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.

2013-06-19 21:06:20 Customer: It's all good
2013-06-19 21:06:21 GM Abeadan: Happy to help! Is there any other matter I could attempt to assist you with today?
2013-06-19 21:06:57 Customer: Yeah, so am I going to have to pay a monthly subscription for this game, or do I have to pay only once?
2013-06-19 21:07:26 GM Abeadan: You only have to pay the once. There is a monthly subscription available if you choose to subscribe, but it is not required
2013-06-19 21:07:41 Customer: Do these give me any special in-game features?
2013-06-19 21:07:54 GM Abeadan: Membership benefits currently include access to the Time Accelerator, an exclusive item of the month available for your character to claim, 1200 bonus points a month, 10 veteran points a month and a 10% discount in the item store.

2013-06-19 21:09:07 Customer: Alright! Sweet!
2013-06-19 21:09:24 Customer: Thats all I needed to know, thanks!
2013-06-19 21:09:35 GM Abeadan: Thank you again for contacting Funcom Customer Support. I hope that you have a pleasant day!

You just reminded me; I should check on my support ticket I sent in months ago about being unable to buy NX through credit.
Edit: They replied after 4 months, told me basically what the error message said, said they are unable to tell me more for security reasons, and closed the ticket.

It's weird, usually they take my SSN, my drivers license, passport, creditcard number and my Walmart coupons!

"Sir we need your Walmart coupons."
"Why?"
"Cause um.. we'll give you special items!"

Wow
That's pretty amazing
