2013-06-19 21:00:18 GM Abeadan: Greetings! Thank you for contacting Funcom Customer Support.
2013-06-19 21:00:22 GM Abeadan: Could you tell me your username and a little bit more information about your issue?
2013-06-19 21:02:17 Customer: Yeah see that is the thing! I don't have an account on here. I was going to make an account for The Secret World using the Steam key I got from buying the game from Steam. However when I filled in my key it brought me to a page where I had to fill in my country, and then pick a game. Which lead me to the registration page of The Secret World where I had to pay for the game again.
