Just asking if anyone else got this email today from PWI?

I received it today and it includes a code for a free Tiger Of The Deep mount supposedly...I'm not posting the code because it says its bound to your account and not to share it ...so...

The problem is when I try to use the code in Arc it says its not a valid code and when I try to post it via the link in the email they sent and enter it, it says to "Please input a valid code"

Anyone else get this code email and does it work for them?

    Same thing. Code was emailed to my account for my toon that i started in early 2009. When trying to activate the code by Arc or by the email link, i get "Please input a valid code".

    Just thought I'd ask or if I was all by myself on this....seems weird to me because the code is 16 characters long...I've never seen an Arc code that long before

    On a side note they say they are sending me a Plushie of the Kittyshops

    i think it would make more sense to mail the mount

    I checked my email and received a code, a very long code that according to ARC codes isn't one. Just due to the length and number of characters. So great job PWI! Thanks for the code that doesn't work.

    Mmmm I still don't get any email.
    About the long code could be a mistake.

    But also, if I remember correctly there was some in-game option to redeem rewards but that must be something from China that they left on our version by mistake. The option was on the mailbox npc (if that can be considered a npc lol) and it catch only numbers so I doubt its that.
    I will try to test it if I get any mail... And If i can log in because my net is working really bad today.... Guess there will be no 2x for me, just my luck lel :|

    I just tried the in game exchange via the mailbox. That doesnt work, it requires 20 characters all of which have to be numbers. The code I received is 16 characters and is alpha numeric.

    lets be clear guys,the email for the sparkle treasure trove (or something like that) is not the email in question,the email in question specifically references "terror of the deep mount"..

    if you did infact make a character within the acceptable timeframe mentioned herein,please file a ticket with customer support,its better that way

    (sides the alternative is raising a rucukus and thats usually unconstructive)

    nice nit pick but in honesty it was listed the email i got as a anni gift email, so it is apart of it and what the question is asking. any code of 8 characters is to long for pwi codes to work, so someone might have goofed with the code maker. plus sending an email going to the spamm box makes it annoying for many players simply won't go looking for it.

    as a side note ~ grats to who gets the nice prizes :)

    I have put in a ticket to support as my code isn't working. Support are saying the code is valid and to try again later. Been trying at all different time since and it still isn't working!

    i figured out the goof,see,the treasure trove i got ,well the code,was 7 letters and one number

    the mount code i got was 7 letters,one number,and then an exact repeat of 7 letters and one number

    one of the easiest errors for a code generator to make,or glitch shall i say,one repetition too many

    My code had no such repeat, just 16 random alphanumerics. No worky.

    A couple of my faction members have been a bit suspicious about the email in question and suspect that it might not actually be from PWI (yes, it is possible even if it says it's from them). Don't quote me on that, though.

    I did see a screenshot of an email a faction member got since I didn't get one myself, and then compared it to a legitimate email I got with the Sparkling Treasure Trove. The format certainly doesn't add up - the font on the code to redeem and the link below for redemption don't match up. I checked previous PWI emails and it was the same case with those, too. Hopefully a staff member can clear this up.

    Also, the faction member who just provided the screenshot just claimed someone attempted to log onto his account just now so that's a bit concerning.

    Or it might be just another code for a different PWE title.
    I dont know how the codes for other games look like but in PWI the lengh of the code was always the same.

    I did not get any mail or code whatsoever (except the treasure trove) on any of my accounts so this is probably just a hoax and a mistake or a scam like you said :)​​

    Don't think it's a code from any PWE titles, I think the coding format is the same across each title, or we'd get an error message in Arc saying we haven't got any characters (that's assuming whoever redeems doesn't play other titles). I've only heard of a small portion getting this email myself xD I know that they're not perfect with getting emails to everyone (I missed out on my main account for a code for the Knight or Holy pack or whatever it was called) but this one missed a ton of people.

    Im wondering if it was sent to only a certain bracket of cash shoppers. Only certain people i know recieved it and then only people who seem to regularly charge quite a bit. Some came with a request for the player to update arc with addresses to send a plush toy to, and some did not, which also seems to suggest a separate extra special bracket.
