I believe it does. I think the point is, you pay for the comming month/s, you have to play the month/s to get the token for each month played.

Got my reply, too. Looks like the same copy block.

So, Points get awarded at the beginning of each paid month, with Sept.'s being given early (at headstart).

And Tokens get awarded at the end of each paid month.

That makes sense, and I can live with it.

As I said, I just wanted an official explanation of how it worked so that I could verify that I got what I was supposed to.

So, I'm squared away now.

Ok, now I'm confused because I just got my billing date on 10/2/2011. I don't have any points or tokens. It is no longer September.

Let's say your billing date is October 5.

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.

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.
