Well people, I have just bought the game Gold edition: Age of Mythology and the Titans Expansion

So I installed it and it gave me an error that my cd-key was invalid... I was like WTF, I have just bought it from the store, it was sealed!

Well te store is called MediaMarkt! The weird thing is, my friend also bought it with me so I could play online and gues what happend, same error...

So I asked what his serial was... So he sayd it and it was the same as mine, I was like :|...

So what should I do guys, I really want to play this game online, s if they give me refund, I dont want it, give me a working serial!

Return it for a new copy or call the company who made the game.

You can call Microsoft but if you bought it at the store return it and tell them the problem. Make sure you are entering the correct cd key with capital letters if need be.

Hmm... are you sure you're typing it in exactly as it's written? Because that's the only thing that could cause an invalid CD key at this point... the fact that your friend has the same key wouldn't matter until you tried playing online (although that fact could point to a CD-key problem). I'd call Microsoft customer support first, because the problem isn't with the store.

Hopefully you'll get it working soon... I love AOM, and it's probably my all-time favorite game, but we need more people online these days. :(

Get a replacement from the retailer, if that doesn't work, get a refund and buy somewhere else.

PS: what you are asking for is quite unlawful.

Wow, I've never had that happen before-although at the Age of Mythology forum I heard the value version(no paper manual),all all have the same cd key.But the gold version should be fine. On Rise of Legends (another Microsoft game) I was able to call Customer service about a question concerning the game,and I got through pretty quick.It only took about 10 minutes. Microsoft maybe able to provide a new key.Hope you get it working it's a great game.

This smells like a bogus thread. I will personally castrate anyone that even thinks about believing him; we can't have such gullibility in the gene pool.

Haha.

Well, Microsoft is actually pretty good about replacing titles that they publish. At least they have been with 360 titles from past experience. Never needed or tried to get a replacement for a PC title.

Well, maybe you entered the expansion key instead of orginal key? or spelled it wrong, since you can use any cd-key when installing the game, but you cant play it online, becuase you probably get cd-key in use.
