Holiday Bonus Time
Ok, I'm paid up till Sept. 2012 already. I forget how this works with people that aren't close to renewal. If I add the 12 month plan, do I get billed for it now and have the time tacked on, or does the billing actually happen when my current plan is up for renewal in Sept. 2012?
**EDIT** reread the post >.>

Woot! Thanks. I've been looking for one of these ever since I botched up the last one by cancelling to change my CC info.
Since I didn't get the email (I never do, boggle, I have the box checked), thanks!
Yep, I don't get the emails any more either... except when I occasionally do. ????
Thanks for the notice, Tony, I shall keep a sharp eye out for this.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
Thanks for the heads-up, Tony.
Personally, I subscribe a year at a time, but I don't think I'll be taking advantage of the bonuses this time around. I'm not feeling very confident in the game this days.
If others want to extend their sub and save some money, more power to 'em.
And, Commander, the extra time you purchase with these deals DOES get added to the end of your current subscription.

To the community reps: You might want to check into this dead link, because it looks like it's not really "dead" per se, but that it's trying to load a section of the Black Friday announcement page that doesn't exist. When I did a trace of it, it's trying to load this page with the following GET parameters: utm_source=newsletter_coh utm_medium=email utm_campaign=email_na_20111122 utm_content=bonustime That particular combination of GET parameters isn't working; it's being redirected to a maintenance page. It looks like someone forgot to add the bonus time section to the news announcement page. ![]() |

So, those GET parameters are actually working. They are just not part of the visible page you get.
I tried taking advantage of this last time but failed to read the actual date of the offer at the time, I thought 'sale announced' meant 'sale was on' and only got the regular 12 months without two extra free.
Now that I learned my lesson, I'll definitely take advantage of the extra months offer like I should've done. I also do the yearly pre-pay for general convenience and the discount offered.
If this offer happens more than once a year I'm quite certain I'll end up having more years paid then there will of service at this rate!

ah cool, the 14 month deal, im paid up till 2013, but will probably jump on this, as you said, its basically 10 bucks a month.
Once the offer is live, you cancel your sub, and choose the bonus option you want.
The next time your account renews, it will be with the bonus time offer. So my current sub is out in march - if I sign up for the offer, i'll get hit with the payment in march (exception to using paypal 1-time payment, IIRC).

If the mechanism to give you all your monthly Reward Tokens up front was working, I'd be on this in a heartbeat. I'm still hopeful that'll get fixed soon. Either way, I'll probably be mulling over it for a bit this month. It's kind of a bad time to drop $100+ on myself, after all.

That's harsh, man. You should have put a ticket in, they probably would have given you the extra two months. It's a good point, though. Keep in mind, everyone, that this deal starts the Monday after Black Friday. Hold off a few days before going through with the sign-up!

(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Honestly, if they do it like the past couple of years and hold off on billing you until your existing time runs out, you have nothing to lose by signing up for the deal unless your time runs out next month. If it runs out later, then you can always cancel before then. If you pass up the deal and change your mind later and decide to stay, though, it will be too late and you'll be out two free months you could have had.

I would only take advantage of this if they would get the paragon rewards tokens up front thing "working".
I'd say they could double their sales if the reward token system was WAI.
As it is, my account renews with its usual monthly schedule on December 1st. I'll decide after that whether or not I want to front-load for the next semester/year (or if I can even afford it, heh).

That would be a big incentive for me, otherwise I'm not too confident of buying that much game time for this game considering other things going on right now.

Hey community reps, in your Black Friday sale announcement, you forgot to mention one HUGE incentive that was sent in the announcement e-mails ...

I stopped reading after this....
Can we please for all that is good and holy, please fix the emails that are being sent out? I have never received one of the announcement emails even though I don't have any spam filters set up, it doesn't come in the Spam folder and all the appropriate checkboxes are checked in my ncsoft login page.
Yet my friend used to get them all the time....This has been going on for...4+ years?
Grr...

Might shake whatever is messed up loose.
You do at least get the petition/bug reports when filing one, right?

I think my yearly renewal hits during December. (I'll check when the Accounts page is avialable again.) Is that good enough to get the bonus months, or do I need to explicitly cancel and re-up?

Yeah I get all the petition/bug emails no problem. I even get their survey emails (after a petition/bug has been 'fixed).
I'm sure that I've unchecked and re-checked those checkboxes and still nothing.

Keep in mind that you don't have to pay for the special offer at the time you "buy" it. You only pay for it once your current subscription time has run out. IMO that's awesome and gives you a "grace period" for buyer's remorse.

I get the bug feedback ones. I get the petition ones.
But I, too, never get the announcement emails. And no, my email isn't a gmail/googlemail address either.
Heck, this past closed beta, I didn't get my email invite either. I lucked out in checking the Dev Digest one day and saw I could see their closed beta postings.
Seriously. Fix the emails. Fix the forums.

Hey community reps, in your Black Friday sale announcement, you forgot to mention one HUGE incentive that was sent in the announcement e-mails that will be of intense interest to most VIPs: the Holiday Bonus Game Time sale. Hopefully it will be officially announced here soon.
For you VIPs out there who may not have gotten or digested the e-mail, here's the important part:
- Buy 6 months as a VIP, and get 1 super month free (North America/Europe).
- Buy 12 months as a VIP, and get 2 super months free (North America only).
And don't forget, you can get 500 free Paragon Points™ by referring a friend!Get Bonus Game Time
If your existing time doesn't lapse until, say, next April or whatever, you can still take advantage of the deal. Follow the link and sign up, and it will tack the 7/14 months on whenever your current time expires. You'll also be billed when your current time expires, not when you sign up. If you sign up for it and change your mind before your existing time runs out, you can always opt out between then and when you're billed.
You'll also get whatever bonuses apply to paid subscription time for 7/14 months when you're billed.
Keep in mind that all of those nitty-gritty details are based on the past couple of years. This is how I maintain my subscription, and it really is a bargain. With the discount you get on the yearly subscription fee plus the two months thrown in for free, you can save over $50 per year this way.
Edit: I've removed the link to Get Bonus Time because it looks like it was specific to my copy of the e-mail. No personal data or anything, but it looks like it had some tracking info in it. Besides, the link is dead, it just ends up at a maintenance page anyway.
To the community reps: You might want to check into this dead link, because it looks like it's not really "dead" per se, but that it's trying to load a section of the Black Friday announcement page that doesn't exist. When I did a trace of it, it's trying to load this page with the following GET parameters:
utm_source=newsletter_coh
utm_medium=email
utm_campaign=email_na_20111122
utm_content=bonustime
That particular combination of GET parameters isn't working; it's being redirected to a maintenance page. It looks like someone forgot to add the bonus time section to the news announcement page.
