Ok so im trying to upgrade my account from trial to full and when i put in the full correct credit card information i get the error 202, i just used this card to make a purchase earlier today so the card isn't the issue, does anyone have a fix for this or must i go out and buy a retail copy of the game?

"Error 202" usually indicates that the provided payment method is incompatible in some way with the selected online purchasing system (in this case, a digital upgrade). This doesn't mean that the payment method is invalid or in poor standing. Rather, it's just a sign that something isn't syncing up with the online transaction.

In these situations, it's sometimes best to first ensure that the account's billing information is up to date. If everything looks solid, then you're welcome to contact our Billing & Account Services department by phone. Our representatives will be happy to work with you and assist with your transaction in any way possible. :)

Alternatively, you may want to pick up a copy of the game from a retail store. This has the added benefit of upgrading the account immediately and not needing to wait the possible 72 hours for payment processing. When applying the CD key though make certain you are upgrading your trial and not creating a new account. :)

Good luck!
