    I purchased the '12 months + bonus' yesterday on my first account without issue, attempted to purchase for my second today (pay day!) and am met with the error: "Sorry, we were unable to process your payment"

    Is the bag claimable on progression servers?
    and is it heirloom so tradeable to other chars on account on a server?
    also can it be claimed on any server once?

    I did it on my main, but am pretty embittered the bonus items weren't included.That and all the negative press kept me from doing it on my other accounts, though I did think about it. Pay more and get less of this but more of that is unpalatable. If the goal is solely monetary, it would appear a success. If goodwill was part of the equation, I'd say fail. Dunno if that feedback is helpful, but there it is.

    Correct, that has been the long standing policy regarding the old recurring deals such as the original 6th Anniversary deal. If you take a different deal you lose the recurring ongoing cheaper rate.

    Let me make some facts known to you people. Pantheon and some lesser games are due to be released this year. Daybreak is trying to beat these games but taking people's money first


    First of all, if you ever disputed any credit transaction with daybreak they ban your account immediately. They dont care if it is a 20 year old account. As consumers we dont have any protection from the virtual realm. There are no laws governing virtual transactions in reference to real money spent. After 3 months most credit companies dont do dispute charge backs.

    Let me ask everyone something- with all this new influx of money why did they decided to lay off those 70 employees at Christmas? Why dont they hire them back now?


    A fool and his money are easily parted

    Funny, the lifetime membership is supposed to have better customer support (see below); however, my husband asked about our 6 missing character slots in a ticket and he was told they couldn't answer him and to ask other players in the forum instead. LOL!!! So, here I am asking....does anyone know where to find the 6 new character slots that come with the purchase of the lifetime membership? It says that is a perk (see below) but it is the only thing that hasn't changed on our accounts when we log in. My husband, our son, and I all bought lifetime memberships. None of us have received the extra slots. I'm not sure if it is something we need to claim in game, etc. Any help/explanation on this would be greatly appreciated. :) Thank you!!

    Not sure I follow, but subscribing in general gives you access to 8, F2P is 2, hence the 6 extra. If upgrading from a grandfathered Silver account you only get 8, meaning you get increased by 4 to the 8 slots. Also lifetime membership is the same as being a subscribed, nothing different/better in terms of service level.

    If you're not seeing the 8 I would recommend making sure your payment went through? Could also be a patcher issue, do you have anything running that would mess with it? I've heard of antivirus (and cheat software...) causing it to patch wrong and have accounts load in the client as F2P or Silver, but again that's not a DBG issue, that's something else on your machine. If there's something else on your machine messing with the patcher, then I agree with customer service, it's your job to sort that out not theirs. Hopefully that helps!

    For what it's worth I'VE ONLY HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES with DBG customer service. My household bought 3 lifetime memberships and one of my siblings did too.

    The question I have for the Dev that said it does not mater what order you buy the lifetime and the 12 months bonus offer in is, is the conversion rate on the 12 months the same if you buy the lifetime offer first then the 12 month or do you have to buy the 12 month then the lifetime to get the 1500 conversion per month they were giving for the time that was left on the account?. If the later is the case then it would matter what order you purchased them in. I ask cause we bought 3 Lifetimes and was thinking of buying 2 of the bonus for 2 of accounts to get the items, but not if I am going to only get the 500 conversion per month rate for those 12 months that we would be purchasing on top of the Lifetime`s. Can you please answer this question for me?
  11. CatsPaws No response to your post cause your on ignore

    Or to put it in plain English what they describe on that page are perks for ANY all access account. Not in ADDITION to choosing another all access plan. So if you already were all access you are not getting 6 more slots in addition to the plan you have just like if you bought one of each of those plans you would not get 6 slots x how many plans you bought.

    We have never had bad service either, which is why that seemed funny/strange to us. So, if I understand correctly after reading your reply, it's not an "additional" 6 character slots if you are already a full access subscriber, only if you are upgrading? We were already full access so, in that case, it makes sense that we didn't see any added slots to our accounts. We read it as additional to what we already have, not as being upgraded to the regular amount on a paid subscription. It didn't say anything about upgrading from ftp or silver to get them, so I guess we just misunderstood the wording there. Thank you so much for the clarification! Much appreciated!

    Roxxlyy is there any chance we can get the base version of the photo of Firiona Vie without the text? I want to make it into a virtual Christmas card.

    The Lifetime All Access Membership has been brought back due to popular demand. It will be available through the end of the extravaganza on December 31, 2018.

    At this point, Daybreak should consider keeping Lifetime Membership a permanent option (if price adjusted up to $349 for "regular pricing"). I think the data points to people subbing and cancelling after expansion releases, subbing only during breaks/holidays, and subbing exclusively through (farming) Krono. Later buy-ins to Lifetime Membership only pushes the break-even point for those people.

    However, if Lifetime becomes more permanent, I'd be worried about what mechanisms will be introduced for recurring revenue - i.e. higher expansion prices ($35 to $45), more Pay-to-Win, in-game nerfs (moving the goal posts; buy back power), or even a higher subscription tier (Premium - more monthly goodies).

    see, now reopening the lifetime subs like this makes me a bit nervous. the reason for capping them at 4000 was to limit long term revenue loss. i believe there was even a dev post that said as much.

    making it unlimited till the 31st does make me raise my eyebrow.

    edit: i see the fine print actually does state a limit of 6000. not quite as concerned, but still odd. so not changing original post!

    I know some people that were upset that they missed out. Truth be told I just picked up another one as soon as they re-opened it because I was previously regretting not buying it for one more account.

    It's possible DBG is comfortable with how much of their money is from micro transactions/expansions versus subs. Case and point, my fiancé & I bought 3 premium editions of ROS when it was on sale earlier this year and about $200 in DBC between our accounts, so we spent about $410 outside of subs. We only had 2 accounts monthly subbed at a time we subbed midyear but annualized our sub's would've been $360 since it was the monthly rate. DBG probably doesn't care that we're not spending $360 on two subs next year because we just paid them $1,200 for membership upfront & the company probably assumes the bulk of their EQ revenue from us will continue to be Marketplace/expansions purchases, maybe more now that we have 4 All Access accounts instead of just 2.

    I suspect Benito is correct that this could just be an indicator that DBG is going to monetize more through micro transactions. However, I trust DBG is going to stay true to the concept of not letting players "pay for power". If you think about it, they already offer neat microtransactions for things like Heroes Forge armor, merc. slots, and key rings. You don't need these things at all to the play the game, but they make it a little more enjoyable and some are willing to pay for the convenience, decorations, or fun cosmetics.

    So in brief, I'm not worried since it could just indicate that DBG is going to make more from microtransactions than subs.

    Edit: Trying to fix my formatting, I give up!
