Do I get a HoT key from official store?
When I bought HoT way back when the key was automatically applied to the account but it was also mailed to me along with the receipt. I was logged into the account at the time so that is expected. I would expect it to just mail you the key if you are not logged in or if you are buying multiple copies it will just apply the key to the account logged in and also send the second key.
Interesting, I wouldn’t have thought it would work that way. What if someone wanted to buy it for a friend without having it themselves first?
Every time I’ve bought it, even the first, it’s been mailed to me as a key. Though the first was a prepurchase, so the key came to me once it was possible to register the account to HoT, and the others were after HoT’s release and never made in-game as I was buying it for others.
If you buy it in the gem store, it’s automatically applied, I believe. If you buy it from the website, you get a mail with the key, as far as I remember.
