Legacy Eligibility

Actually, rather than bill you for the time you have already played, they bill you for the time you will play. So that is why you must have it paid before the end of september, because at that point you'll be paying for october playtime which is, theoretically, the last playable month before version shift/beta test/temporary break in P2P.

Close, though here's where it gets fuzzy. I'm pretty sure Beta starts on October 1st, though your reasoning for why people have to start payment when they do is valid.

Pay on June 30th for all of July : 30 days
Pay on July 30th for all of August : 30 days
Pay on August 30th for all of September : 30 days
(If you want to get technical, these dates aren't precise because some months have 31 days)

If you started on July 7th, it would look something like this
Pay on July 7th : 30 days
Pay on August 7th : 30 days
Pay on September 7th (uh oh, cutoff!) : 23 days worth of payment

You might be correct; I'm not 100% sure of things. Regardless of how it actually works out in the end, SE gave a solid date of June 30th for when people must begin billing.
