Can someone PLEASE clarify for me (30 days free?)

I am being told by some people that with the purchase of the game, we get 30 days free to play before we have to buy a subscription.

Is this only for legacy players? Or new players too? I am the latter.

The reason I'm asking is because when I log into my mog station, it's showing my service (which is registered under the same account I used beta on, by the way) and I'm seeing this:

Does this mean I literally only have 3 days left to play? It says nothing about a free month there.

I refuse to believe no one here has an answer for me just because this isn't a thread about "wah i cant play" or "white knights".

If it shows 3 days it means you didn't register your game activation code (not talking about the pre-order one).

I dont think I've recieved a game activation code yet. I got my EARLY ACCESS CODE, which I already registered, but I haven't gotten any codes other than that. Is the game activation code supposed to come in an email too? Because I havent recieved it yet and I've been recieving all my SE emails in my main inbox.

That's the early access trial period, your normal subscription will automatically be changed. Note the Pre-Order Windows code on the top.

Check your spam, and if not, I wouldn't panic until your EA time starts to run out. They might be staggering the sending out of the codes knowing people still have EA time.

You register your pre-order code on the site, then it changes it to a retail code automatically, then you play.

I put in my Standard Edition code this morning and now mine shows 33days remaining, so yes you get 30 days free. No, I am not legacy.

I had to go to the FindMyOrder site to get the code. I never got an email with the code.

You need to register again on that site (mogstation). You should see a "meteor" with a plus sign on it. Click on that button. It should take you to a page that has a familiar form. Whatever you do, don't add the activation code that you received from the pre-order site. You enter a different activation code that you receive from your digital disturber (Amazon, Green Man Gaming, ETC.,). If you have a real physical copy, then you would just enter the activation code that's been given to you. Click submit. Enter how you're going to subscribe and for how long. Submit that important private piece of information, and you should see a summary of what's been given on a new page. You should see you first 30-day subscription and its cost, which should be a flat $0.00. There's your thirty-day trail.

Edit: One last tidbit. Make sure you use the right key for the right platform. If you have a PS3 key, don't try to subscribe to the Windows platform.

Did you get your standard edition code in your email?

No, I still haven't received an email. I went back to the digital river FindMyOrder site to get the number.

I'm also getting the same issue. I registered the code I got with the game on the website for EA as well as registered the second activation code when it gave it to me for registering the first one. I registered it to the right account and everything so I'm just as confused as well. I'm a new player, not a 1.0 player but still no 30 days free. :/

Lol, apparently the page to enter the activation code is "down for maintenance" so that kinda leaves me in the dark for now. Thanks though. I just have to wait to see if I even receive my code.

Oh. How odd. I mean, I pre-ordered from gamestop and they gave me the pre-order code and that's it, when I phoned them again they said they didnt have any other numbers for me. I'm starting to wonder if the people who work at gamestop just really don't have any idea wtf they are doing..

The 18 digit preorder code and the 20 digit code you get when you use the preorder code are not "full subscription" codes. There is another 20 digit number you need to enter to register for full subscription status.

IT changes automatically? Really? How do you know that?

They extended the EA to the 29th so why it said 3 days more than likely (EA used to be until 27th)

Yeah, I realize, but as of now it looks like I have no way of getting that last 20 digit code without getting an email from SE that contains it, because gamestop either lost the instructions to selling this game to people or they really weren't provided any new numbers to give their customers. I'm a little confused as to why people are able to get the code from places like digital river and yet when I preorder my game in person there's no way for me to obtain the code because they "don't have it"

I ordered my game directly from the SE store and I'm in the same boat sadly, while I have received the first 2 codes via email, I have yet to receive the 3rd. I think a lot of this goes back to SE for having this terrible system for registering this game. Literally 3 registration codes? Who in the DEV team thought this was a brilliant idea?

I pre-ordered from GMG (they had a 25% discount). They emailed me the full game code yesterday. Not sure why SE is taking so long.

I don'te ven know where to put it, SE stated in that e-mail that once i logg in i can fill in the code but that never happened... and if I go on that mogrystation or whatever, no fill in forms seem to accept my code.

This whole system seems fucked up a little, nowhere to put the code into. And it says that i have 14 days left for some odd reason...

There's a button called Add Platform, looks like a comet.

BTW, why are my deleted characters showing up in mogstation? I deleted them two days ago.
