PS1 Free Time - Are Planetside Reserves Vets ?

KaB · 2012-06-27, 10:56 AM

As an occasionnal player of Planetside 1, the Planetside Reserves account fitted perfectly with my play time. So I've been playing PS1 for many years now, until SOE decided to stop the Planetside Reserves accounts this year.

Now as I never paid anything for PS1, do you think I'll be considered as a Veteran ? Will I get the PS1 Free Time for the 1st July event ?

In my subscritpion section, it says "subscription expired/ is closed". And when I click on Details on the right, I have activated functions.

I also already contacted SOE support weeks ago in order to know if I was considered as a Vet for the Beta Key giveaway and they told me that having PS1 registered on my account "afforded [my] priority access when [they] do start giving out access."

Now I hope it'll also work for the PS1 Free Time.

It seems to be the case... I still don't receive it whereas some friends who paid for it just got the Free Time.

Don't you mean 2007?

Since the reserves started in 2006, and it ran for a year.

About your question. I dont know. I remember RadarX telling a few weeks ago that they aren't sure if reservers people get into the beta. So they don't know if they are counted as vets.

Want to join in on the 7/1 PlanetSide day but haven't played in years? All past PlanetSide players are getting 30 days game time this week!

Higby says all PS1 players though, confusing. :/

Yea the reserves accounts could be made between 2006 and 2007, but since few months of this year (2012), their free subrscription has been stopped.

I noticed it all by myself by the way.

Higby:
the grant should be done processing at 11:59pm pst tonight, it's only valid for people who had a paid account, no reserves.

And then says paid only.

Looks like reserves are SOL (although some are reporting their reserves accounts activated, so no idea wtf is going on).

I wasn't reserves and my account has yet to be activated either so I dunno what to think they have 8 min to activate it

I really hope I can hold these guys to their word. Or at least release an update or something telling us they are running into some issues I have not seen hide nor hair of anything like that yet.

Have you guys?

Still nothing here.

Westy543 · 2012-06-29, 03:32 AM

A friend who had reserves only joined and was able to play tonight. Yes.

Zidane · 2012-06-29, 04:49 AM

You should get the free time

KaB · 2012-06-29, 04:54 AM

Yeah right now I start to believe I definitely should ! I just wanna be there on July the 1st.

If you paid a sub for PS at some point and have not gotten your free time submit a SOE Support ticket asap they will work it out.

KaB · 2012-06-29, 10:58 AM

I submited a Support ticket, but never paid anything cause I only have a reserve account.

But because a lot of reserves got the free time, I just don't know why can't I get it !

Reserves accounts (I.e. free accounts) are not eligible. We did not want legions of hackers getting in to ruin the vets fun. It's also worth noting that if you do get banned for hacking its an account wide ban to all games, including ps2, so no beta access.
