Upcoming Billing Procedure question

[lololink]

you can't be billed after september 30 , 9 is september .
you will be billed again when ARR came out ( but i think they will do the same thing as they did when the game stoped the F2P phase )

Your monthly fee is for the 30 days following the day you pay. You're paying for what's to come, not what's already happened.

So does that mean I'll still have to pay for October?

GUESS THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR PAYING ON TIME THIS MONTH

[lordbraska2]

so i just looked at my alt account and it says end date of sept 29 so does that mean that account wont get to play for free as its billing day is sept 30?

yes unfortunatly urs will be charged on the 29th lol

[lordbraska2]

anyone? have an idea

[Shougun]

I have the exact same situation as Lordbraska2,

my End date is the 29th, my estimated bill date is the 30th.

To play you have to have an active subscription on the 30th, but the game time ends on the 29th.

So... lol?

[Shougun]

I dont know if i was really tired when I first read the webpage or if it got updated (if it got updated, thank you SE - updated webpages is what we need).

But it says if your end subscription day IS or is before the 29th you need to keep payment up.

I know Lordbraska had similar issue.

So while some people paid for October month, other people will get it for free? this seems kinda unfair to me.

Are we going to get the "spare" days back for 2.0? Like my account will renew on the 27th, so that is 3 days into Oct. Oct goes free, then what happens to all the other days I paid for? I lose them, or get them back?

><

[Alhanelem]

It's not unfair. SE isn't stupid, if you have leftover days when the servers shutdown, you'll most likely get them when the game comes back up after 2.0 testing.

(Some confirmation on this would be nice, but it seems the most logical outcome)
