NCSoft store horribly slow
I pwnd U
The offer runs until May 31st, so if you want to be able to do it without the laggy site, wait a week or two. Then the server won't be getting blasted.

Bah, about three hours and every security code is fail. Maybe I'll try again in a week or two. Epic fail making it through the NCsoft store.

I am only afraid if in a week or two we are all still trying to get in :P

Trying to make an account at the moment. It's going painstakingly slowly.

Utter crud, I keep getting "invalid username" when trying to make a playNC account, since I can't remember whether I even have one in the first place. And yes, the site is slow as molasses. I dont see why they can't just make it automatically appear when you speak to the xunlai agent.

I got mine last night during dead hour 2:30AM EST. Still took me a good 45 min. sigh
Also i first tried to use Mozilla firefox, but got errors. So I switched to Chrome and it worked.

When I'm able to get as far as the password recovery page, the image times out. I finally got the "you have exceeded the allowed number of attempts to change your password, please try again later" message. Meh, I have over a month to try it out. Seems like a few people are getting through though, free up some space on the site for the rest of us lol.

I tried for about 2 hours last night between 10pm CDT and midnight. All I kept getting was the invalid code message.
I tried again this morning for about an hour from 8:30am to 9:30am. Again, just getting the invalid code.
Epic Fail regarding NCSoft's server capacity. I'm just baffled that ANet/NCSoft didn't have half a clue that there would be this massive surge of people flooding the site with the questionable way they set up the free storage pane. Definitely not very well planned.

(Invalid Coupon Code. The Coupon Code you have entered is either not available on this product, or you have exceeded the maximum number of uses)

Lets see. You own a shop, and you decide you're going to give away a free gift. Why on earth would you make people come to the shop to get it? You should just deliver it to their homes goddammit.

After hours of trying all I ended up with was the message:
"Invalid Coupon Code. The Coupon Code you have entered is either not available on this product, or you have exceeded the maximum number of uses." I hope this is just a problem due to the heavy load and that I'll be able to actually get the free pane. I've already seen others mentioning the same problem, so we need someone from ANet to respond to this problem ASAP. |
-edit-
I finally got my free pane! Final-friggin-ly

PlayNC probibly didn't expect this many people with an actual PURPOSE to come to their site at once lol.

If this keeps up Anet should extend the code past May....I've been playing almost the full 4 yrs and I'd like to think I've earned the storage.

i have this same problem. and i tried making an account but everytime i enter something for the user name it wont except. and it slow as a snail for me too. so how can i check if i have an account or even make one if the website is to slow and/or wont work?
Black Metal
what a frustrating night. Tried about 100 times, kept timing out, getting the image not valid message, or not having the code actually show up.
I REALLY wish there was an easier way to get the free pane.....seriously, who thought this way would be a great idea?!?!?!

After over 1 and a half hours of trying, I've managed to get this...5 times:

It still isn't showing up in my storage. I've tried logging off and logging back on. I'm certain this username is linked with my guildwars account. I typed in the promo code correctly as you can see. Still, through all of that, I still get an invalid or already administered to account error. What am I doing wrong?

Oh man...I've been trying to get to that site for 48 hours with no luck. Constant error messages saying the page cannot be displayed and then I can't even sign in. It's a major pain in the butt. I realize there are 5 million people trying to get in but if NCSoft knew this was coming couldn't they have been more prepared for it? What sucks more is that there's a time limit and at this rate some people may not even be able to get it at all due to lousy connection, which is totally unfair.
Silent Coyote
Did you have to do anything to get it after receiving the error or did it just show up after waiting a while? I got the same error and it hasn't shown up in game yet. Not sure if I should try again/be more patient/accept I screwed it up.
Tearmaker
I got to the point wherey ou put the code in and then it kept timeing out. However once I went in game my storage pane was active, so make sure you check.

Well, and on top of that, people who actually would like to buy any of the items from the new update are being stumped, too. Whatcouldpossiblygowrong?

Hopefully it reduces their numbers.
I'd hate to have to see NCSoft refund millions of people after they finnaly come to their senses about this new GW market ideal.
At the same time, it's incredibly impossible to investigate whether or not I have an account and what the password is. I'd really like to know before its too late to email AND get a response with my info.
Ahrel
Ridiculously slow here too, but it's only the secure part of the site (store, login). The rest is fast (by comparison).
I was gonna buy the makeover thing I saw last night, I've been unhappy with a few attributes on a handful of my 10 characters. Maybe another slot too, to run around as a noob again. And a few bag slots.
This runs until May 31 so I hope that it's not always this hammered until then.

Last time I logged into my NCSoft account, I believe it was to purchase the pre-EOTN thingy. Then, my login ID was an email address. Now, it's limited to 8 characters, so I have no idea what it is, and if I create a new account (which is literally impossible now with the timeouts and errors), I might not be able to link it since my GW account already is linked. This is ultra frustrating, and horribly conceived.
bel unbreakable
thats what my problem is

I tried last night. I hoped I would get through to no avail. I attempted this morning and encountered the same thing. I have been trying for the last hour. I am slowly making my way through. I am at the point to enter my personal information and I have to enter the security code. It is so secure I cannot see it.
I am very very disappointed.
Thanks NCSoft store!

I cannot even see the security code. Did they explain why? :-?
doxology83
i try to at least recover my password hoping it will send me my login details and i can't even do that because the security code either doesn't show up or expires every time. been trying for two days with multiple browsers. it seems like a joke. i don't understand why they just didn't either give everyone the extra tab in their account or do it though the store in guild wars instead of this ncsoft store. this is irrating me and i feel like i am going to get ripped and not get this because of all these issues. if this is something for free for everyone, why not just like them get it in game through the xunlai agent or something?
FireWhale
got the invalid code thing. I'm leaning towards that it'll take some time to update in-game. I'll post an update in the morning.

I was able to get my Free Storage and a Name Change yesterday, although I didn't see the confirmation of purchase.
So watch your emails, make sure you don't buy twice! (I wasn't aware I had successfully purchased once I decided to check my emails a few hours later)

The site is working good this morning but that could be due to my location (eastern US time). Maybe most folks were still asleep 2 hours ago.

Western Europe here and it's working flawless now.

The site is working fast now, got the free storage on all my accounts
Yang Whirlwind
I keep getting: "The Server secure.ncsoft.com took to long to respond". They need to extend the deadline for getting the free storage pane if this isn't resolved fast!

The PlayNC store you access from the game is running beautifully for me, but the browser just won't load - and that's what I really need.
Been trying since last night and still no luck(East Coast). Seems to be running slower now this morning compared to last night, probably because everyone is up and playing on a Saturday morning.
UPDATE - Okay, literally less than a minute after posting this I tried again and the site is running mint. Absolutely no wait. Got both my accounts done in 90 seconds.

Im not gonna bother wasting my time on this storage thing, I don't need it and I hate forced advertising so im going to boycott it and anything else that they try and sell.
Chthon
Worked just fine for me a few minutes ago. I think the rush has subsided a bit.
