i hope that someone will be able to shed some Light.

thanks.
BTW CE Rocks, Awesome Stuff

Go here:

Click the link about applying a code to an existing account.

EDIT: Some of us are having issues actually getting our upgrade to work. I have CE but haven’t been able to get any of the in game items.

The in-game bonuses of the CE are exactly the same as those in the Digital Deluxe (with stuff like the mini, Golem banker etc). The only extra things with the CE are the physical goodies in the box. So there is NO reason to apply the CE code to your existing DD account. Simply take the box with the physical goods, give the code inside that box to your girlfriend and you can both play with the same online benefits.

Also note that there is no way to remove a key from an account after you added it. So if you add the CE key to your Digital Deluxe account, you basically throw away a key. And in this case, their digital content is even the same.
