We are giving free, non restricted key instead of GAOTD one - just write email to <a href="mailto:support@wiredplane.com">support@wiredplane.com</a> with the link to this post.</p> <p>Explanation: there was a bug in activation module of this game. It was supposed to limit time for activating the game with GAOTD key, but *already* activated copies should stay activated without any time limits. Remember, the free copy should be activated in the same day when it is downloaded, we decided to make this key "activatable" whole august. But due the error, the key itself turned to be "limited".<br /> When several people writed about this issue to our support, we sent another, fully valid non-restricted key without questions.</p> <p>So, again, Sorry for inconvinience :( This is our fault. Just write email containing link to this thread and we will write normal key in reply.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1577#post-9883 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 19:13:38 +0000 Keilaron 9883@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>JWartist - Haha, nice :&gt; I hope I wasn't insulting you ;&gt;</p> <p>wjboozer - As much as I agree with your sentiments, I wouldn't blame GaotD for this. They had no way of knowing this was going to happen. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1577#post-9875 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 16:01:44 +0000 wjboozer 9875@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Just checked the forum on WiredPlane and posted my two cents worth, although I doubt it will do any good. The WiredPlane responder said to another poster (someone from here?)that limiting free keys was common and then expressed the notion that 20 days should have been enough time to play the game entirely - like playing through ONE time was all we were ever intended to do! I had been considering purchasing the game (as I said in the post that started this discussion) but not with that attitude. Either GATOD or WiredPlane can fulfill the original promise of fully functional, non-limited software or I'm done with both. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1577#post-9871 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 14:40:22 +0000 bluhoteyes 9871@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Same thing for me Bubby says trial has expired.

In a couple of minutes they sent an apologetic message explaining there was a bug in the activation system of the game (it expired after month)and provided me with the correct key. I entered the key and my email address and the game is now fully registered. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1577#post-9812 Mon, 03 Sep 2007 23:16:55 +0000 VampireRat 9812@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Same here. If it's OK to tell, the "prize" was a serial number for another product by the same company, WireChanger.<br /> <a href="http://www.wiredplane.com/en/wirechanger/about.php?language=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.wiredplane.com/en/wirechanger/about.php?language=en</a><br /> At the end of the game, you get a series of numbers/letters. E-mail that as directed and you get the SN in return. </p> <p>I hope they get this fixed. I go back to the games that I like and replay them. This one was challenging and entertaining. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1577#post-9807 Mon, 03 Sep 2007 17:32:21 +0000 wjboozer 9807@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Did anyone ever look at the Trophy Room and click on the icon "Prize?" I did and it popped up a dialog box with some message about sending the developers an email with those characters. I think it said you received a registration in return. I didn't write any of it down or take a screenshot thinking I already HAD a registration and that the prize was the code to another game perhaps..........now I'm wondering just what it really was. I've not uninstalled the game hoping there would be a fix. Will check back tomorrow in hopes there's a status change. </p>
