City of Heroes Holiday Promotion!

I'm on the credit card payment plan, but I don't have a credit card. I've never had a credit card. I never plan on getting a credit card.

I have a bank account and a debit card that works like a VISA card only the money comes strait out of my checking account.
If you have a bank account, this option might be available to you - check with your bank. If you already have the VISA (or possibly another credit card) logo on your debit card, you should be good to go.

I have a question :

Am I able to purchase this multiple times on one account?

I am thinking the if I can purchase the latter one in which you purchase for 12 months get 2 months free six times. Can I get the seventh year free?

The game has been healthy for almost 5 years and I believe even in a rough economy, it is still going quite well.

Actually for Tabula Rasa NCsoft is:

"If you are a player that has pre-paid for Tabula Rasa subscription time beyond January 10, 2009, you will be refunded for that pre-paid time by February 28, 2009."

You can look HERE for the full details, but in short - they're doing all their customers right, beyond that even (IMO at least) I'm looking forward to the Aion stuff.

Granted that's how I got into TR (after they did basically the same thing when Auto Assualt shutdown), tbh I had more fun during the TR beta than after release, and it's a real shame - looking at the TR site it looks like they're just got all the cool stuff ready to go & some of the things like the crafting system redone into a cool system vs what it was at launch, and the Personal Armor Units - to bad it took a year to get it all straight. And the economy being as bad as it is had to be a factor in their decision to shut it down.

And I'd really been on the fence about getting back into TR again to try out all the redone & 'looked forward to' stuff...

(I've had an active TR account the whole time = I paid for a 1 year sub at Launch. But I've been busy with COX trying to keep up with all my alt-itis, in conjunction the 60 limit = Market Wipe, and all the Seasonal Events/Invasions, etc.)

I think it that really says something good about CoX & NCsoft. I've checked out the competition in the Hero Genre - and "it's been weighed and found wanting" aka no true "HERO System" Character creation in CO, and a gamepad control setup - Especially with DCUO = they both seem like console fighting games not MMO's.

At first glance Aion doesn't seem "up my alley" really, but I was digging around on-line the other day and read that it's using a Modified version of the "CryEngine 1"- and that REALLY has my hopes up. The draw distance in FarCry was legendary - and the lack of draw-distance in Tabula Rasa was it's downfall in my book.

(I mean 60 yard range on a rifle & a 90 yard range on a sniper rifle?!?! = /facedesk, /facedesk, / facedesk)


I'm looking forward to the Aion Beta - and praying they have more realistic draw distance for ranged weapons, maybe not FarCry sniper rifle range, but something more believable than TR had. (what can I say, draw-distance is a big deal for me, I like to play the "marksmen"/sniper role - I wonder if they'll have a fantasy-ish version of that?

Anywho, If Aion seems decent they'll probably get at least another year sub outta me for Aion, and I'm not quitting CoX anytime in the foreseeable future. I have a sub thru next Sept iirc and I'll probably take advantage of this Holiday Deal too - so I'll likely be playing thru... something like 2011 - at the least.

And if they did shutdown CoX, I believe (from past experience with AA & TR) they would refund pre-paid time beyond the date the server goes down or 'free'. Unless maybe ALL of NCsoft somehow went under, and I just can't see that happening - and certainly not in the 'foreseeable' future!

I know everyone else has moved on, but I wanted to check in and see if anyone else had a problem with this? I switched my billing to 12 + 2 on both my accounts about 3 weeks ago. The first account came up due yesterday or today and the system did not renew. I had to manually renew this morning, which means I didn't get my +2. I have my other account set to renew in about another 6 weeks, and I don't want to miss on that one getting +2 like my primary account just did. I need to know if there is anything I have to do to make sure I get the deal still, since I signed up for it but couldn't find a way to make payment on my credit card at that time.

Well, I can say it didn't apply automatically. My account renewed in the middle of the promotion for 6 months, and I didn't get the +1. I suppose it's my own fault for not checking on that, but it's a pain in the butt that I'd have to drop the subscription and then renew it for the same length of time to get the special.

I put my account on 6+1 awhile ago, it renewed for one month. When I contacted support, they tried to explain to me that when it finally did renew again that it would renew at 6+1 but I don't really believe it.

Sounds like a few people have some questions or trouble with billing. Please contact PlayNC Support as they are the best resource to making sure your questions are answered and your account information is correct.

Let me know if there are additional questions.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Ex. I did plan on contacting support, but wanted to check with other players first to see if someone already had an answer. Figure I consume less resources if another player already has an answer than if I make support give a response, but I will hit PlayNC to ask since no one seems sure of the answer here.
