Where's My Falcon?

[LunaChild]

It's very clear.
Campaign period
From Saturday, July 1, 2017 through Saturday, September 30, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. (PDT)
* If you meet the requirements by the end of August, the mount will be sent to you on or after Tuesday, September 5 via the moogle delivery service.
* If you meet the requirements by the end of September, the mount will be sent to you on or after Thursday, October 5 via the moogle delivery service.

It will check at the end of month if you had subscribed for 90 days since starting of campaign (1st July), so if you sub monthly, the end of August check will count you still sub only for 60 day, you will need to wait for end of this month. I still have to wait for mine too.

For ppl who already got it, they already have more than 90 day subbed in advanced either by game time card or 3/6 month sub cycle.

I get why they did it this way, but honestly, this wasn't a shining moment for them in terms of a subscription reward.

Let's plaster the campaign all over the place, oh and by the way, some of you who have been loyal subscribers from the start and have a recurring payment set up can do *nothing* to get it in September.

Yes you can... change your recurring payment so it's not monthly and for one time only purchase 90 days or 180 days then change it back after the payment has gone through. You can't have it on the earlier date if you haven't actually subscribed for the 90 days by that point. But if you wanted it earlier, you had the means to make that happen.

TBH I don't even want to touch my sub considering how easy it is to get banned because of their payment vendors. It is weird they setup two separate times they are releasing the items. I've been subscribed since 2013 when afaik month to month was the only payment option. On those 1400 days subscribed...you get it after new players lol. Seems kind of weird, idk what they were thinking.

you get it after new players

How? I was at 1380 days and I got it in the first wave. If new players are subbing month-to-month, they would also get it in October. The only way they'd get it before you is if they paid 180 days at a time, or applied a gametime card after their first monthly payment in July, towards the Falcon.

You could even get it on the 30th of September with 30 days free sub on a new account by applying two gametime cards for a total of 120 days of sub time. You're going to get the Falcon in the second wave because your third payment will always happen in September, which means the first wave has already gone out, as you're paying for 30 days at a time and unfortunately not 60 days at a time.

Sorry, but I don't think that's quite true. Yes I've seen posts by a few people on here and reddit who have had payment issues and locked themselves out, but a handful of people vs the hundreds of thousands that play every month?

I've been subscribed since 2013 when afaik month to month was the only payment option.

The 30/90/180 day subscriptions have been there since 2.0 launch. Possibly they were there in 1.0, but I can't remember that far back I know I've been on 180 day since the start though and although my second account was initially 30 days at a time, that's now on 180 days as well and both of them got the mounts in the first wave.

On those 1400 days subscribed...you get it after new players lol.

Just depends when your subscription dates are, but if you're only paying month-to-month, it's impossible to get it in the first wave.

If you are paying constantly there is no reason why you would do month by month, in the long run it is more expensive. Personally i think the way they did it is perfectly fine. the only problem is the players who cannot read the T&C's saying when things get shipped

Except I have a 180 day subscription, and I didn't get the item because of the timing for when it renewed. So yeah, despite having a subscription set to reset every 180 days, I should be hosed because the timing didn't happen to work out for the dates they chose? Sorry, I still think it's a little unfair.

They're not denying you the item, you'll still get it. If you're that impatient for it, you could have have added a time card.

[ElHeggunte]

I paid my September bill a few days ago. I thought I would have got it when that went through, but nope.

This is where I thought you were confused. The mounts are sent out in (two) waves, not as you meet the requirements. The people who have it now met the requirements before September's wave. Since you reached the 90 threshold after the first wave you'll get it at the beginning of October.

SE linked you the page because this is exactly what it says.
