Realm versus Realm - Red vrs Blue - Goblins versus Dwarves - Horde versus Alliance - Good versus Evil - Side-A versus side-B
From EA Mythic's website...
RvR combat takes place on three fronts where ancient foes wage an unending war - Dwarfs vs. Greenskins, High Elf vs. Dark Elf, and Empire vs. Chaos. Players begin the game fighting their ancestral enemy, but are free to journey to other fronts to help their allies in their ongoing struggles.

"Getting your goods repaired or replaced
If there is something wrong with your goods and you aren't entitled to, or don't want to get a full refund, you can ask the trader to either repair or replace them for free instead. You might not be able to get a full refund if, perhaps, you had the goods for too long before realising there was a problem, or before the problem became obvious.
If you take the goods back within six months of buying them, the trader must accept that they were faulty at the time of sale and offer to repair or replace them. If the trader doesn't accept that the goods were faulty, they will have to prove this."

The City of London (Financial district) has had a "ring of steel" (police cordon and camera's, with the *occasional* spot check) since the mid 90's, this was eventually widen and finally formed part of the congestion charge zone, in 2003, which was then widened again in 2007 to include a large part of West London.

There is currently a consultation published to convert the *congestion* charge to an emissions related charge.
Surely it is more that you have bought an incomplete product, the authentication key allows you to register to create an account. As you bought a second hand product you should have been supplied the account registered by the authentication key.
I would imagine that the person who sold you the game is still using the account, it hasn't been canceled and they recouped some of the cost of buying the game by selling the boxed set on.
I cannot think of any other "retail" online game where there is a second hand market, as the authentication key supplied is the only way to create a new account.
Also cancelled/subscription lapsed accounts aren't immediately recycled/deleted as quite often subscribers return & want to renew their account. Picking up where they left off.

Are they aiming for one point oh?
Interesting that the client for this is MS based when pretty much all other BBC online content (BBC Raido) is distributed by real player clients.
