Free Gameplay for Inactive Accounts?

Miroh · 06-03-2008, 03:53 PM

I posted this on the Official Forums, but I figured it won't go very far. I'm just wanting to know if I am reading this shit correctly. If I am, then I feel like I got shit on personally. What are your thoughts, flame on.....agree...or be neutral. Shrug.

Free Gameplay for Inactive Accounts?

In case they do delete it because I wouldn't put it past them here's the thread I made....

Move this to where ever it best fits, but General Gameplay seemed fitting.

Am I reading this correctly or am I missing something?? What I see for myself, with an active subscription is this...

Next Payment: $14.99 plus applicable taxes ( Scheduled For 6/16/08 )

This just doesn't seem right in my opinion. Now if I have the wrong assumption or am misinformed then I retract my statement. If not, I will reply with something a bit more suitable for the events at hand.

Yeah, how dare they try to boost subscriptions by giving people some free time to try and lure them back!! I mean, free samples is a ridiculous concept!!

What they should clearly be doing is setting their profit and earnings bar to zero, and give everyone a free two months!!

Now, that last statement sounds strange, but, that IS what you are suggesting what would be fair, correct?

I would like free gameplay...possibly get my money back for buying RoK (That is if I am understanding it correctly). Might not even log into Age of Conan for awhile....

Lamil · 06-03-2008, 04:06 PM

why not ask for your money back from everything? considering thats what theyre giving away.

Niber · 06-03-2008, 04:07 PM

You're an idiot for not canceling 2+ months ago is the moral of the story.

Miroh · 06-03-2008, 04:09 PM

Ignorant would be the proper term.

I saw this post on another thread dealing with the Living Legacy. eq/eq2 website www.eqlivinglegacy.com, what is it? Someone had brought it up previously but figured I would just quote this one.

You know what, someone brought up a VERY VALID POINT. If your a PAYING customer and you have not purchased RoK your out of luck, are you not? So, before we start the whole good of the game and charity speech, how about we just throw that in as part of the package for ALL users? heck, I just laid out $40 last month for our son's account since he decided to return to the game. I thought it was bad enough that they lowered it by $10 a week later, if we waited, we would have had that and so much more for FREE!

So please, all the fan people out there, do explain why any current user without RoK still has to buy it when it's being given away as a promo with 2 months for free and more?

The two months per se isn't the issue. It's the fact people will be getting expansions for free while retarded regular customers, yours truly included, paid 40-50 bucks for them. It's crapping on your regular customer base no matter how you look at it.

Thread on the official forums is gone btw. =/

If you are unhappy, just cancel.

Don't go crying over not getting free shit. Sound like a little fucking whinning kid.
