Nothing new on the dates we alrready knew about. Mostly provides detailed information concerning billing for the duration of Ver 1.0. If I read it right I have paid my last subscription fee for Ver 1.0 <end date = 1Oct>. Very usefull information.

Yea same, mine at October 2nd
Yay for free month

I'm a bit confused. My end date was on right on September 29th. That page says any end dates before the 29th get billed again, but any end dates after the 30th won't be billed...

So what happens to the people whose end dates fall on the 29th or 30th? o_o

Ya, I am safe with a Oct 1 date, but before I check my date I was reading that and got very confused because some of the wording is pretty confusing. Like for your example, does that mean you don't get a free month and have to pay for a whole month because your renew date is on the cutoff day. What about those that have their renewal on the 28th? I know it mentioned something about if your characters are on Continuous status you are okay, but that still raises concerns of will those unlucky few that have a renewal date 27-29 not get the free month?

Which I think it's a little unfair. Why should people who has their auto billing not begin at the beginning of the month and have it at a random date be penalized?

Most players who payed without a rest should have it at the beginning of october.

And it fit the dates for the legacy campaign:
until 5/31 for new players with free month = end of may + 4 month = end of september
until 6/30 for players who start to pay for the first time = end of juni + 3 month = end of september

Agreed Luckily my Bill Date is on the 4th or 5th or something, but it would be really nice if Square could find a way to prorate billing somehow. Even if they could just prorate your first month so that if you join on say the 15th it bills for 15 days then after that you billing happens on the 1st of the month to sync everyone up.

That's not my case. I have paid without interruption, so to speak, since billing started in January but I didn't start till Jan 26 due to some issues.

That seems like a reasonable thing to do but I doubt that will happen.

I think that's the reason they are doing this, makes it easier by giving people free time rather than prorating for 2.0. Some people just get more free days than others but everyone is getting free time.
