Hello,

I purchased AOE3 + War Chiefs a few days ago, and when I tried to create an online account to play multiplayer I got this error:

"Account creation failed: (101)
This CDkey cannot be used to create any furthers accounts"

I called microsoft and they told me to post on this forum.

How can this be solved?

Thanks a bunch!!!

same thing happened to me i think your screwed.

Did your software come in a plastic that was sealed with a Microsoft seal?

Yes it did.

If you are receiving a [101] Cannot Create More Accounts with this cd-key error, that is because your cd-key is Valid, but was already used to create an account. You will need to purchase a new, unused copy of AOE3 to create a new account. That error is not caused by this problem.

To all those pointing to the [100] error thread, try and actually read it. It's unrelated.

Posting irrelevant information just makes it unclear. The bottom line is this: the game is original, factory shrink wrapped, and it won't work online.

I purchased a closed box set with AOE3+ War Chiefs, from a local retail shop here here in Israel.
Metris, Looking at the post you mentioned, it seems this isn't related:

Does this basically mean I need to return the game to the shop?
The shop says call microsoft, microsoft says go post to this forum, and the forum says buy a new copy.

you're from israel? Kewl. can you tell me some kosher recipes? The local jewish guys refuse to talk to me because i've got a bald head, lol

EDIT: btw dude, the problem is KNOWN. there is a thread on this inthis forum:

clickety: http://forum.agecommunity.com/forums/thread/821976.aspx

read it for yourself.

So, unfortunately, you just have to be patient. Look at the bright side, it gives you more time to practise offline, because online is way tougher than against the comp.

The box was factory sealed. The CD envelopes inside were also sealed. The store is as legit as it gets, the equivalent of gamestop or bestbuy.

I sent an email to age3.help@ensemblestudios.com but haven't gotten any reply.

Is anybody in charge here in the forum? In a position to solve this?

I'll give microsoft another call and will post my results, hopefully I'll be online soon :(

Youre best chance is to call up microsoft customer service and complain, im not sure what the number is in Israel but im sure you can find it.

Your error means someone is online using your key or the key is fake.

I know a dude who rang up microsoft and made a false claim about something similar and he got a free key in an email in return, so try your chances, sound confident and give them your product ID number im sure they will give you a new one.

Did you a buy a factory sealed copy of the game or some pre-owned ripped packaged game, if so someones bought it made an account and returned it, took down the cdkey, or something, thats why its always wise to buy factory sealed products.

Hmm.. What is the software piracy situation like in Israel? I know that in some countries, especially in Asia, piracy is rampant and many used copies of Microsoft software are being cloned and sold as new.

If you purchased a brand-new Gold Edition then the problem is not on your end, it's on the server end. Read the stickied first thread in this forum for details.
