Subject: Used Halo PC key for nameplate on the wrong account (Need Bungie help)

About a week ago I learned of the Halo Reach nameplate page and seen you could activate your Halo PC copy and get a special one for that. Knowing that this one would be the most elusive and rare I was eager to activate mine and be the envy of everyone else on Xbox live. (exxageration :D)

The problem is that in my haste to activate this nameplate, I had forgotten that my windows live was on auto sign in to another one of my accounts and I activated it on that one. *facepalm* This accounts gamertag is Keiku7 I'm quite sure and it's silver with no achievements or anything on it so you'll see that it was a complete mistake and I'm not trying to scam or get a free nameplate like other people.

I have the legit copy of Halo PC with the CD key I used, box and everything even the receipt from about 3 or 4 years ago. Information for both of the accounts to prove they are mine. I'm sure I have anything else you could need to fix this problem to Bungie. Really hoping you can fix this situation for me so I can have the awesome Halo PC nameplate on my actual account and not a silver I made for... well I'm not even sure why that account even exists.

Pretty unlikely to get sorted I'm afraid. :(

You'll probably need to buy another copy.

Um.....Red name tag??

Your out of luck. Sorry man.

Bungie doesn't respond to threads or do anything to help a long standing customer who has bought and played their products since the beginning?

While I imagine that will work if you give them a proper story/enough crap about it, I shouldn't have to. I have a legit copy of Halo PC sitting in front of me. I just made a mistake registering the key on the wrong account and now I can't use it again. I'm sure a Bungie staff member could easily click a mouse a few times and fix my problem by activating the nameplate or by emailing me another key, or deactivating the key I used so I can use it once again on my actual account. The last probably being the easiest as if they gave me another key they wouldn't know if I was just going to sell it etc.

If they can't sort it out for me soon or respond I guess I'll have to resort to scamming the Microsoft support line for another key, hope I don't have to sink that low though.

Ask Sawnose. If he says no or doesn't respond then you're out of luck.

sadly there are many noobs doing anything for a code so Bungie might not do much.

Who is Sawnose and how do I get ahold of him?

That's like saying who is Barack Obama. -____-

How can you be so ignorant to "not" know who sawnose is?

:(

I don't troll forums much if at all

also my question still remains unanswered

he is a MOD who works at Bungie. he helps people with account issues.

sometimes he directly replays to posts sometimes he does not.

  • 09.26.2010 9:24 PM PDT

Okay, I'll try and figure out how to send him a PM. In the meantime Sawnose if you come across this thread could you let me know if theres anything you can due to help out.

Like I said I have the CD key thats been used on the wrong account, the Halo PC box, information for the account I accidentally used it on etc. Anything you need to prove this is a legit mistake and I'm not scamming or begging for a key I have.

  • 09.28.2010 4:24 PM PDT

I'm curious, were you able to fix your problem?

  • 10.01.2010 11:22 AM PDT

As of this moment... no. I sent Sawnose a private message explaining my situation and giving a link to this thread but I never received a response back. I figured I would send him another one soon and if he didn't answer back I would call Microsoft and get another key.

Apparently MS are no longer issuing new keys for HPC via the support line.

With enough -blam!-ing and proof that I actually own the game anything is possible I'm sure.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

People are hijacking threads to beg for the Reach flair now? I'm in shock.
