Good question. I'm thinking not, though. All Architect Edition was a re-release box with a few account items that came out when the issue that introduced AE went live. It wasn't really any kind of expansion or anything.

Nyet. The Architect Edition was simply a release to coincide with the mission architect release. It will not automatically grant permanent access to the architect system.

I think there's a tier level that grants it, I just can't remember what it is.

other option is to be VIP and get all of that from the get go

(just kind of pointing it out)

Also, registering a copy of Architect Edition will give you one month of VIP, and up to two Token Rewards for building those Tiers. If you have a copy with a still good code, go ahead and register it. It's probably the best (and cheapest) way to start out.

Note that buying cheap game DVDs online that are "used" or "previously played" or whatever mean that the code has been used and is no good any more. Just sayin.

The AE edition also used to come with a free booster. Science or Magic. The question there is, is that promotion still valid since they did away with all the old booster packs.

Not saying much, but when I applied the AE edition in August to my 2nd account it did. I'm unsure of what will happen now though.
