Putting this up here so people can see quicker without searching for it.
1) Sign up as an IGN Prime 7 day trail.
2) Enter either credit card or paypal information to continue with it (you will NOT be charged if you follow these steps).
3) After sign up is complete, go to your "Manage Prime" area: https://s.ign.com/prime-manage
4) Turn off "Automatic Renewal". This way, once the 7 day trial is over there will be no charge.
5) Download the free games/addons that you can during the 7 days from http://my.ign.com/prime/hub
6) When you click on a game and click "Get My Free Game" choose Log In and put in your IGN Prime account information in the boxes.
7) Enter the code you get in Steam.
Do I need to have that 15$ on my paypal? Atm I've got there like 8$ and Paypal says that I need to add a credit card to my account when trying to verify IGN trial.
Unfortunately those links won't work for me. The account management page says my trial is active, but those links say I need a prime account to access the game. Any ideas? Their support aren't very helpful, and it's been 3 days since I made a ticket.
Thank you for that link, it worked great for me despite my account being all messed up.
(Explained in other threads, but I got charged despite having turned off auto-renew, account says I'm in the middle of a trial (despite being charged) and on top of this all I can't access the Prime Hub (it acts like I'm not on Prime...))
At least now I get to play Rochard while I wait for IGN Support
When you create a trial they put a subscription over your Paypal account. If you cancel your account on IGN they'll not charge you, but cancelling also on Paypal prevent them to made any charge even if you forgot to cancel on IGN.
Nothing to worry but I'm a little paranoid with this subscription things xD
Amazing..I have the subscription as mentioned above in Paypal..my account in IGN says Current Term Ends: 02/14/2012 and auto renew on...yet I can not log into Prime.
Joined.
Subscribed to prime.
Got email confirming im a prime member.
Try to download game.
"You must be an Prime Member to enter this exclusive sweeps"
kill me
I thought it was doing the same but I just had to click on the paypal icon to accept and agree. Even though it kept saying required on the credit card fields.
i think its dead, they must have fixed it so that trials dont get the free crap.
No, they can still get free crap. I think they may have fixed the whole infinite trials thing. Not really THAT surprising since every site ever has been putting up threads like these, I'm sure IGN took notice. A real shame, though :\
That's strange, my free trial period ends on 06.02.2012 (according to an e-mail they sent me yesterday), but when I log in and click on Prime I get nothing but the ad-window you get when you don't have prime yet. And when I use the direct link http://www.fileplanet.com/betas/rochard/ and log in with my still running IGN Prime account, I get a message that I need to have prime to get the game.
BUT, if I try to get the free Trial again, it says I already am Prime at the moment ("The user xyz already has access to the selected subscription.").
I had canceled the automatic renewal on the first day of the trial period and deleted my credit-card from the account, too, but the trial period should still be on.
Hmmm I joined prime it said welcome to Prime...then kicked me out to HUB...I logged in and it sent me back too HUB. So in other words..It is billing me for Prime since I can not log in to use it or cancel it.
LoL..I decided to try and pay again using Trial..I got this message:
"Sorry, you have already used the one allowed free trial of IGN Prime for this IGN account. Please select a paid package."
yet I have the e-mail:
Below is a receipt for your subscription to IGN Prime
I have the same error he does. Both on IGN and fileplanet tells me that I'm not a Prime member, when I got the email confirmation that I am a Prime member, and even when i look at my account information on IGN, it says I'm a Prime member.
Have the same problem, both firefox and chrome give me the same answer. On the Prime Hub it gives me the "Join for Free" promo but when I choose the "7 day free trial", although I´m member already, it gives me the "The user xxx already has access to the selected subscription. "
It also tells me that:
" Prime - Quarterly
Current Term Ends: 12/31/1969"
Although I received an email a couple of days back saying "IGN Prime Loss of Service Date: February 17, 2012 " so it should be valid.
That screen seems to check if you are logged to fileplanet instead of ign directly. So if you are logged to fileplanet with an account that does not have prime you will get that message. If you are not logged to fileplanet at all you will get a second login button in that prompt.
No, I logged onto Fileplanet with my IGN account. I'm pretty sure the others did too. On IGN itself, when I click Prime, it shows me the advertisement to sign up for Prime.
So you can't get the free trial without giving them information allowing them to raid your paypal, essentially meaning the game is on sale and not free at all?
No, you can cancel the free trial. You just need to put up information.
Woohoo! Amazing game!
do you need a gmail account orso?
hotmail wont work :(

done. thanks
http://www.fileplanet.com/betas/rochard/
log in with your ignprime account. Fileplanet is owned by IGN btw.
Alternatively log in to ignprime There's a Giant banner on the top with a picture of Rochard that takes you to that page.
This worked wonders for me.
Ign.com failed and didn't register that I had Prime.
Going to fileplanet.com and signing in and using that link got me the steam key.
I also figured out that this would get me King Arthur by this link:
