   Sony is evil
  I am an everquest fan, and just recently, we got DSL and my younger brother, also an EQ fan, got himself an acct. We had the Shadows of Luclin expansion and Planes of Power expansion, but you needed seperate keys for them to work on seperate accts... Oh well, I said, just another $30 and we can play all the expansions together.So I went out today and bought EverQuest Evolution, because it had all the expansions up to (but not including) Lost Dungeons of Norrath. Now I just wanted the CD keys so I could activate the expansions on my acct. I opened the box when I got home and discovered ONE key. Just one. So I launched the live chat with sony support, and here''s what went on:quote:You have been connected to CSR Eric W.CSR Eric W: Hello Robb, Thank you for contacting Sony Online Entertainment. One moment please, while I read your question. Thank You!CSR Eric W: what''s going on ?Robb Frye: Um yes... I just bought the EverQuest Evolution package and I wanted to actually divide the CD-Keys among two accts (because I have 3 of the 5 expansions on one account and the other 2 on the other) I just got DSL and wanted to be able to play my brother on our network, which is why I bought another set of expansion packs. Can I do this somehow?CSR Eric W: It can be done sorry.Robb Frye: 0o do you mean can''t?CSR Eric W: one CD key one account not multiple accounts.Robb Frye: Yes yes but I have two cd keys for two accts, but the evolution thing only had one key in it.Robb Frye: it had the acct key, which I actually don''t want to useCSR Eric W: evol cames with only one.Robb Frye: ok how about this... to unlock expansions on the other acct, iff say I bought the original game when it first came out, and then bought Evo when it came out just so I could have the expansions, then could I use that acct key to "unlock" them when it says to add expansion in the server screen?CSR Eric W: the missing ones yesRobb Frye: alright! that''s all I would need ^_^ thanksSo I put the code into the secondary acct and it worked, filling in the blanks (unfortunatly it put Ykesha on there and I wanted that on my acct, not my brother''s but I don''t really care since it''s a poo expansion). I then take the key to unlock Velious on MY acct, and it says "Key already Used" well great. Thanks alot rep guy, I don''t think you understood the fucking question.I sent an email to the main support center detailing everything I would need to see if they would give me individual keys for the 2nd expansions I already own... it''s doubtful though, so if they can''t do that I want a damn refund. This SERIOUSLY makes me angry, especially since you shouldn''t have to shell out another 30 some dollars on dual expansions anyway; it''s a subscription game, they should live off the revenue of that. I know of no other MMORPG that uses keys for it''s expansions, or even one that you absolutly must BUY the game itself. Most (if not all others) allow you to download the game then just pay for an account. As long as you pay for the acct, you can copy that actual game as much as you want. 
  *shrug* He answered you the first time.. You can''t do what you wanted to do, not that what you wanted to do was unreasonable.Just buy evo again, not all that much by and large.P.s. yakesha was not an expansion it was an extension (play on words if you ask me); I like it either way tho. ;  I don''t understand your fucking question either.  Play Quake. ;quote:Original post by FeralofFireTop  *shrug* He answered you the first time..

Once I pointed out what that I HAD 2 keys (technically) he said it should work, though I am not really sure if he understood what I meant by the 2nd question. I can understand if he didn''t understand, because after reading it again, it would be easy to confuse what I was asking. Hopefully the main support center will be able to help me out here.  I still have to buy another LDON so we can play that together and they just released a NEW expansioon that I will probably want to buy. So in all I would say I will have to spend at least $80 more if I bought another Evo, LDON and 2 of the new expansions. It''s very aggrivating that one has to buy 2 of everything when they still get paid either way because of the account subscription fees. ;  I still don''t understand the question.  But the answer is clearly to stop playing Everquest. CM
