Really? No VIP treatment for everyone? Why?

Thanks Bill. And yeah, The Alpha's aren't VIP. We bought a box, and got "code has expired" So *sigh* (stares at greyed out incarnate stuff) sadface..
Even on Test where my Elec/Kin Corr is all IO'd out and all those IO's were boosted up to +3 where possible and tweeked to the gills...she can't reach her full potential due to not being VIP and not able to use her incarnate stuff.
*cries on shoulder* Only you can realize the true beauty of taking down +4 mobs as a squishy...and I miss that.

You know, I'm not VIP and I don't really mind them not just handing it out. Just because I play and love the game, show up for as many in-game rally's I can and support the game whole-heartedly outside of the game with the plethora of petitions, emails, letters, etc., doesn't mean I deserve the VIP status. Let the real VIP's have their last go without a bunch of 'VIP noobs' stomping around. There is much more to the game than I can do in the allotted time left already. I am content with that.

WE stopped paying because 1: He was going on a foreign exercise with the military for a month or so...with no access to the internet.
*I* stopped mine because finances were getting tight, and if it were up to me, and if we DID NOT have kids, we would have scaled back to ramen and KD every night. But no, two growing kids cannot really deal with that kind of diet and thrive. Oh yeah and school supplies, and school clothes, you get the idea. BOTH of us were gonna reup on Sept 1st after we were able to see where I was at with my pay.. But guess what, NCSoft decided to pull the plug.
So yeah we aren't NOOBS ******** and moaning for a free handout. We are veteran players, that had to cancel our VIP for a bit due to life. LIFE HAPPENS.
Enjoy your cookie, troll...that's about as much as I'm feeding you today.

Whoa, guys. I'm definitely not trollin' here. I was just commenting on the OP's post, not yours, MsAlphaOne. I've just seen a lot of people griping about not getting VIP and assumed they were freebs. I wish everyone could have it all, but I know that only the VIP's (and, sure, former VIP's) really deserve these things. They have (and did) pay for it after all. When I said VIP noobs I meant people not accustomed to VIP running the content. Trust me, I wouldn't turn it down for sure. No pedestal here, Xzero.

You could move character to test and get screen shot that way. Tedious I know but an option.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Can anyone tell me if box codes are still working? I know game time cards and trials don't but if box codes do I can still grab one I have only used coh retail, cov collectors, GR Collectors, AE Edition and whichever one lets you choose between Magic and Tech Boosters for free

There's been several reports of people trying since the 19th and getting an error stating that the code has expired. If you have one laying around, great, try it, nothing to lose... but I wouldn't spend a penny on buying one.

Be well, people of CoH.

Considering that the "OP" was subscribed for all but 6 months of this game's existence since May 2004, I'm calling you out as a troll. |

You "assumed" I was a whining freeb. You shouldn't have.
Troll.....

I tried it today, no dice. It looks like all of the outstanding Game Codes were invalidated. I got a message stating, "This Serial Code has expired" when I tried to apply a brand new Architect Edition code to my account.

Gah. Somehow, I missed the "as of September 1st, 2012" part, and took it to mean that anyone that had "previously subscribed as VIP" would be made VIP. Sorry.

It's only Free players (i.e., players who have never bought anything with real money) who won't be upgraded.

Sep 19 has come and gone and there's a whole lot of premium players posting that they didn't get bounced to VIP. I'm VIP only, apparently, because I was lucky enough to use a retail code I hadn't previously used after the market closure but before the 19th.
Be well, people of CoH.
