Falcon day today....

I honestly feel the whole campaign is badly handled and not thought out in anyway. You have players who have kept their subs active yet becuase of when their sub renews they wont get the mount. SE is going to make it obtainable later most likely through the mog station for $20-$25 which is nothing but a middle finger too people who were subbed during the campaign but missed it cause of their renewal time. Should have been setup so that as long as your account was active during the event time you would get the mount not the way its set up now. My renew dates are july 14th aug 14 sept 14 I wont get the mount and I am not shoveling extra money at SE for it.

I really hope they change how this works or scrap it entirely.

The only way I can see someone who keeps a recurring sub not getting the mount is if they got added free time such as Valcarde's case. The added free time is a pretty bad slip for SE to not notice when they made that part of the incentives for transferring / making new characters on the affected worlds. Everyone else just gets the mount on October 5th. The campaign has been up this entire time. If for some reason someone was affected (30-day sub and got 30 days for free for buying it), they would have seen the in-game notice. They had that opportunity.

Edit: You get the mount. On october 5. You're not going to miss getting the mount. You get it on October 5. Unless you got added free time like Valcarde.

Well now I am concerned again.
I last paid for my sub on the 8th June for 3 months, and I have the free playtime as I made and levelled characters on the new Omega server.
I will next be billed toward the end of september.
Am I going to need to go and buy a bunch of game time cards or will I be just scraping through by the skin of my teeth? The cut off is the end of september, so surely I will make it...?

As long as you've renewed your subscription by the end of the september you should be good. You just need 90 days of paid (not used) subscription time on your account between july 1 & the end of september.

So long as you're making that payment for the sub in September you will be good. The only issue is if, from my understanding of Valcarde's case, your payment is outside of September.

Edit: The bonus is for 15 days? Your starting date is June 8, 2017 so that means that 90 days later would be September 6, 2017. 15 days after that is September 21. Thus your payment is in end of September and you get the mount.

Nice to know but their rules are convoluted and confusing. I read the rules again and some of the posts here I now understand the rules better but there is still going to be a lot of confused players cause of SE sloppy explanation.

How is it confusing or convoluted? If this is an English native speaker issue, please let me know because I don't know those difficulties. The only thing I thought confusing or convoluted was checking eligibility. That only ever showed on September 5 when I was eligible as soon as July 1.

The eligiblity part is what I was talking about. Even I can explain it better then SE did so people arent so confused.

-If you purchased a 90+ day sub before July 1st and have 90 days to left as of july 1st you will recieve the Falcon mount on or after Sept 5th
-If you purchased a 90+ day sub after july 1st and prior to Aug 31st you will recive the Falcon mount on or after Sept 5th.
-If you have a 30 day re-occuring sub and subbed the entire event you will recieve the mount on oct 5th.
-If you purchase a 90 day sub between Sept 1st and Sept 30th you will recieve the Falcon mount on or after Oct 5th

The free time part was explained well enough no need to re-explain that.
Note: Made some corrections to be more clear.

and a lot of ticked off players who thought they qualified with their recurring sub.

hah, thank you. I feel a bit of a dunce for not just doing the maths instead of panicking. I guess I just saw stuff about being released in tiers and cut off dates and recurring subs missing out and just assumed the worst for having not paid much attention to it all until now.
