How do we subscribe?

[Oakley]

Greetings all! I consistently searched the beta forums back when they were live and have scoured SE's websites about any information pertaining to how we actually go about subscribing, but I haven't found anything besides plenty of info about the veteran rewards. Does anyone know exactly HOW and WHEN we subscribe to this game? As in, how and when do we input our credit card info and pick our recurring fee time? When is the earliest possible date we can get our subscription veteran rewards? A source would also be nice.

Also does the game come with 30 days free? I don't particularly remember if it does, but others have made it seem that this is the case.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to playing with everyone!

I thought we already subbed since we're here? Not sure though...
Also, If you're brand new to the game, you get a free 30 days.
I think 1.0 or Legacies get 2 weeks.

On the 27th they are release a new site that you can use to subscribe. So it will be after that point I imagine.

On launch day (Aug 27) they will launch Mog Station to handle all things related to that. For the longest time they have had the account center for 1.0 that they also brought XI into, but now they're putting something out that's a bit more appealing and branded. Can't say it's a bad idea, who doesn't want cute moogles yanking money from their wallets?

People who own 1.0 get 14 days free (September 9th). People who buy 2.0 get 30 days free (September 26th). People who own 1.0 and buy 2.0 get a total of 44 days free (October 9th). At that point you should be charged.

As far as I know payment starts September 10th for everyone. The Mogstation will be released by then and we can use it to keep track of subscriptions, in game items, and the like.

As in, how and when do we input our credit card info and pick our recurring fee time? When is the earliest possible date we can get our subscription veteran rewards? A source would also be nice.

I'm not exactly sure but you can pay up to 90 days in advance and you get your subscription veteran rewards as soon as you pay.

Logic dictates the soonest this can happen for anyone is September 10th as that is when billing commences. Source

Also does the game come with 30 days free?

Not quite 30 as billing begins September 10th, 2013.

I may be wrong about new players though.

Oh okay, so on the 27th we can officially subscribe and (potentially) receive veteran rewards. I assume there will be an announcement for Mog Station on the official site or launcher then.

EDIT: scratch that then I guess we'll wait and see hah ^_^
Looking at the site though it seems to imply that Sept. 10 is the first day in which you MUST pay to continue playing, not necessarily the first day which you are ALLOWED to pay.

That is true. How many licks does it take to get to the center of Square Enix's account management systems?

Unlike Tootsie Pops, the world may truly never know.

Ew, I can't imagine how good that would taste. Could you imagine licking their server racks?! Ewwwwwww!
Like dust and steel and mass-produced plastic. And maybe a shock or two? Ever licked a battery?

Thanks. I was wondering if they would stack.
