I love the badge art on these. It's why I collect badges.
I'm up to 679 badges now and I will have 681 badges tommorrow when I get Shop Keeper and Entrupenuer.

The badges are VERY nice-looking.
Thank you!

I guess I didnt get the bade. Which makes me sad because I thought I had my account active through August 15, 2009 to November 16, 2009.

Seriously though, well done!
I got mine. 
Friend of mine has to file a petition. She only let her account lapse for a few minutes, and support told her that she'd still be in the running, but hasn't gotten the badge.

Guess I'm one of the few who slipped through the cracks. I pay every month manually (I'm not a fan of any automatic payment system) So I guess that kept me from getting it even though my account has been active for nearly 5 months now.|

Everyone appreciates Loyalty and this is our way of saying thanks for all your support! |
[Edit] Now I'm wondering for those who didn't get the badge but WERE active during this time... Were you (or they in Dispari's case) a month-to-month account or a recurring subscription? [/Edit]
All I know is my friend was on a resub, but the card on file was frozen. She didn't think about it until a few hours later, and switched cards out. She has an email form support saying she wasn't deactivated long enough to be disqualified, so she sent that email as a petition to get her badge.

And sometimes certain bills take precedence over CoX for a few days hence why month-to-month)
I've already put in the petition but didn't think of a generic ask the question first before hand. Oh well I gotta do some work today before I can actually play so hopefully I'll see something in my E-Mail aroundabouts "Hi, we have checked your account data and noted that the amount of time actually 'off' was minimal and applied that badge to your account."

Ah well, tomorrow I'll find out. :x |

Pretty simple, folks. If you subscription lapsed, you're not eligible. If it didn't, you are. If it didn't, and you didn't recieve your badges, open up a support ticket. If you can't tell whether or not your account lapsed...then you've really confused me. At the least, I suppose, you could ask CS if it did or it didn't. But wow.

If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
I got mine! The badge art really is spiffy. The text makes me happy too, "Your shadow looms over not only the Rogue Isles and Paragon City, but the whole world."
Muahahahah!

Yeah, I'm still at work for another 4 hours, but I'm a little worried I might not get the badges. For some reason my debit card, which is usually billed on the first of the month, was not billed until the 2nd of November. I'm still using the same debit card I've been using for close to two years, and the account had plenty of money in it.|

Did my account lapse for a few hours or for a day? I don't know. I wasn't at home on Nov 1st, so I don't know if I was locked out ot the game.
(Does that still confuse you? Cuz it confuses me.
)If it comes down to it, I'll contact customer service. I've been with the game since CoH was in beta and don't plan to quit anytime soon, so I believe they'll be reasonable about things. (I lost a couple days due to my bank cancelling my previous debit card as a "safety precaution", if you're wondering why my bill date isn't the 28th.)
And either way, I'll wait until I get home from work and check for myself whether or not I earned the badges before I spam the poor customer reps.

Actually not so simple. Because it depends on the definition of "lapsed" What excatly is the amount of time (or days) for the account to have lapsed?|

Obviously you don't know the answer to this question however I do not as well and I'm pretty sure that 2-3 days in 4-5 months is easily overlooked as a bill processing issue or otherwise.
For vet rewards and such, the lapsed time states something in the range of 90 days (I think, my account is active at the moment and I can't see that status)
And by the way, lose the holier-than-thou attitude plz.
I'm more loyal to my home and food on the table than to some on-line game when it comes to the current economy.

It also marks #666 on my main hero as well...

Oh, no doubt! I just went through a bad patch myself! I guess I just can't figure how folks don't know if their account was canceled or not. If "lapsed" has another interpretation beyond "canceled" or "inactive account," then you are correct, I need enlightenment. |

Well, I pay in 3 month increments, though I really should go longer on my main, but I digress.|

I have really no idea when my account ticks over to the next billing cycle. If I was to cancel at some point, or if say, a significant other cancelled the account without informing the other party, then there could be some question as to when/if it's still active.
Edit - Or, someone could be paying with game time cards. If those are still available that is.

I thought of that, too. But if I wasn't on recurrent billing, I would know that I had to pay on time, or my account would lapse. That's the whole point of being on recurrent billing--to eliminate the monthly/periodic re-ups. I'm not trying for a "holier-than-thou attitude plz," I'm just confused how you can stop paying for the game, and not consider it your choice.|

Obviously there are going to be goofy issues. My bank got bought out in the middle of the Loyalty period, and my accounts got sold to two different banks. I had to go and rejigger everything, new accounts, credit cards, everything had to be changed over at PlayNC. But I never stopped paying. I firmly expect to get my badges tonight, and I will open a support ticket if I don't. *shrug*

How would you guys like it if the announcements only mentioned the EU time, simply ignoring the rest of the world players base?
It's common courtesy towards your customers I think. Since we're talking about loyalty and all...

Do you know why they primarily make announcements using PST? Because that's where their headquarters is. They're not lounging around in London saying, "Man, to heck with Blue Rabbit and the other European players! This game has officially gone to the Americans!!!"--they're in California, in the United States, and that's the time they operate on.
If Paragon Studios primarily operated out of Europe, I would expect their announcements to be made according to their local time just the same. It's actually kind of silly to expect them to do otherwise.
