Players on the forums asking for Turbine cards to be in stores for the holidays Stores do not carry them anymore A employee at WHSmiths in UK said they had some but they are discontinued and no longer in the plan for shelf stocking.

I myself have formatted the computer to get this to run better with no improvement until I have tried this workaround.
