In your previous post you posted the date as Oct. 17, 2005.
Game Tap will be available in Canada starting Oct 17, 2006.
Which is today, by the way, so try again!

Thank you Nissa.

I stand corrected and edited my post. :oops:

I followed your advice and tried to register again and got through this time but was stopped by a question about "promotion code". I have no idea where to find it and even if I used the link from over here I did not see anything (box or line) related to Uru Live.

I did receive a message yesterday ...

Dear Myst Online: Uru Live fans, etc, etc.

but no promotion code was included. Why is it so complicated is beyond my understanding.

If I had a suggestion to make, it would be "keep it simple dudes"

Anyway, I decided to not to join at this time and will wait for more "make sense infos"

And if you think I am more on the "dumb" side, I would agree 200% with you.

From the link given at the beginning of the thread, I would imagine the promotion code to be CMT06202006000080.

Just because it asks for a promotion code doesn't mean you need one. Just as long as you pick the right subscription plan you will be alright. You will get to confirm all of your information before you submit it, so don't worry.

Yes, there's the special plan for 59.95 (4.95 for a year). You shouldn't need a promotion code to pick it.

Well it is done. I have been able to get through the registration maze.

All I have to do now is to wait for Uru Lve to get on line.

Thank you all for the great support through this quest.

You were right, the promotion code was not needed. :oops:

Just signed up on Saturday using the link and getting the full year birthday special! This was just too good to pass up.

Guess what?

Yeah .... another email - a repeat of the last one - more salt in the wound.

Ahem... it would be nice if the 'powers that be' refrain from sending the offer to Europeans - when it's perfectly obvious that it is as much use to us at the moment as a chocolate fireguard.

Ditto that.

That's all I have to say for now...

I have signed up for the special 3 times in the last few days, and it is still showing the original subscription type, although I printed out the receipt. I sent an email to Customer Support and they responded this evening with the suggestion to called the toll-free number.

You're sure that it isn't just because the new billing cycle (?) hasn't started yet?

Andros · **Posted:** Wed Oct 18, 2006 3:35 am

I signed up today(Canada here) and I'm very surprised.

I so do not have time to spend on Gametap because I'm in an exam rush but I played some of my favorite childhood games: Bubles Bubles, Altered Beast, Alex the Kid, Wonder boy... so many good games to play...

I guess I can wait a tad longer before being invited in beta.
Thanks Gametap

Your subscription plan doesn't start right away. You have to wait until your next Gametap billing cycle. Just print your receipt you get at the end and you should be fine.
