Well the billing server loves to have company when it's lagging so why
not the forums too.

It's amazing they have never been able to figure out that when people
can't log into the game they try to log into the messageboards to find
out why they can't log into the game.  But they have become very good
at saying "We are sorry" which they must think excuses them from
having to address the issues of why they are sorry. 

All puns intended.

Took me 3 keys.  And then another hour before the billing servers
acknowledged the key.   Then they took down the billing servers so I
couldn't get back in.

I finally got it to work sometime last night.. long after they had finished with the maint.

That being said.. the in game experience reminds me of AC1 beta.. lots of lag, portal storms, frame rate issues, and some other fun stuff.. ;-)

Play if you want and have fun.. but bear in mind it's Turbine.  They picked out a funky font for the text and it makes it damn near unreadable in some cases.

Oh, the turbine vendors in Sanmar had L20, 40 and 60 tokens for 1p.  Plus, you could buy most of the quest armor and weapons for really cheap prices.  I.E. The Olthoi armor and L7 spells..  It's still easy to gimp your character if you don't know what you're doing.. but at least it's not hard to fix it. Delete and remake. ;)

Oh, one last thing.. when you get your level up they also hand you two MMDs to play with...
