Good vs. Evil In-Game Items Pack

05 Oct, 2006

Available on PlayNC.com now!

We’re pleased to announce that the in-game items from the new Good vs. Evil Combined Edition of City of Heroes and City of Villains are now available to existing City of Heroes and Villains players via the PlayNC.com website.

These in-game items include the Jump Jet Prestige Power, the ‘Pocket D’ VIP Card Teleport Power, and exclusive hero and villain costumes. The In-Game Items Pack is available for £5.99/€8.99.

Read on for full details and how to purchase the Good vs. Evil In-Game Items Pack…

Before purchasing a Good vs. Evil In-Game Items Pack, there are a few important things to bear in mind. Please be sure to read all of the following information:

  • The In-Game Items Pack can only be used to upgrade an existing City of Heroes, City of Villains, or combined City of Heroes + City of Villains account. It cannot be used to create a new account.
  • The In-Game Items Pack does not include any game time. It just upgrades your account with the in-game items from the Good vs. Evil Combined Edition.
  • The In-Game Items Pack will not give players with a City of Heroes account access to City of Villains, or vice versa.
  • Game accounts started with the serial code from the Good vs. Evil Combined Edition of City of Heroes and City of Villains, or existing accounts that have already been upgraded with the Good vs. Evil Combined Edition, will not gain any benefit from the In-Game Items Pack. These accounts will already have access to all the Good vs. Evil in-game items.

To purchase a Good vs. Evil In-Game Items Pack for your account, follow these simple steps:

  • Sign-in to your PlayNC Master Account at PlayNC.com.
  • On your PlayNC Master Account page, scroll down to the ‘Online Serial Codes’ section and click the ‘PURCHASE CODE’ link on the right-hand side.
  • On the Purchase Online Game Code page, scroll down to the Good vs. Evil Combined Edition entry and click the ‘Europe’ button. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click ‘Submit’ and then follow the prompts.
  • When you return to your PlayNC Master Account page, the serial code for your In-Game Items Pack will be listed in the ‘Online Serial Codes’ section. Make a note of it, then find the City of Heroes, City of Villains or City of Heroes + City of Villains account you wish to upgrade in your ‘Games list’ and click the ‘ACCOUNT DETAILS’ button beneath it.
  • In the ‘Game & Version’ section of the Account Information page, click the ‘UPGRADE’ button, enter your upgrade code and click ‘ADD’.
  • That’s it! Your in-game items will be available when you next login to the game.

Important notes:

  • Make sure the account that you wish to upgrade is not logged into the game servers before starting the upgrade process.
  • Due to anti-fraud and security measures on the PlayNC system, you may not be able to buy more than one code each day. If you wish to upgrade more than one game account, you may need to use a different credit/debit card for each code, or wait for 24 hours between purchases.

I think that its a bit un fair that those of us who have been purchased both the vip edition of coh and cov previously have now got to pay an extra payment to recieve vip rewards that this double pack supplies surely I should recieve these as part of having the vip edition of both games already?

0Posted by Necrospawn on 06 Oct at 10:40

Good idea, tho i have ordered the GvE boxset… yes i have both CoH and CoV but i like to have the boxes and comics n stuff wink.. plus with the included month game time, the price all works out about the same anyway!

wher are i can ragistar???

0Posted by dean on 10 Oct at 05:44

was just thinking about getting the good v evil but wanted to know what costumes do you get with the pack plesae let me know thanks

0Posted by @DarthBadger on 11 Oct at 17:07

Getting errors on the site - won’t take payment on any of my cards (Viso/MC etc.) poor customer service!

0Posted by Trell on 14 Oct at 19:10

I have begrudgingly paid for this as my SG want to use some of the costume options as an SG uniform but i still think it is wrong to charge extra for what in my opinion should have been a part of I8. Those of us who have already paid out for both games AND paid a monthly fee for a long time are not being fairly treated in this.

0Posted by Mugsy on 17 Oct at 21:30

Reality check guys, if you dont like it dont pay it, its that simple.
If you do want buy it and be done with it.

If your sg wants parts from it then take it up with them.
Either way £5.99 is about the same price as a monthly games magazine, so dont buy one this month and get it instead. Consider there have been 8 free content upgrades to the game in addition to veteran rewards and countless other things including double xp awards along with possibly the best communication I’ve seen in a mmorpg.

Give the guys a break, and if you feel like it vote with your wallet.

i have the combined box set but i dont seem to be able to get auras round my player or smoldering eyes, is this just available on certain types of archetypes or as you get better??

is this jut a online payin for it game or is there an offline game ?silly question i know

0Posted by Simony on 22 Oct at 21:17

Can I upgrade my existing CoH if I buy the GvE edition or do I have to make a new account?

0Posted by craig on 28 Oct at 19:10

i love this game so much, ir this game was never invented then i dont now how i would live , i dovate my hole life to this game, and love anyone that plays it

0Posted by Watching on 29 Oct at 02:15

I agree that this is a total “ripoff” and abuse of the customer base, why should people have to pay for ingame items ? is PlayNC losing so much money on this game that they feel this is acceptable ?

Mugsy, if this goes through and is taken up by the customer base, what is to stop them doing it every few months ? btw Mugsy people didnt want the “8 free content upgrades” which is why a lot of people canelled their accounts in the first place, maybe this is why PlayNC feels the need to “steal” more money from remaining customers :-(
It is stealing when you charge someone more than once for what they have already paid for.

Hi guys, first of all congratulations on a great game.  I like mant others cannot afford to pay for extra costumes and have to offline every now and again because we simply cannot afford the subscribtion.

Is the day on the horizon where advertising will pay for this game instead of the people who by playing make the game what it is?

All those billboards and no sponsors?  Make it free, more people play, we see adverts, we buy their product, everybody wins.....

0Posted by Mkoll on 01 Nov at 23:23

Peaceful, what you said about advertizing would ruin the game totally, everytime you log on to the website or game, up would come some advert to by “super coke” or something. and seing an advert doesnt make me want to buy it, it just ruins websites and slows down your browser.

This sounds good, but this is gonna eventually end up like Guild wars, not dissing the game, but it not so diffrent as for paying for a patch for new clothes and items, i think this should be pennies rather than £5.99 (or €8.99). i know its special edition but £5.99 is just over 80% of a monthly payment, so it’d be nice if it was cheaper.

0Posted by mag on 02 Nov at 18:59

Was wondering if u could help me, this good vs evil charge of £5.99. is it a one off payment or is it another monthly subscription.

0Posted by Tim on 17 Nov at 12:41

God get over it people! Pay or dont pay! If u like the game as much as u all “claim” then u wont mind helping to keep it afloat! You’d all be the first to kick up a fuss if the game had to close through lack of money, so just grit ya teeth n bare it!

Jeez!!

NCSoft are a business, not your parents, they’re here to make money so get over yourselves.  Also it’s fair to remind you that you can play both CoV and CoH for 1 subscription fee… that’s 2 games guys.

Good work NCSoft

0Posted by Cr3ator on 01 Dec at 07:24

I think its odd that the CoV collectors edition doesn´t say that you have to buy more game time in order to use the included 1 free month. I only found that one out after i had bought the PlayNC game time card. Not that it matters, I just returned the box to the retailer for full refund.

0Posted by ginger raider on 09 Dec at 20:02

i would like to say great game guy i find it most addictive on the other hand i would like to see more people playing it so price could come down alittle, if you are gonna charge 5.99 for add on in the future couldnt you lower the price of monthly subscriptions a tad to compensate that way we all win

Hey, i bought this code. Did everything it said and it hasnt even appeared in my game yet…

0Posted by Freelock on 01 Jan at 00:13

I purchased a couple of days ago a serial code for CoH and now I wanted to add this in-game item pack but everytime I want to make this purchase I get “fraud suspicion” even though I did it by following the steps you’ve mentioned.
When I click on the link European Support Team to let them know, I get

Operation Failed
Illegal parameter

downer

0Posted by The Evil Cone on 12 Jan at 10:26

I bought tthe good vs evil combined game pack. I love it. Only thing missing IMO is that the offers only 1 serial code for 2 games if there only were 2 so everyone would get 2 free months smile. But the game hasnt come yet and im waiting hard for the game and the truth about Jet Pack (can or cant u slot it)
