The headstart ended this morning and the deadline for entering valid CD keys has passed. However, Mythic was wise enough to extend the deadline for select customers, depending on purchase method. Playing for a few days and then getting locked out because the UPS guy is functionally retarded and/or your retailer doesn’t grasp the importance of crushing your enemy would…suck.

So, after a lot of conversations I’m happy to announce that over the next few hours we are going to extend the grace period for all customers of Amazon, GoGamer and the EA Store till the 22nd of September. Based on the data we have gathered, these companies account for just about all the customers that were concerned about their chance to get into the game today. Thus, if you currently have an account with us, you’ll be able to get back into the game while you wait for your game to be delivered. Of course, all characters are still intact and no billing of any credit card has taken place (it couldn’t, the account still has free time on it) since the accounts were simply deactivated not wiped.
