Does anyone know if ,during the current promotion for the collector's edition, the 90 days of additional game time is supposed to be added to your account automatically, or if it is coming as an additional code in your collector's edition package?

In the description it says, "New account Key with 60 days of game time", so I'm going to guess that the 90 days is added to that and not usable for other accts.

But it is kind of ambiguous, so maybe a note to the marketing department might be in order before you purchase one.

If you click on the "Terms and Conditions" link on the page where you purchase the Collector's Edition, it says this:

Quote:
If you have an active, paying EVE Online account, you can purchase the EVE: The Second Decade Collector’s Edition via CCP’s Account Management website and get 3 free months of EVE Online added to the end of your current subscription.


With that said, I purchased it yesterday and beside a confirmation email, I am yet to receive any game time or the other digital items to my account.

I'd be interested in this information as well. I bought mine from Amazon and figured I'd just start a new account and then transfer the toon, but it would be extra awesome if CCP allows us to apply the game time to existing accounts.

I'd like to get more info on this as well, mainly for the question above, plus:

- Will it work for unopened boxes bought before the sates specified?
- Can it be bought for non-EVE store sources, such as Amazon, and still give this bonus?

The 90 days gets auto added to the eve account you used to perchance it.
I know this because i got it last night and it changed my account payment type to "free time" almost right away.

The codes are for the rest of the stuff which will come in the post with the book and stuff.

I am quite shore you have to buy it direct from CCP with a logged in eve account to get the free things.

I'll be returning the one I got from amazon if we need to buy it from CCP to get the 90 bonus. Has anyone gotten it to work?

I would think from the above that you need to get it while logged into your EVE account.

I bought this yesterday from the eve store and I have not revived 90 days game time. I assumed I would have to redeem a code I'd receive with the product???

Did you buy it from account page or store? I think that is the difference...

The game time comes in a code in the box if I remember correctly.

I believe it is auto-added when bought through the account management page. No code.



WIll let you know later if I take the plunge.

I may have bought the collector's edition through the store as well, not sure. I went through the account page at first but I may have ended up in the store somehow. It did ask me to login with my account at some point and I did. But so far I have not received any game time added to my account.

CCP must address this issue. It is unacceptable that whether you receive the 90 days game time or not depends on a particular link you click. Both options sell you the same product from the same company during the same promotion. It doesn't say anywhere in the promotion "DON'T buy it through our store or you won't receive the additional game time". I wouldn't buy the collector's edition otherwise (with the shipping costs it makes it totally not worth it without the game time).

I opened a support ticket regarding this issue. So far I haven't heard anything back.

Will post if there are any updates.

It gets added at the end. I am so mad though. I have bought 4 of these and I lost all that potential game time because they decided to help the last min shoppers :(

I can confirm that buying from the account page (versus Store) instantly adds 90 days.

This kind of sucks, as buying directly from CCP means that very high shipping costs negate this additional incentive. I really want CCP to chime in on this, and maybe offer to extend this bonus to purchases from any location.
