The free month thing is great and all BUT, I have sat next to my husband since early release, both playing daily!! However since I am leveling 4 characters at once, I will not be considered for the free month. My toons are between 23 and highest at 41. Also, my level 41 would be higher if my server wasn't dead and I could get more warzones in. I think they should have determined it by play time instead of level.
Anyway, that's my two cents. I do not expect anything to be done about it.
