Suspending Premium

Beerbeer · 2013-01-15, 10:46 PM

There should be a way for us to suspend long-term premium memberships.

Call it a sabbatical, I don't care, but it's not a refund, just a suspension. Move us to FTP and allow us to automatically reactivate upon first login.

Ya I could suspend it every day when I log off. Brilliant!!!!!!

Or you could just accept the deal you signed up for and pay agaoin later on.

Would be nice to go mobile pre-payed for a while while i'm paying off my mobile phone on my 2Yr plan.

Some months i don't get anywhere NEAR the cap.

You're not allowed to take a break Beerbeer, man up and log in

Yeah ghost, I'm sure they would bother to track it and break it down by the hour and allow those hours to cumulatively build.

I'm talking about long breaks. Allow us to suspend one month intervals or something.

Why would this game be any different than a sub model of yesterday? Unless there are some crazy circumstances, they don't do refunds. If you don't like the game, suck it up, learn for next time that you do not buy long term subs for games you don't know will hold you interested for that period of time

Everyone please stop.....just STOP asking for refunds or for a change to the terms YOU agreed to....I am embarassed for you. This is a free to play game, YOU did not have to invest a dime, YOU chose to. YOU clicked yes to the agreement of purchase and it's YOU who have the choice to play it or not.

Take some personal accountabililty........if we all had to drop $60 from the get go in a traditional sense to even be able to play the game I would understand how the consumer would have a right to stomp their foot, but this was all consumer (YOU) choice and SOE put NO MONEY BARRIERS up to gain access to PS2.

You may not be happy with what you bought or you may not have time to enjoy what you bought......but it was YOU who made the decision. So go look in a mirror and tell yourself YOU will be more cautious next time and stop wasting internet space being a cry baby or trying to rally support for YOUR mistake.

OP post may be logical after the fact, but it is however after the fact and YOU should have thought about that before hand regardless.

Why?

Beerbeer · 2013-01-16, 11:44 AM

I'm not asking for a refund, so chill out.

This is a rather simple request and I have my reasons.

I don't believe one month postponements is that disruptive to either party, or would you rather we preach about the virtues of not buying premium? I will be than happy to do that every chance I get, so back off.

I thought that the Premium bonus was saved for at least a month, provided you re-subbed before the end of that period.

Also, that if you sub for six months, you get the six-month Premium bonus straight up.

That's pretty decent if it is the case, afterwards I agree with VaderShake that nobody forced you to pay in the first place.

What do you think a phone company would say if you sign up for a 12 month sub and want to "put it on hold" after 1? I think they would lol quite hard. I also think that no one in his right mind would ask for that either as they know way it would not fly at all. So way in the hell do you think it would fly in this situation?

Contact support, supposedly they will suspend your premium sub

The cell phone comparison is horrible though, as you pay by the month, not 6 or 12

It's actually not that unreasonable a thing to ask for. Even banks provide temporary deferments from loans payments under certain circumstances. This is a different animal than asking for something like a refund on spent station cash, which you have already agreed isn't possible under any circumstances.

I just kinda wish that with premium your passive cert gain while logged out continued to come in and I didn't have to log in every day. How can this be pay to win if I'm not winning by just paying and not playing? huh?

But seriously why can't I get my passive certs since I paid a sub?

With premium it would be nice to have unlimited server transfers. I would love to be able to visit my friends on other servers without paying extra for a two way trip.
