"New Account" Question

ArtaiosArtaios Member UncommonPosts: 550

Hi there.

I bought yesterday a Vanguard box for 10€.

Now i would like to know, if i could first use up the buddy key to play the game, because i dont have much free time this month.

So would it be possible to enter the Account Key from my box to get the 30 free days, some weeks after ill use up the 10 days buddy key?

I hope somone here can help me.

    I find that extremely hard to believe.  I suggest anyone looking to do this ask on the SOE Vanguard support forums and get an official response.  You pay for that game time when you buy the box.

    Its not so Mutch a scam as Suckering Others into trying it.

    Now if you want to you can use the 10Day then make a Second account and Use the 30Day game code. Think that works.

    If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
    —Samuel Adams

    Since when?

    On EQ2 you can use the trial. On POTBS (While not an SOE game) you can use the trail.

    You can't (or could not) use the trial on SWG simply because you get the game client and only need to subscribe to continue playing. You won't need to buy the client, if you buy the client you will get the missing expansions and name one other game where you get 30 days when you are buying an expansion.

    I'll ask again when did they make it so that you can't use a trial and then on same account get the initial 30 days when upgrading the account?

    I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.

    Really is no need to to that. You are stating that it always have been that way with SOE.

    Which obviously it is not.

    And not.

    So either you are lying or yoy don't really know. Pick whatever you feels fit. Or you could answer to when they changed this.

    Don't you think it would be better if you just admitted to not know instead of persist upon saying something that is not true. The only way you could prove you are right is by saying when they changed it.

    Station pass is when you pay one month for all games on the account, hence adding a new game don't give the 30 days. Because they are already payed for.

    So you still doesnt know.

    So you go from scam to broken.

    And where are all those forums posts about this, where are all those forums post from people upgrading from a buddy key to retail and the not getting the 30 days?

    Well, not sure how it is these days but when I started back in September I first entered buddy code and fooled around a bit just to see if the game is really that horrible as people had been saying over here on mmorpg.com. Then I went abroad for 3 weeks and when I came back I decided to subscribe to the game. When I entered game key it looked like I wasn't given a month free. But then when I entered credit card info and subscribed I got a month free (next billing of my cc was 1 month from the day I did it).

    Hope this helps answer this question once and for all.

    So, based on that link, the "Free 30 days" in box is considered to be a trial and thus doesn't stack with the free 10 day trial?  That's a load of manure because the VG CE box says a 30 day free subscription is included.  That is NOT a trial...I feel like that link fans the flames of confusion further.
