So people who pay 12 months a year steadily all year get nothing.

Are you trying to force us to take a break for a few months before Fan Fest next year so the sub comes in sync?

Other options include:

  • renewing early (game time is simply added on to your account, after all)
  • paying the intervening time as a shorter subscription
  • paying the intervening time with PLEX
  • going back to WoW ;)

    • This would only be an option if we knew IN ADVANCE what was planned.

    Which, in case you hadn't noticed, is all that most of us are asking for.

    Subbed last night. Website timed out 4 times, informing me each time that card declined. Only I find actually that out of those 4 failures, it took my money 3 times. Even then it only added my subscription 2 times.

    So, right now, I am waiting for £180 back.

    Support ticket raised immediately but...... fanfest. So.... hope my bank can wait.... Ugh


    3 days and no one even looked at my urgent Payment Issue ticket. This is not the level of support I am used to CCP. Cry

    What happened to the quafe Tshirts we normally got with the HD stream



    Good question.


    The T-Shirts are exclusive for Fanfest attendees this year and not included in the subscription offer which instead has three ship skins instead of the one ship we've usually had in the past. Keeping the T-shirt exclusive is the same thing we did for EVE Vegas last year where we sold the Quafe Megathron with stream purchases.



    I like the idea of keeping something exclusive to the events . Not that I have gone to Fanfest this year.

    How will they be converted with the new SKINs system? Assuming that is still upcoming


    CCP Seagull spoke about this yesterday at Fanfest. When the new SKIN system is implemented any 'old' skin BPCs you have such as ones bought from the NES store or 'freebies' such as the Quafe ones from the current game time offer will be converted to the new 'injectable' versions in the new SKIN system.

    It would be nice if those of us who purchased a YEAR on multiple accounts within a month (or less) of this promotion going live, could be grandfathered in.

    If you are going to pay anyway, and pay by the year, getting these skins is great. Re-upping for a year when you don't need to, just for some cosmetic items... is pointless.

    I put in a ticket and was told "too bad, so sad, buy them on the market." Thanks CCP. It is good to know that I spent $500+ (not counting PLEX for DCT) this year already, and you won't give me something that cost you a mouse-click.

    It isn't like I'm asking for them for free and didn't pay $500+ to get them. I already paid, and less than a month before you started giving these things out. Was I supposed to not re-up for a year per account and just let them lapse until something good came along?

    >_< Very frustrated by this.

    I never purchase ship skins. I was looking forward to the Stream and purchasing it for them, then it was announced that would be free. So, no tie-in. I only wanted these because I really love the color blue.
    I can afford to purchase them in-game, but this is about principle.
