Well, with both my daughters playing on the two accounts I reactivated
using the downloaded AC referenced in this thread, I did try to start a
new account for me to play with them. Unfortunately, no joy. Trying to
start a new account requires a CD Key to setup the account with billing
on the Zone. Bummer. So I guess I can't play together with my kids until
Turbine starts selling Dark Majesty themselves.
But this file was perfect for installing a copy to renew old existing
accounts and for that I'm very grateful. :-)
