Anyone who likes Collector’s Editions and loves pre-order bonuses quickly finds themselves in a conflict with World of Warcraft…
Replacement Code for Double Buyers
Anyone who decides to buy a Collector’s Edition of the current World of Warcraft expansion has had to grit their teeth for a few years now. Since Blizzard introduced digital goods, they also offer purely digital versions of the game that often entice with pre-order bonuses, leaving players torn.
Should you jump in early and just get a Digital Deluxe Edition? Or should you wait until release day and pick up your Collector’s Edition from the retailer?
Already with Warlords of Draenor, there was a solution for these fans by refunding the purchase price; now a similar procedure is being introduced for “Legion”: If you first buy a digital version and later also get the physical Collector’s Edition, you will be refunded an access key for Legion. This is how to proceed:
- Secure a digital version of Legion in pre-sale (and benefit from the bonuses).
- Buy a physical Collector’s Edition as soon as it is released.
- Enter the code for the Collector’s Edition on your Battle.net management page
- Contact customer support, explain your case, and request a replacement code.
ProfitA second game code!
The method was presented by Blizzard itself in the WoW forum of Battle.net.
The second code can then be wonderfully gifted to a friend who managed to keep their hands off until release day. Alternatively, you can use it later to potentially lead others back into addiction…
What do you think of this system? A lot of effort or is it actually a nice gesture that this is possible?
