this template has been used 33 times since August 30th /Edit 2 PROBLEM SOLVED!! Some great Redditor who will remain unnamed was kind enough to fix the problem for me and I'm now free to log in and create. Or probably just get frustrated and quit. Thank you to everyone who helped out or made any kind of a suggestion!! You guys are awesome!!!!! /Edit I've been getting some downvotes. Maybe that's just trolling or maybe people think I'm super mad about this or something. Just to clarify, I'm not mad that this happened. It was clearly just some kind of glitch, or something went wrong during verification, or I'm just being an idiot and missing something obvious. Not mad about the situation, but I would like to either join the fun, or just have my money back. So, I paid for minecraft the other day. My card has been charged, the funds have been deducted but the website still says I need to pay for the game. Read all through the FAQs, made a post on the "official" forum, I went through the tech support email list all the way to emailing tech support (i.e. none of the suggestions fixed my problem). I found Notch's email and sent an email straight to him. I tried emailing the tech support directly. Still nothing, I can't play the game. At this point I would almost rather just have my money back, but I still want to try it out. Does anyone have any suggestions that I may have overlooked? Is there anything else I can do?
