Can´t get the Rank 5 Subscription reward at the 2.1 release?

[Joon143]

Dunno if it was just me who assumed you could get all the new Sub Rewards(Behemoth Mount, GC Leader minions etc) at the release of 2.1. If it isn´t the case then this thread doesnt matter. Otherwise please read on.

I went into the Mog Station and read this

"The subscription period can be extended to a maximum of 180 days per transaction.
Your 60-Day Game Time Card cannot be redeemed if your subscription has 120 days or more of remaining game time."

I got 33 days left now so I´m wondering if I now wouldn´t be able to get the Sub Rewards at the release of 2.1(should those rewards be released at that time)?

Can someone make this clear for me^^;

EDIT: Ok I can now clarify that this is as we all feared. I bought 3x 60-days Time Card and could only use two because after using two it said I had 149 days left which exceeds the 120 limit. I now have to wait 29 days to be able to use my 3rd card to reach the Rank 5 Reward.

If you pay with a time card to extend your sub to the relevant limit AND the new vet rewards are released then you should be able to get them.

If you pay by debit/credit card though then you'll have to wait until your current subscription period expires as the rewards are only credited to your account when you are charged.

Edit: Yeah actually even a time card is still limited to the 180 cap. Will have to wait until we're three months in before we can extend it enough to get the 6 month rewards.

FYI these are veteran rewards and I never liked how they were credited ahead of time anyway. It's nice to have them actually be... ya know, for veterans, rather than just players who spend money upfront.

Yep, same for me. SE managed to even screw up on something that trivial. Look forward to it (as many people realize that this corrat on the stick is a lie).

I wouldn't call it a "screw up"..more like getting more money out of you in the long run (they are a business afterall.)

Damn it! Would be happy if someone could tell me this isn´t true and that that information is wrong!(which it prolly isn´t)=(

I signed up for 180 days up front...it's going to be a while before I get to re-up my sub I think.

They don't get any more or less money out of someone who pays for, say, two 6 month sub periods in a row versus someone who paid one 6 month period and then, 6 months later, paid another. They'd actually benefit more from the former because they get their money right away. xD

To a max of 180.. Hm.. i had 90 Days Sub, have 3 days left. So if i renew my Sub for another 180 Days, that is a total of 270 Days and i will have them right at Patch-Day. Goes for several people in my FC.

So i guess the extended Free-Trial screwed up a certain amount of people. But still.. how have you 53 days left? If you did not join the Game at day 1 of its sub, then you will not get it at the same time as those who did. It is a "Veteran Reward", not a "who does pay the most days right away Reward". I do not mean that offensive, it is just that simple.. the Rewards started counting on day 1, so those who did start the sub at day 1 will get it. Those who started later, will get it later.

SE mentioned they are looking into longer Subs than 180 days, so that would solve the "Problem", if it would come with 2.1. After all it is not that big of a deal, after 270 days of sub you will get it.

Is there any official word on this that I missed and someone can direct to it?

and if not, can we get official word if those who prepaid for the 6 months ahead of time will still get the items as released or do we get penalized and have to wait until afterwards and a new charge is on the card? Seems odd that their system wouldn't know if someone has pre-paid 6 months.. 1,2,3,4,5,6.... and release the rewards according to the months pre-paid, since after all, they got the money anyways.

and yes, I am a veteran, been playing this since beta of 1.0, never missed a month in payment to them.
