I'm not certain what you mean by downloading it online. Did you actually buy the game? If not, you will need to buy a legitimate Steam copy in order to get a valid, unused CD key to create an ESO account with.

@j_t_kirk I don't think he has it anymore.

Hello all,

I bought AOE3 complete edition on steam on 1 Sep 2014 but cannot create an account as it has been used by someone else. I have been stucked with single player ever since. Is there any recourse for this?

Are you 100% sure? Does somebody else have access to your Steam account? Did you launch the vanilla version to create an account? :huh:

Yes, i have the PID and CD key which i entered at "https://esoaccounts.agecommunity.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fAccountManagement%2fDefault.aspx". They provided me a ESO account with the name of neatly12 which i had no hand in making. I bought AOE3 with a couple of my friend through the bundle but I was the only 1 unable to create an ESO account. This persisted since 2014 but I only realised the problem now.

Is this thread still active? I've been trying to create an account, but I get the cursed 101 error despite starting it in vanilla and entering my valid steam product key.

Hi, I have many copies of the game and many have been disabled. Please can you show me how to glitch my CD-Key so I can create a new account?

Thank you,

Chris

I want to make a new acct just for 1v and PR Since jgals was originally my brother( It’s his school nickname) so I don’t really like the name. Bought a new copy of the game on steam but was unable to make a acct due to the 101 error. Even used the script given. Apparently stream issued BS keys. I’m wondering if they resolved this
