How do Prophecies Collectors Game Activation Cards look? - Guild Wars Forums

code · Mar 09, 2010, 08:51 PM // 20:51

I have one, but NCSoft support tells me my code is a Collector code but my card isn't a collector card. WTF

Can anyone post how theirs looks, on the side where there isn't the code?

Mine has a ranger on it.

you're complaining that your card is listed as a collectors edition for prophecies but its really not?

jeesh i've seen some prophecies CEs go on ebay for a lot . ..

There have been cases of Proph CEs containing a normal edition card and key. Is this the issue? BEcause I assume if you had a CE and your key gave you CE benefits, you wouldn't be contating support. So, what exactly did you buy, what does the game say it is, and what do you think it's supposed to be?

I have the CE, and my code is already used (Error Code = 103). But the box was still sealed and the code unscratched when I got it. So I contacted the Support and they are telling me that my code is a CE code but that my card is not.

Error code 103? Huh, that would be the "already used" code, not the "you already have access" code. I recommend just replying to support, explaining that you bought it sealed and unscratched, with any photographic evidence, receipts etc that you can possibly provide. I have personally had to battle a case where a CE contained a non-CE key, and patience, photographs and being nice and forthcoming with the info helped tons. Good luck. It isn't exactly unheard of for there to be mistakes in the keys.

I did explain everything to the support and sent them 2 photos of my access key and box. But all they answered is basically "your code is a collector's code, and your card is not a collectors card; bring it back to the store".

I made a post on Gaile's talk page now and it seems like she's looking into it. I hope she will be able to shed some light onto this.

Well, you say you bought the CE and support says it's a CE code. This makes me think that someone managed to either:
a.) read the key off the card without scratching it, perhaps by x-raying the card. (This was done to some lottery tickets a few years back.)
or
b.) managed to re-coat the card with some scratch off stuff. Perhaps using the same equipment used to make scratch-off lottery tickets.
followed by:
Re-shrink-wrapping the box.

Or, maybe not.

code · Mar 10, 2010, 04:51 PM // 16:51

But why would they say that it's not a CE card then?

hattara · Mar 10, 2010, 05:01 PM // 17:01

I don't really understand why it matters that your card (supposedly) isn't a CE card, if the code on it IS. The issue (based on the error code) isn't that it's not a CE code, but that it's already been USED. This is very confusing.

For the record, I had a green card with a female ranger on it, from a CE box, but the code on it was a normal edition code.

If it's in use I'd guess a keygen could've generated it and someone else used it. I don't know much about Keygens for guild wars though.
