Another paranoid pre-order post

Hi guys,

Just wanted to check quickly - I've preordered the game for digital download and used the same email address as my Impulse account. But I go to my "My Games" tab on Impulse and I don't see Demigod there. Will it appear on release day? Or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

I'm wondering the same thing.

 

Are we going to get a code or something to add Demigod on release day?

Yup on release day it will appear under the My Games tab avalaible for you to download.

These paronoid posts are funny :P Dont worry guys, everything will work out fine ;)

And yup, on release day they send out the codes to the pre-orders (slightly earlier then they do for the others who didnt per-order).

The game will apear on your impulse My Games page as soon as you are charged for the game. The reason you can not see Demigod is because although you ordered it, you have not technically paid for it.  Stardock does not charge you for the game   until the release date.  Since Stardock ordering database (think purchasing department) and impulse accout registration do not interact, it is impossible for them to show your game until you have been charged and your impulse account information is updated.  Very annoying and why I have complained to stardock about this very problem.  Please add to another thread of mine about this problem here.

 

And before you ask, the charge seen on your account right now is a hold placed on the funds by the back when stardock asked to verify your account, and NOT an actual charge.  You will actually be charged on the release date.

 

Hope that helps.

Yes, but assuming you registered with the same email account you used to pay, the code will automatically be imported into impulse for you.  No copy and paste required.

Well looks like i will have a seperate account for demigod then i do for my impulse account. The reason been is I pre ordered it from this demigod forum not through impulse.

 

My Guess is that I will be given a serial on release day to add to my main impulse account.

Is this true?

 

I preordered on the "Purchase Now" thing. Will it still add it to my Impulse based on e-mail? Or will it e-mail me the code, and I add the code manually?

Since when you Preorder it, it doesn't ask you for your Account name, will it know to link your Purchase to your account based on e-mail or is it a different thing entirely?

Well I didn't know I had to use same email as my impulse account when i preordered. So My guess is that I will be able to activate the serial Key with my Main impulse account as the account i ordered with is only registed to this demigod forum.

 

I hope stardock clear some things up for its loyal fans.

Don't worry, if you ordered it on impulse, impulse driven, or demigod's page, as long as you used the same email as your impulse account it will auto-import the game registration code.

If you used different emails, you can simply copy the registration code that you will receive in your email on the day you are charged (release day) into impulse and play.  To make things easier for you, you can email stardock or call after you have been charged and ask them to "merge" the two accounts.  In the future just use the email account associated with your impulse account and it will be easy as pie.

Hehe I lived in fear if my order went through, because at that day I bought several licenses and I received no email, so I guess my hosting server/domain was down. But once I checked online banking my funds were gone in amount of Demigod cost. So in email from stardock I was assured they were only reserved. I think Impulse should list preorders, there are already statuses next to games/apps, saying if its "ready", "recently installed" etc. So why not "pre-order" when reservation went succesfull?

If you used the same email address when you ordered that you used to create your Impulse account you're fine. Otherwse, we'll have to merge them.

It should be telling Stardock that they should mimic Steam's system where if you pre-order a game, it shows up in your games tab right away, you just can't use it.
