Question about cancelling sub.

[faris]

If this game works like any other subscription MMO when you pay for gametime you're not allowed to turn it off and on as you please (You can probably imagine this being pretty easy to exploit). In other words, if you cancel your sub, your 3-month gametime would still run until you were finished with that three months, at which point your account goes inactive until you decide to re-sub again.

Thanks! I'm perhaps being a little too cautious with this. I mean, logic would say that indeed it's the case with this as it is with all other MMOs, but I don't really want to take the risk without being informed.

...So basically you're stuck with that block of cement on your head for at least whatever amount of time your sub has left. I'm not entirely sure how the Fantasia handouts work- I was under the impression it was a one-time thing for subscribing, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Weh. I really, really hope it isn't a one-time thing. This hairdo's kind of unbearable.

Now all of that aside, I think you may not be understanding how and where Fantasia is coming from. So far as I know, these are a reward for loyalty/veteran status on the account. As I understand it, once the account qualifies for the milestone, it's qualified. There is no way to go back and hit 30 days a second time. Those milestones are for the lifetime of the account.

Wait, wha? Not to undermine what you're saying or anything at all like that, but I figured it was the opposite. I believe you get rewards based on the amount of time you pay for.

For example, Fantasia for 30 days, Cascadier vouchers etc for 60, and Ahriman stuff for 90. (Not sure if it's exactly that, but.) Say you sub for 90, you get all 3 tiers of goodies. (My character did.)

A friend of mine, which has been playing for the exact amount of time I have (We bought our copies in 2010 together and played all the way through) subbed for 30 days and only received the 30 day reward.
