I finally got through all the horrible loading of pages to make an account, verify my account, re-add the pack to my basket and then as my checkout page is loading after 5 hours of trying.

"System maintenance, we'll be back in 30 minutes.

Thanks for your patience"

I feel the need to post to vent extreme frustration and just missing what's probably the best deal all year.

R.I.P. the job of the nameless person who might unfortunately be getting fired for this lovely fuckup.

Assuming it was a fuckup then you can almost assuredly change that "might" to "will"

lol. I'm actually thinking there should be multiple firings.

1) The person that made the mistake in the first place
2) The sys admin that should have been on call and noticed all the site issues and didn't do anything about it.

Don't blame the people working there, it is us who should take the blame, imagine that your server was designed to hold X number of people, now if for any reason, you put something that people would really want, then it's normal that the server would be overrun with people trying to acess the site.

I highly doubt that applying a 70% discount twice was what they meant to do.

I think it's a good idea though, I think Amazon and Steam should do the same :D

Companies usually account for thing like this by having servers at data centers that they can rent on demand. When the website gets hammered they start renting the additional server capacity and the issue is resolved fairly quickly.

You don't even need the Paypal tab open. As long as the order's marked "pending" in your order history then you're good to go. Order History

Sigh - what a lost opportunity. I also spent 10 hours trying to get through... would have been easier if all those people buying 2, 3 even 4 copies had not clogged their server.
I look forward to some appearing here to take a chance on though.

You can't buy more than two copies of anything on GamersGate without having to contact customer support.

EDIT: Apparently, you can gift the game to yourself to work around that limit. Huh.

Pretty sure it was a mistake on their end so I don't think they're going to care about whether or not it's "fair". I bet they lost a boat load of money on this.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

I had 2 orders at 'pending' both for 2 copies of the bundle. Because they were locked at the old price, I can still complete these orders. I've completed one and now have 2 copies. The only thing is though I am unsure how I get both sets of keys. Maybe someone more familiar with GG can help me.

After completing the order I am faced with a list, it shows the entire bundle, and then each individual game under it with tick boxes. I can tick to gift an entire bundle, or individual games. Is the best way to get both sets of keys gifting an entire bundle to myself on a different email?

If I don't gift anything, will I just be given 2 sets of keys in my GG account?

both are gifts?

Haven't tried gifting 2 same gifts at 1 email, but when you gift it to an email. You will receive all the keys in that email.

To be safe, maybe trying making 2 new emails just to get the codes

Well, I'll send one as a gift, and keep one on my account. It seems if you purchase 2 copies of the same bundle, after the payment you're given a list of them and can pick and choose what to gift.

So if I gift a bundle to myself on a second email, it'll just be an email with a list of keys for me?

Wait I forgot, I think you need to create a new GG account actually. Then put the gifted games there

As long as I get both sets, I don't mind. I'll select to gift an entire bundle to myself, on a different email to the one for this account. If it says I need to sign up an account to get the keys, I'll just wait till the site stops being shite!

No, the game will be like on your main account, in your library and you will need to press the "Show Code" button.

Be AWARE ! gift the good one :D Once I gifted the wrong one, and the only copy that was left was "Only giftable", You will need to write to support in this case.
