The problem is, it doesn't matter when they first subscribed, nor how long they subscribed for (ignoring the T8 bonus PP), as long as it was before Freedom - technically, in your example, before July, when the prerelease bonuses started. What matters is that both of them were subscribed from July, onward, and from that point is what the game is looking at now.
-- Joe and Steve started subscribing to Freedom on the same day: September 13.
-- After the weird months of September (both got points on the 14th) and October (Steve gets points on the 11th and Joe gets points on the 28th), Steve will get his points on 1st and Joe will get his points on the 28th.
-- Due to the way NCsoft handles game cancellations, you will typically have more than a month's notice to the end of the game, and the last month typically does not reward any bonuses. Thus Steve's points on Penultimate Month 1st and Joe's points on Penultimate Month 28th correspond to the same number of total free points in Last Month of Game. -

Don't really know how you'd be able to represent alchemy in City's animation system.
I have seen a lot of people play Poison as an alchemy set though. -
Note that in the quote, I missed removing a phrase so that #2 has conflicting information. Ignore the "you'll get it on your next billing date" phrase, which was part of a different way of wording it prior to cleaning up my text.

Quote:Yes. Let's say your billing date is October 5.Originally Posted by woodone
So that's for the points. Are tokens under a different rule for distribution? If so is it end of the billing cycle? If not then should those people with a billing date of the 1st already have received the Oct. token? Ah well, one question answered at least thanks for the update.
1. Sever Transfers are awarded on the first of the month. (i.e. October 1)
2. Paragon Points are awarded on your billing date (i.e. October 5) - however, Freedom launch was frontloaded with extra PP, so if your account was active during launch, you got extra PP. Therefore, if your billing date is before October 11 (according to a GM), you won't get your PP until October 11
3. Paragon Reward Tokens are awarded at the *END* of your billing month (i.e. November 4)
Yes, this means that anyone whose billing date is October 1 through October 10, you won't get your PP until October 11.
Yes, that means the rewards are all on a different award date. Yes, that is kind of dumb. -
It takes all of five bucks to get tier2. (Or less if you can find a cheap clearance box.)

Freems get Friends channel. Using an old account that used to be a trial account and was converted to a Freem account, I chatted with my main account via /f. (The error message listed in the top pane is because I accidentally tried to talk in /f before actually friending Krkutnir.)
NOTE: Friends channel isn't added to your window automatically. Make sure your window actually has Friends in it. -
Beta and Test are separate installs so make sure you're looking in the right place.

I agree that having the detective highlighted is annoying. Problem is, the radio missions are the only way to get new contacts once the low level missions are finished.

I agree completely. One possible other way to handle this is to work an extra mission into the new starting arcs that actually sends a new player into KR to get a police band radio. As long as it happens before Twinshot's "Go talk to the trainers" mission, it won't interrupt the new players.

This requires all being on the same server, but:
Player A: /friend Player B
Player B: /friend Player A
There is a chat channel called "Friends". Player A and Player B can now talk to each other on that channel, regardless of where they are on the server.
/f Hi, Player B! How are you doing tonight?
Note that if Player C friends Player A but not Player B, Player C will see comments made by Player A to Player B, but will not see Player B's responses. -
Hey Zwill, isn't this an i21 bug? Neener neener!

They removed it. It existed in Beta but never existed in Live.

There are some reports that returning vets with premium accounts have access to HEAT/VEATs, but no one knows how or why. They are not supposed to, according to everything we've been told. They require either a VIP sub or purchase on the market, but I personally know of at least one person that has access to them as premium.

These are the rewards for owning X number of tokens. The rewards you get for slotting the tokens are not listed. Trenchcoats are the reward for slotting your second token - this only requires obtaining one token, since every account starts with one token in the Rookie place.

Quote:July 1 - 400pp - prelaunch bonusOriginally Posted by CaptainMoodswing
Oh. I was under the impression that the PP was NOT "extra", but what we were due for September and got them slightly early. I further gathered from other posts that this would change for October.
August 1 - 400pp - prelaunch bonus
September 1 - 400pp - prelaunch bonus
September 14 - 400pp - frontloaded release extras -

I think Razor makes a mouse that has a bunch of mappable buttons on it designed specifically for MMOs. That might help him while he's using the mouse. I'm not exactly sure how cheaply that mouse can be bought for but something like that might be a viable "one hand" solution. Good luck to him regardless.

Making a facetious comment that completely ignores Kit's qualifier ("above the bottom tier CPUs" - Pentium 4 is solidly in bottom tier these days) doesn't help your side of the discussion. :/

Let's say your billing date is October 5.

Quote:The option is for UNCLAIMABLE rewards, not unclaimed rewards. Things like the Ascension Armor (50-only) on non-50s.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
I think there is an option, somewhere in the general options, that will prevent the red-letter notice from unclaimed account rewards.
I've not checked it myself, but I recall it being mentioned. -
Quote:Correct. VIP points doesn't care about when you created your account prior to Freedom. VIP points began on September 13; anything before that is irrelevant.Originally Posted by Liquid
So, am I getting this right?
I've been active since the game went live (April 28th, 2004). Since my billing date is the 28th, I don't get my points until the end of the month. Someone who subbed on the 1st of the month at any point after me gets their points on the first of the month (except in October 2011, when they get them on the 11th). Let's call this person Steve.
So in September, I got my 400 points (I actually get the bonus for being at tier 9, but let's use 400, because Steve is at tier 9 too, and I don't remember what the bonus is), and so did Steve. In October, Steve gets his 400 points on Oct 11th, and I get mine on Oct 28th. For every month after that, Steve gets his points on the 1st, and I get mine 27 days later.
This effectively means that, assuming we both stay subbed for the exact same amount of time, Steve gets 1 month more worth of Paragon Points than I do, simply because he subbed later than I did. That's kind of weird.
HOWEVER...you will in the end, end up with the same amount of points if they ever end the points system. He will get his last block on the 1st and you will get your last block on the 28th.
You can, of course, let your sub lapse three days until the 1st to correct this perceived imbalance. Then both you and Steve get your points on the 1st.

Quote:You don't get a Paragon Reward Token from purchasing subscription time, only points. General_CoH said "haven't purchased any PP" means there is no "first time purchase" PRT.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
I believe it's 5. "First purchase" is anything, including a subscription. It doesn't have to be points. Then your 3 month subscription gives you 3 more tokens. Total 5, including the first one everybody gets.
Additionally, they changed how subscriptions award Paragon Reward Tokens; you do not get any PRTs up front like they planned (it was broken). If a brand-new Free Player subs for three months, then they have one PRT - for having an account. At the end of the first month, they are granted one PRT for a total of two. At the end of the second month, they are granted one PRT for a total of three. At the end of the third month, they are granted one PRT for a total of four. -
