I was STUPID, I bought the game. My free trail period turned out to be a 13 day free trail period not 14 days. The game decided that my time had expired, and even getting a new password did not change a thing. Being a Sunday the good people are not here to help you. Once I activate the game I am going to get a 30 days free. I wonder. Be aware the game does have it's good points, but it also has a fair amount of bad ones. If you are thinking about buying the game, wait until the next free trial period before buying. Who knows you may love the game!

You mean you bought the cd key code created a new account and did not get the 30 days free? If so, email bloo@playnet.com monday. He will get it fixed.

I have not activated my CD code yet. Will try tomorrow. That is when the special 14 day free trail period is over. Then my 30 day period should start.

Don't hold me to this, but I think I read somewhere you can't carry over your promotional 14 day account to your new pay account. So your 30 day period will be a from scratch account. Not sure but thought I'd mention it to possibly save you some confusion (hope I'm not creating any) when you start the pay account.

Confused is a great name for installing the CD. After checking my account and seeing that my account is now INACTIVE I put the CD in the drive and click on the exe file. All other games that I own on CD's will over write any exsiting directories with the same name. This one I guess did not do that. After I accepted all that was asked of me (never did ask for my CD code) and hitting finished I tried to enter the game but could not. OK, since that did not work lets remove or should I say uninstall the game. Ok game and playnet removed. Now i'll start fresh with the exe install. Again it does not ask me for the CD code and when I Click on the play Icon there is my old name wanting my password. How come? Windows said that playnet was gone and now it's back with the same account. I think that I will put myself in for "COMPUTER GEEK OF THE YEAR"! Any one out there that knows how this thing works please let me know.

Believe it or not I got into the game by not using the CD but by using the web site. It was one hell of a battle to do it but I won. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition! My wife and I must think the same (great minds). On the CD there is area marked "CD number:" under which is a bar code and numbers. We thought this to be the activation code. Wrong, guess what the activation code is, it's the serial number. Let me repeat that: IT'S THE SERIAL NUMBER!!!!!! Amen brother AMEN!
