i bought a second copy, and no code in email. just a link to register acct. funny though a guild mate bought a copy as well and instant code, and she has a second acct now… so if Anet doesnt plan to honor their screwup how bout throwin us a few character slots….
What you suggest gives rise to the issue of compensating the new players who bought the game. I think it would make the most sense to refund it and announce another sale in the near future. either way one group of people or another isn’t going to be happy. this is coming from someone who did manage to buy it in the hopes of introducing someone new to the game who otherwise wouldn’t drop the cash for it.
