Wait time for serial code?

Hey,

I just bought another serial code for my account to use on my wife’s email so she can play. I bought it with PayPal, and I’m probably being impatient, but how long does it usually take to get the email with the serial code? It’s been 20 minutes so far, and I don’t know, I guess I kinda just assumed it would be a moderately instantaneous transaction.

Does anyone have any idea how long I might have to wait to get the serial code? Do they not send them past certain business hours? Do they manually accept PayPal transactions and manually send out the serial codes?

My main question is: How long does it take to receive my serial code after purchasing through PayPal?

Thanks.

I would have expected that the purchase would be processed immediately, once the PayPal transaction was approved. I note you did check your PayPal account to see that the purchase went through, and you checked the email’s junk and spam filters, just in case the email was misdirected. So you did all you needed to do, which is great.

It it not common for there to be kitten -minute delay, but I’m glad this all got sorted out and please extend our welcome to your wife — I think she’ll love Guild Wars 2!
