So you just get the regular version, and then it's an account option, or what?
Not the boxed version, I was going to get the download.
Yeah, there's an option on your account management to upgrade to CE (much like Aion did). It's 4.99 (+ tax in some states). At least, it was a month ago, it could've changed, but I seriously doubt it.
Wait, so you're saying that you can buy the regular edition and upgrade it for 4.99 to a CE? If that's true (as you said it may not be) they are treating potential customers as suckers because on their main page the CE is 10$ more than the regulard edition. It would suck for people to buy the CE edition for 10 more dollars when they could have bought the regular and upgraded it to the CE for 4.99. Something seems off.
So tons of people posted in this thread that the father's day deal was just a sham, and one could get it for that price anyway once you factored in the added game play. Well, I have conducted a brief search post-father's day, and that appears to be a load of BS. I do not see it anywhere for even close to the Father's Day price. I'd love to have someone show me these everyday prices that supposedly are so low. I have yet to find it significantly lower than Trion's prices on the site, including Amazon, Gamer's Gate, etc.
Guess you missed the deal then. Should have acted on it earlier.
You'll get another chance before long.
Yes .. they will be doing the ...3rd of the month , 6th of the month , 9th ... etc "special" deals soon ! You get a free level 50 with tier 1 raid gear and 3/4 of the pvp set for $12 from August ..
I find it amusingly shifty of them to not state that no free month comes with it, but I would bet they were counting on people to assume it came with a free month and not pay much attention to it.
I am assuming that of course but I just don't put things like that past any company or business nowadays.

Actually they DO mention it. The $9.99 deal was for a Trial Upgrade and it says that it will add no additional gametime. It lets you play out until the end of your free trial.

True they did at that, I was only looking at the ad shown in the OP, so my bad.
On the other hand, I think it is kind of lame to sell the game without the free month, that is basically selling something "on sale" which costs more than the price would indicate. You pay just to upgrade the trial and then you pay the sub price on top of that.
But hey, it was still a good deal comparatively. They didn't have to pay $50 like I did for a game that stopped being fun after the first month.

Well, it is fair, because they mark it down 15 dollars from what the whole price is on their site.

No, it is 14.99 for one-month.
