Vintarian, Very Important Vintarian, Member ?

What does it mean exactly: Vintarian, Very Important Vintarian, Member - whats the difference???

Admin or Moderator is clear of course.

Member: someone who made a forum account and uses it to post, but doesn't have a valid game key linked to it.

Vintarian: someone who has a valid game key linked to their account. They get access to a special forum section.

V.I.Vintarian: someone who not only bought a game key, but also a supporter pack on top. They get access to two special forum sections.

 

...mind you, almost no one ever posts in the Vintarian section unless they need support. Can't see the VIV section, but I imagine it's similar there.

Nice. How to link valid game key to my Member account ?

[Streetwind]

I... honestly don't remember. When I bought the game I simply followed the instructions in the mail that delivered the key to me.

Thread necromancy:  I'd like to buy another VS licence. I'd even like to buy support pack. However I'd like to know how to do it to have linked my forum account to my bought licence and have proper forum category.

As you go through the checkout process (place items in cart, then one or two pages past that) there will be a place to provide your email address as either a returning member or a new member. If your email address is the same as your forum account and you're making the purchase as a returning member, then I believe it should be linked properly. This is just my assessment of it though, having just done a 'trial' purchase to test it out; I've no particular special knowledge on the subject.

I've bought new license with my forum account and it works now. My account has proper category "Vintarian".

I think the problem with my old license was because it was bought as a gift by another person i.e. by another account.
