You know, I bet pronouncing that is much easier then spelling it.

The soft -ch- sound is the tricky part.

rofl. The worthy adversary for smedbucks

On topic, I would say the odds are extremely low that they will actively track back purchase records just to negate bonus SC. They would make every PS vet hate them for what is nothing but loose change to them

Odds are they will just look at your balance, oh you have 10k smedbux? That will be 10k reichsmarks

But Planetside 1 will not be handled by ProSiebenSat, and euro players won't be able to create SOE accounts to play Planetside 2.

However, a SOE Station account is not tied to a single game.

So if you're a euro DCUO player and you want to continue playing that game, you have to "migrate" your SOE account (and Station Cash balance) to ProSiebenSat. Does that migration then delete your old SOE account ?

What if you still want to play any of the other SOE F2P games not yet transferred to PSS1 ? Do you have to create a new SOE Station account and buy Station Cash again ? And what happens when that F2P game is moved to PSS1 in 3 months time ? Do you now have to "merge" your SOE and PSS1 accounts ?

Looks like things are going to be a bit muddy for the next while...

I dunno if your SOE account gets deleted. However I do think that when you create an Prosieben account and link it with your SOE account, that the data of the games Prosieben handles, will be transferred to your new account. Including SC. But I am almost sure smedley was talking about a refund, for peole who don't like that their SC gets transferred to prosieben cash. It would be really odd that we don't get our SC transferred over. Since DCUO players did get it transferred over, and it also states so in the official FAQ that we get it transferred over.

This from the ProSiebenSat DCUO site:

However, there is one thing you should know: to log into DCUO in future, you will need to link your existing SOE Station account with a newly created ProSiebenSat.1 Games account or an existing alaplaya account. It goes without saying that all your game progress, characters and items will be transferred, and your Station Cash converted 1:1 to SevenCash. Naturally the Legendary and Premium memberships will retain their usual advantages.

Eh... I got this E-mail back from John:

This is for Planetside 2 only. The game isn’t launched yet (unlike our current games that are switching over).

If you feel like you deserve a refund after hearing that Brad can help you.

Thanks

John

This is what I sended;

Hey,

I am an EU player and I would like to transfer my SC to my Pro 7 account. The official FAQ states that your station cash gets transferred over, and also the people who are playing DUCO, are getting their Station cash transferred to their new Pro 7 account. But I read your post on Reddit, and it isn't entirely clear for me and other people what you mean. Do you mean that Station cash doesn't get transferred to a new Prosieben account when you create one? Or are you giving a refund for people who don't like that their Station cash, gets transferred to prosieben cash. Because I don't mind. I just want to make sure that my SC gets transferred to my Prosieben account when PlanetSide 2 releases. Especially since I brought the SC during a double SC sale deal.

I hope you can clarify this

Greetings,

Bjorn

Brad is the guy that I can send an e-mail to for a refund.

But I still don't get it lol. I sended him another mail.

And I got this back:

I did a bad job of explaining that in the heat of the AMA.

What I mean is we have no plans to transfer SC over because it’s a brand new game starting from day 1 on Prosieben. There is no way to buy SC specifically for Planetside 2 right now.

However if people did buy it with the pure intent of using it in PS2 then I’ll happily see they are given a refund including you.

I’ve copied Brad Wilcox who can help take care of you if you feel that way.

Thanks for being a player!

So they have no plans on transferring SC. I do find this odd, since Station Cash does get transferred over to DCUO players.

Oh well, I will just get a refund, and use that money on when PS2 comes out.

[edit]

And I got this back for the refund:

Bjorn,

If you can give me a couple days to resolve some issues working to have having your Station Cash transferred over to ProSieben when the game starts. If we can't work that out then I will get you refunded for the SC. I should have an answer in the next few days, and for sure will respond back with a resolution. Bottom line, your SC will be converted to ProSieben or I will refund you.
Feel free to contact me with any further questions

Maybe there is hope after all

[NoDachi]

Well this is annoying and inconvenient.

[bjorntju1]

Yup... I brought $100 worth of SC for the price of $50. So now I loose 5000 SC... Not really happy with it. But I should just deal with it. I will use that money on the EU store when PS2 comes out. Thank god PS2 is awesome

Got this as well as the copy pasted message from John Smedley;

If we are not getting anything before GamesCom, i shall try my best.



Really, SC needs to be transfered, no matter if for older games or for PS2. A good chunk of people got a lot of SC ready for PS2, and that stuff needs to be transfered over.


IF anyone mails Brad again, please also ask about the Vet status. Want to know for sure if that gets over th Pro7 as well (im pretty sure it will, but gotta make sure these days...)
