Falcon day today....

[KageTokage]

I never did a three-month subscription and have just had it on recurring one-month payments, so I was a little surprised to have gotten the mount.

I'm super confused about this whole process.

I came back in anticipation of Stormblood and resubbed for 90 days on June 10th (the campaign was announced a week or so later if I recall).

My sub just renewed today (for another 90 days), and I got my veteran rewards in the mail, but no sign of the mount yet.

What gives?

It's not a veteran reward. If you resubbed today, that means you get the mount on October 5. The cutoff for the September falcon mounts was having 90 days paid for during July 1 - July 31. If you subbed 90 days on June 10, that means you only had 70 days count to it and have to wait.

I have mine set up to charge my CC every 3 months and so far no mount yet (my sub was set up like this the day I joined a couple years ago)

Does the mount do anything special? :P

Nope. This mount is nothing to get excited about. Aside from ensuring that you get what is supposed to be coming to you via the subscription, the mount itself is only a novelty because of the nostalgia factor. You'll probably say "oh neat" for about ten seconds and then bury it in your mount collection with the others.

Haven't seen anything in the mail. I have a 6 month recurring charge and haven't missed a payment since back to 1.0 ... I just updated my cc expiration date, etc., during all these years of being a loyal customer. Last time they charged me was for 6 months back on Mar 30, 2017. This means the next renewal date is September 30, 2017. Does this mean I'm screwed out of this? I really don't understand the eligibility requirements, because it looks like it was written by a team of lawyers (anyway you slice it, SE can be off the hook on any number of technicality) Stormblood was pre-ordered and registered long before (like back in February) so that's not an issue, either.

Silly as it is, the eligibility only counts from July 1st onward. So despite having a six month sub, it's only calculating two for the event itself. When your sub renews on September 30th, that'll make you eligible when they give out the second batch. Just make sure your sub is renewed on the 30th before 11:59 PDT and you'll be fine. If it won't for whatever reason, buy a time card and apply it. Since you already have two months going (July through to current), that should be enough.

Veteran rewards ended after the Leon outfit due to how long the time requirements were. They've since shifted to concurrent log-in events. In order to be eligible for the Falcon mount, you need to have 90 days paid sub applied to your account between July 1st and September 30th. Say, for example, you paid for a six month sub in May. That means even July rolls around, you'll still have four months remaining on that sub, thus you're immediately eligible. If, like in Discordia's case above, your current sub doesn't have enough time left before renewal. You will need to wait for said renewal or apply a time card to make up the difference. In your case, you'll also need to renew your sub before September 30th. It should be up tomorrow, yes? So just keep what you have and you'll get the Falcon next month.

Still a little confused about this. I did my normal automatic 6 mo renewal on 12 Apr 2017 which takes me to 11 Oct 2017. Bought and registered the Stormblood Collectors edition. Should I have received this mount?

You'll receive it next month. Your current sub would apply two months towards the event (July and August) since it only counts from July 1st onward regardless of prior sub time and the first cut off point was August 31st. The second cut off point is September 30th, thus you'll be eligible.

Hope that helps.

Oh good, I might not get it at all then. I've never unsubbed my 90 day renewal, and my subscription was meant to renew mid-September. But it looks like they handed out the free 15 days of sub time for leveling an alt to 30+ on a Road to 60 server. Now my sub renews on October 1st.

lol? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
