it's a little silly considering that we all DID pay for these months, after all I'm pretty sure almost NOBODY would have paid 50€ for the game had the 30 days free not been included.

and in my case? well, I bought the CE after already loving this game - and now I feel a little cheated. had I NOT spent 150€ extra I would have had just paid the 13€ for the month and now have 150 coins more.

I mean, I guess 150 coins will be something like 5€ but still
They need to fix the FAQ then.

Notice the part that says "

"Technically" you can do a lot of thing, but that doesn't technically make them right either.

If they are not counting the L50 free time though, then I don't understand that at all, that should count however you look at it, technically or otherwise.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

When you play the game of PvP, you win or you die.

So I was thinking back on why we got the free month back in april. I was thinking we were having issues with late content and bugs not getting fixed. I tried to find the devs comments but all I found was an old email and this is what it said
Quote:
You are one of our most active and valued high level players and we know you have been waiting patiently for Game Update 1.2: Legacy. To show our appreciation, check out all the great new features this update has to offer-on us. We will be adding an additional 30 days of game time to your account at no charge*. The free 30 days will appear on your account by April 24, 11:59PM CDT, April 25, 4:59AM GMT.

As an added bonus, we will be awarding all active subscribers an in-game Legacy reward, the Legacy Tauntaun Ram Pet**, as our way of saying thanks for your support. The Tauntaun Ram Pet will be delivered to you via in-game mail by April 24, 2012, 11:59PM CDT/ April 25, 2012, 4:59AM GMT.
I call BS there is no way you are showing appreciation to us as players by now not awarding us CC for time you gifted us to appease the masses.

either mine our your browser needs a hard refresh, because when I click that link it says

"New players joining us once the Free-to-Play option has launched will also receive Cartel Coins for the 30 Free Days included with their purchase of Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ if they have purchased a box copy or digital download of the game. "

According to my account page, I'm getting 1850 coins. I bought the box the first week of March. My first billing cycle started in April after the "free" 30 days were up. I qualified for the "free" Legacy month due to me hitting 50 on my first toon before the deadline. I added the CE in August when I found it cheap.

So, that's 1000 (CE) + 150(Apr) +150(June) +150(July) + 200(Sept) +200(Oct) = 1850

I got nothing for the 2 months that came with the 2 codes that came in the boxes or for actually playing the game I paid for and maxxing a toon to run ops with my guild. It seems to have cost me 500 coins (Mar, May and Aug). Yay.

Yeah that's the thing a gift that is not free (anymore) doesn't show much appreciation does it, in fact is shows rather the opposite.

Well my don't you contact EA and ask them to take $15 out of your account then they can give you the 150 cartel coins.

It's simple people, you get cartel coins for paying a monthly subscription. I have 1300 for the standard edition which is correct, why because I haven't paid for October yet and got a free month, when I pay my October sub it will go to 1500.

You shouldn't need to.

You should get coins for the "free" month they "gave" you (not the month you now apparently paid for in Cartel Coins).

And again time within boxed codes, again this is time you paid for in the box, it is not "free" time.

Both of these things would be a negligible cost to EA, but would produce a lot of good will.




Where as the way it seems to be work sets up a precedent of Bioware EA gouging already on thier Cashshop model, which does NOT bode well for the furture of the game.
