Regarding the legacy campaign announcement- New deadline?

[Sephrick]

"As of" in this case, is incorrect. If Square had a competent technical writer, it would read

"As of May" means that they began service up to or during the month of May. Which is fine. Your way of saying isn't wrong either, but saying it your way would lead to forum posts saying "WTF SE I thought you said May 30?!?!"

Saying "as of May" calls back to the last Legacy posting, because after that the free trial runs over the June 30 deadline.

"As of" is conditional to context. In the context in which they used it, it means the same as "up to and including."

I just updated my billing preferences to a 90 day model. It says the next billing will go around july 8th. Am I cool for the legacy campaign or am I screwed?

Then change it to

"Players who began playing on or before May 31, 2012 and have registered for a 90-day period before June 30, 2012 will be able to fulfill the requirements needed to qualify for the Legacy Campaign."

When dealing with deadlines and payment schedules, it is imperative to be as precise as possible. There is no such thing as being TOO specific. Saying 'As of May 2012' uses both an ambiguous phrase and lacks a specific date and/or time. It's not efficient, and it shows.

I'd really like some clarification on this whole having to buy a 90 day subscription before the end of this month myself, does this really include people that will have already paid for 2 months at the end of this one because if so that needs to be clearer in the announcement, basically a big bold statement that says "If you haven't paid for a cumulative 90 days by the date June 30, 2012; you will not be elligible for Legacy Campaign." Right now it's not really clear what this means for people that are literally only 1 month from Legacy status. And if it is the case they really should offer a temporary 2 months subscription that people that are already 1 month in can just pay for the rest of the two months before the end of June.

Anyone? =/

[TheVedis]

I strongly suggest anyone who is ocncerned about their specific issue to CONTACT SE DIRECTLY

we are players, we are not customer support, we do not have the answers to your questions

[Kalehon]

You are right. Gonna send SE some questions now. If I don't get Legacy, I won't play this anymore. $15 is not worth it...

Preposition
as of
(idiomatic) from, on or at a specified time
All leave is cancelled as of now.

Seems specific enough to me.

My problem is, I was signed up for the 30 day cycle and was just billed for the first month yesterday. And the clarification about needing to select the 90 day cycle just came out TODAY! I changed it immediately, but now I'm not sure if I WILL be billed for 90 days next month since they are getting rid of the 90 cycle after the 30th. If it had been clear up front that it HAD to be the 90 day cycle, I would have done it right away that way.
