Here's how it would work. As soon as the BEW opens, I login with my current account (which is using Fender's friend pass), delete my characters (so I can recreate them on my new account), change it's password and send the details to Fender. Fender can now pass on these details to his friend. The account will be tied to my email address but since it will likely only be used as a BEW account, that should be ok.

I can then create a new account for myself using my pre-order key and create my characters on this one and, eventually, use it once the game is finally released.

This still leaves my friend pass for OverRide.

What do you think?

You activated that key after the last beta event right? You didn't play any time with that key?
Send the details to Puff.

That's right :icon14:

Puff, I'll send you the account details via the email address in your profile (if there's none in your profile, PM me an email address). I'll email you again once I've deleted my characters off that account and changed its password to what I emailed you previously (this should be shortly after 8 AM GMT on the 18th of Feb). Hope that made sense :S

OverRide, I'll email you my friend pass when I get home. Again, I'll send it to the email address in your profile (if there's none in your profile, PM me an email address).

you fucking vagina

Wahey, apparently characters are not going to be wiped this weekend.
That'll make for some odd party mixes, but could be useful for harder missions.

BTW Memph, that key you got with PC Gamer is still valid if it hasn't been used yet. Chunk could use it this weekend.
Or you.

Yea, I read about that earlier. It's a shame because I'm gonna have to wipe mine anyways

.. I suggest we all start with level 1 characters.

That's my fault isn't it.

Funny login screen:

From the E3 alpha, I think. Not sure if Swedish Chef is still available as a "language" or not.

Post by **Mat Linnett** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 8:56 pm

Yup, it's still there.
Hehehe.

Aye. You fucking bastard :icon33:

Hehe. Nah, I don't really mind starting afresh. They're gonna be wiped before release anyways, so it doesn't really matter. Also, IMO it's a lot more fun starting from level 1 and progressing upwards as opposed to starting with high level characters.

Post by **Fender** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 10:46 pm

I really won't have much play time this weekend. I'm going to keep my level 9 character.

Roll call bump:
To make things easier, give us yer character names, or at least intended character names.
That'll make finding folk in game a lot easier; just add the character name to your friends list.

My character is "Thrud the Crippler".

Memph, if you've still got the CDs from the October PC Gamer there's a GW key on the back of one of the cases...

Post by **Mat Linnett** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 9:09 am

BTW, it's up and running NOW.

Post by **U4EA** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 9:11 am

It's finally up.

Puff, I've changed the password to what I emailed you earlier.

I've got a level 20 Monk/Ranger called "Florence Nightngale".
