I'm watching over my friends account. Well, um. I kind of just got a message in the top left of my screen that said I only had 1 hour remaining on my nightfall trial 10 day key thing. Well that's all fine and dandy, but she has had Nightfall since it came out. Any ideas whats up?

Did your friend purchase the EotN pre-release package? It comes with some trial keys so you can try the other games if you don't already own them.

That's odd, she put a NF trial on her account that already had NF?

She has all of the trials on it, Proph Factions and Nightfall. I don't know. She put it on about 10 hours ago, so that must be it. Why she put them on I don't care. Was just worried that her Nightfall thing was going to get removed or something stupid.

I thought you couldn't use trail accounts on existing accounts?
Didn't you have to make a new account for trail keys? hmmm

If you buy the GW:EN preorder it automatically applies a trial key for each campaign.

Ignore it. I got the same message last night, played 10 hours, nothing happened. This was just a bug.

/Mod move to bugs and close??

Thanks for letting us know about this. I don't see that there's harm, but I think it is interesting, nonetheless. (Of course, if you're blocked out after the "trial" ends on the account you already own, that's not good.)

I will pass this along to the programmers, who are a smart group of folks who always seem to know how to solve these things.

There is no harm gaile, but the people that already have all 3 campaigns and the order the pre release pack , isn't that kinda making the trail key useless?
I agree with some that it should send the key to your email.

Thanks for posting this guys. I was going to apply the pre-release pack as soon as I got it, but now I'll wait until this bug has been fixed. I certainly don't want my trial keys wasted...

Exactly! When you buy in the store, you get the trial keys to give to friends or what ever. If you buy in the game store, you get to use the trials on games you already own!
