Torque 3D? I've missed a lot... Can I still upgrade from TGEA?

Hello everyone. It's been a while since you've heard from me, I've hidden under the rock that is college life, and missed something huge here at GarageGames apparently...
Anyways, back in 2007 I bought TGEA (as an upgrade from TGE, which I bought in late 2004) and had been having a blast playing with it in my downtime. But having not checked out GG much in about a year, I completely missed the development and release of Torque 3D!
So naturally, everything about T3D looks perfect to me. Although since I did not see an upgrade option, I looked elsewhere for all of the wonderful features T3D offers. Naturally I found Unity. I tried it for about a month, and all it did is made me miss Torque.
So here is my question: Can I still upgrade to T3D? As a poor college student who would love to maintain this hobby, upgrading is really my only option, as I can't afford it really.
Thank you,
Justin Woodman

Interesting, it does only show I own TGE... Well it doesn't matter because the purchase page shows the price of T3D as being $705. I wonder why it doesn't say I own TGEA though? It still shows in my list of purchases, and I can still download it!

Probably because you missed the site changes as well, which bequethed this little bit of happiness to several people ;) Email GG and they'll be able to fix you up.

Haha it doesn't really matter. I just wanted to make sure I was eligible for the upgrade pricing. How long to I have to buy it before I can no longer get the discount?

That discount lasts for ever because thats just discouting you what you payed for TGEA. There was a T3d discount that was cheaper but your months late for that one.

When you put T3D in the basket, you'll see any discounts resulting from previous engines. If you have TGEA, it should cost about $705. If you only have TGE (as your posting account shows), it'll be $855, I think.
