Are product keys linked to your accounts?

**w1z4rd** · 6th February 2006

The reason I am asking this, is when I started playing battlefield 2 I was using a mates serial key. Ive been in IT since the day of the Spektrum (remebers those things before the commodores?), and online 14 years, and I have never bought a single bit of software for myself (this does not include clients). I liked the game so much, I broke my software virginity and bought it.

Now I am worried that if my friend gets back into the game, that there might be a conflict. Even though I installed the whole game again with my new product key.

Anyone can put my mind at rest? I dont want to have to start over again.

Nah, you should be ok. Unless you're one of the Asault guys - then your stats get wiped

Yeh, but there was some itsy bitsy little stat padding involved too...

But the mainr eason for the reset were the new CD keys...

stats padding? new CD keys... oi! Im not liking where this is going...

You should be fine. Think about it like this: Can what you did be explained in a totally legit manner? Yup -
1. You started an account, you PC and discs got stolen, so you replaced it.
2. Bought it, didn't realise it needed broadband - sold it / gave it away - you got broadband - bought another copy.

I also used a "Demo" version for a bit, and I've had no issues.

Not by us! I think You are reading Rainy wrong. The stat padding was by the Asault guys. Stat pad here and you'll be declanned.

lol... so all those TK moments in which i later revived Fivel were illegal?

Hmmm - you should be able to play happily on the same account using more than 1 product key, so that would have had nothing to do with the stats reset for the asault guys. The real issue was the stats padding (which is still in appeal). Apparently when the BF2 servers started (back in the V1.0 days) the ticket ratios were very high, so it would actually have been possible to kill a guy 167 times in a round ... not so likely anymore ...

Back in the old days King Solomon had something like 1000 wives and 700 concubines... not so likely these days either. So Toxic wants us to believe that he was the ONE like old King S. Right. Call me a sceptic. All stat padders would love us to believe that.

So maybe the appeal would go something like this...

"Honest there were more tickets back then and ... and... and there were more fools standing around just admiring the graphics and ... um ... and then there were just SO many noobs running around new to the game...except for me of course I was just GLORIOUS... running around killing here killing there... there was this one noob in particular that I seem to remember ... what was his name again... never mind but he just kept running up to me and stood there looking at me ... I dont know why honest ...must have been the dazzling graphics.... so I shot him ....like 167 times."
