Your listening to me wasn't very good, MB. I still got it earlier, but not by the usual 3 week stretch I was seeing. For the 75th month badge, I got it around July 21st. The newly-stated anniversary is now the 28th, so that's when I'm expecting it to go live. (And if I get it earlier, I'll still announce it here, as it would indicate there's still a problem with the badge scheduler.)|

Maybe I figured I'd only get the 1000 other threads with people that were having the Veteran Issues to begin with. lol
Thanks for finding it. Curse you Turg! lol j.k |
Here's my announcement post about the 75th month badge if you want to see an actual timeline on it.

So silly... don't make me get the fish out. haha
Besides.. it wouldn't really be your fault that I limited the timeframe of my search.. and the thread ended up in a different section than I thought anyway.
This has actually got me to wondering...
Just how many accounts are there that will receive the newest vet award on the 28th?
In other words, how many of us have played since launch, and never let our accounts lapse?

If you ever had free time added to your account for referring people, it will offset the date. For example, I created my account on the 13th, but my billing date is now the 8th because of various 14/15 day free time I've been awarded over the years. Adding retail packages may also change the day of the month depending on how it's worded.|

Remember:
"one month" is not always the same as "30 days".
A monthly payment from the 10th will let you play until the 10th of next month, regardless how many days go by...
but if a retail package (or time card) gives you 30 days, and you use it in a month with 31 days, you'll only be playable until the 9th of the next month.

It definitely isn't from referrals, but it's possible that it could have moved back a day from one of the retail purchases. The total lapses in my account should probably have pushed the day up one to counterbalance, as I know I had a good 12 hour lapse when I switched cards once, and a few hours before I noticed a couple of other times. It's just one of those weird things that happens, I guess.|

Edit: Come to think of it, there might even be a more simple culprit here, the month of February. I suspect that any account that normally expires on the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month would be reset to the 28th every normal February, and the 29th on a Leap Year February.

That's a very interesting concept, and you may be right. An Account expiring on the 31st and buying a "one month" subscription would be active until the 31st of the following month... but since that day would not exist (unless it expired in July or December), it may truncate to the last day of that month.

Yo.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. 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.
Even though I was in the head start, I didn't get my hands on a Live Code until a few days after CoH went Live, and so, I was usually a few days late on getting the most recent Vet badge.
But now, my account lists the 28th as the reward day for all past and future Vet Rewards. Yay for re-writing history!

Okay so that's roughly 6 or 7 of us who raised their hands as expecting 78-month badges by the end of the month...
There's got to be more than that! Anyone think that a mod might have access to and be willing to share such a statistic?
It would be interesting to know just how many die hard, true faithfuls have been around since day one, continuously (or roughly day one).

I'm not so much interested in whether people started the 'day of launch' or maybe a week or even more after that, due to whatever circumstances may have arisen.
It seems that the 'start date' as become increasingly irrelevant as the devs have made some alterations to the reward system in any event.
Really, what I was wondering was more like this:
How many people who started playing/paying either at launch, or some short time thereafter, have remained paid subscribers on an essentially continuous basis (allowing for things like unintentional lapses of a few days) up to the present day ?
It was certainly NOT my intention to point fingers or to derrogate in any way anyone who has not done so. And of course, soemone who just signed up yesterday could be a 'true faithful' in some sense of the term.
I hope that clarifies, without offending.

Started day of regular launch. My badge is due Nov 1st.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
LOL,
I get all of the Vet Awards... Even though I only played for 2 months right after the games release...
Granted their was not enough content back then (I remember when people could finally wear a CAPE!, it was Big Thing!)
