Am I still eligible for Rogue beta?

KGameLover · 09-20-2009 09:32 AM

OK, here's the story:
I logged on on Thursday, then decided I wouldn't play at all Friday. Saturday I got on and turns out my sub expired Friday, so I instantly renewed as soon as I got the chance. Am I still eligible for the Going Rogue beta?

I would be very disappointed if I wasn't as the Rogue beta was a key feature for me to get my sub renewed before it started.

Any of you know?

Best thing to do would be to PM one of the community reps (Avatea or niviene,) or go through support. I'd be surprised if it were "Miss a single minute and you're out," there's likely some leeway in there.

See my Guides and Tutorials

I'm willing to put money down that the automated system that will grant closed beta access will NOT grant you beta status. However, we have AWESOME community service reps here. Do what Bill recommended, and they may be able to help you out.

Also remember that there are other ways to get into Betas, including being lucky enough to be randomly selected. Never despair!

You could always pre-order when it becomes available, and you'll get in as well.

I'd still /petition so you can try to get the Loyalty badges though.

Thanks for the help guys! I just sent a PM to both of them.

Where can I find information on how to get in the Rogue Beta? I assumed you'd get in with a pre-order, and of course the people they choose nad random lucky people, but what other ways?

Loyal Through Thick and Thin

Quote:

Going Rogue Closed Beta Access will be granted using a three-tier system:

Tier One: City of Heroes Veterans with 60+ months of paid time.
Tier Two: Loyalty Program players
Tier Three: Players who Pre-Order Going Rogue (Preorder details to be announced at a later date)

Loyalty Program players are:

Quote:

All City of Heroes® and City of Villains® players who maintain an active account for the time period beginning August 15, 2009 and ending November 15, 2009

Loyalty Program players will also receive exclusive loyalty badges: "Vigilant" for Heroes and "Determined" for Villains, which will be enabled within one week after the promotional period has ended.

Thanks, happily it seems I will qualify for all three tiers

How does that loyalty thing work? I'm reading it as you have to be active from Aug. 15th to the end, but I really hope not. I had to let my account lapse for a few weeks while we dealt with some money issues, but now I'm good all the way through April. As of April next year, I will probably only have 3-4 weeks of none paid time in over 14-15 months. But I don't get in and have a badge for that? Bummer.

I know they announced it earlier... just feels lame that you had to be active for ALL of that time. But I am grouchy from grading today, so maybe that's the problem. Heh.

That what loyalty means. If you lapsed for a couple of weeks, you were not Loyal.

If it had been a day or so while sorting out a billing problem, you might have been able to /petition for it, but unfortunately I think you are stuck this time. Sorry

Grey Pilgrim · 09-27-2009 02:57 PM

Yeah, I know. It just feels like if you were active for a month during that time, it should be enough. I know it's just a badge and a beta that I won't have too much time for anyway (I only have so much time to play, so I prefer it to be on "live" content that actually affects my game), but I still feel a little slighted. Oh well.

Thanks for helping clear it up.

I would ask just to be sure but I'm guessing GUESSING! that a break would have to be an entire billing period. That is to say a month. But that's just a guess.
