, just add Universe to your card and enter the coupon code when required and your discount will be calculated.

This procedure will remain in place until Augusts 31st.

Too bad I've read this information after I made the coupon ^.^

It's okay these $10 will be to support DW's future patches.

I clicked the register game link on the left, and tried to input my base DW serial # in, but it says I am already registered....don't want to lose out on $20 coupon...can someone verify that I don't have to have all 4 listed in Members club if they are all registered?

edit: To clarify--under "my registered serial numbers" link, I show all four registered. However, in Members club, only the Legends and Return expansions are showing. Am I safe to click the coupon?

You can click the "my discount coupons" link and it will show how much you will receive off before you click another link to claim your coupon.

Edit: Matrix has officially the best customer support in the world. Guess what I'm playing tonight?

Email sent to support and awaiting reply.

I am pretty sure I checked the forum prior to ordering and did not see this thread but I could be wromg. I am confident that Matrix will rectify the error.

I'm sure they will fix this - my situation was similar (but worse), and they registered everything against a single account for me.

I had the same kind of issue, have submitted Help Desk Ticket. Anyone know how long I should realistically wait for action on it?

I checked the forum before I attempted to purchase but this was mot posted yet so I did not realize that it was a one time deal. I just want to know if this is possible to correct, knowing that it was my fault for not reading the product page carefully enough, because I want this game ASAP.

Thanks gldavis

Might be worth mentioning somewhere prominent that the link is the one to use, rather than trying (in vain) to find all your games in the list. It might save your support staff from being hassled by idiots like me. :P

Status: offline 		I would love to use the discount option for the member club, but alas, I cannot register, as it claims my E-mail adress is invalid (this also prevents me to send a ticket to helpdesk support/account support) Note, it's the same email I used to register on the forums. I did doublecheck & tried variations on typing (capitals/non-capital letters), but to no avail. Did make a thread on the unofficial support forum, in hopes someone can assist me with it.

And no weird characters in the address (like commas, or whatever in the first part)?

Only odd character is an underscore, but considering how many emails got those, I doubt it's that It's more likely the age is, not the first site I had problems registrating, but usually a ticket to support helps (but not in this case, as support here autorejected my ticked due to the email I provided)

Using the same email for about 20years In internet terms, that's an eternity.

But customer service here is truly topnotch! Got a quick official response concerning this issue, on a sunday! Will hopefully resolved soon.
