Piddletrenthyde Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 We say today is the x of, at least here in Scotland. It's just the way it's said. You folks out in yankee land like to do things different whether right or wrong. Yeah that big ol' pond between us makes us stupid I guess! Was just curious because I seem to see a lot of hand-wringing about this from our European friends. Though to be honest I've been confused by this also when viewing EU sites and getting dates wrong on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProsaicProse Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I don't believe I received the pet (or ever will, according to the email I got saying I would) despite having an active account. I'm a bit confused as to what "active subscriber" means. I thought it included people using game time codes, though maybe not, since I have game time card on my account, but not an active subscription (??).

Voodookoo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I just looked at my subscription under my account and noticed they added my 30 days on there... I'm yet to log into the game to see if I have the Tauntaun yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarksouldragonX Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm at work but i logged in and my renewal date is the 27th of each month and mine has been bumped by 30 days so it looks good from my point of view and I'll find out about the tauntaun when I get home in 3 and a half hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephane Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) This has always made me wonder something. When Europeans ask each other what the date is do you say "Today is the 25th of April" since that is the way you like to display it? Here in Amurica we would say "Today is April 25th". Just curious and sorry to go off-topic. Exactly. Germans say, literally translated, today is the 25th April 2012, or alternatively even today is the 25th 4th 2012. That is numerically written as 25.04.2012 (one does not write out or abbreviate the name of the month) which looks like the first two numbers are ordinals, and are thus even pronounced as such.

thomasgallant Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 i got mine about 3 or so hours ago. which would be 12 edt aprol 25th. so id assume they are in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvig Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) i got mine about 3 or so hours ago. which would be 12 edt aprol 25th. so id assume they are in the works. My account right now as of 12:42 Pacific time shows that I do have the 30 days credit, but as of right now no Tauntaun pet. I do assume I'll get one, but do find it a bit odd that I haven't yet, given I do have the 30 days now. Addendum: Just got my pets, one per character of course.

REiiGN Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have mine too. So awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liokae Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) The Tauntaun pet and the extra game time are part of separate promotions, and thus are being distributed by separate processes. It should be no surprise that they arrive at different times. Keep calm, and hold on until after their stated "no later than" time before worrying.

Andryah Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) The free 30 days was credited to my account when I checked this morning. Also, my characters all had TaunTauns in their mail box as well. Cute little fella. He seems to have ADD though as he's a little slow to follow from the stopped position sometimes.

BuckShotSchell Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 So as long as you meet the subscription requirements you get the tautaun? Im confused. I'm pretty new april 4 and i am about to make 30, but i dont have any legacy. Will i get the darn critter or not? I really want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunflake Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Dear Mr Bass, I live in the Netherlands. Its a country where we not to fond of credit cards. Thus i started playing on the release of the game up till now. I have played a total of 50 days and 20 hours. From day 1 i used a timecard of 60 days. Since then i always updated my accountstatus with 60 days. Atm i still have 23 days left and not bad standing like bannend or anything. I have been playing and supporting from the start, have only 1 main character who is fun and i stayed with Bioware through thick and tin. Why do I not get 30 days free? I feel i am penalized for not haveing a creditcard. When you are useing a timecard you don't have an unlimited subscribtion like a creditcard. I would appriciate a responce to this.

Wondering this as well, apologies if it's been answered elsewhere, I haven't been able to dig it up if it has. Do we get it even if we don't have legacy on a certain character yet? Will we get it once Legacy becomes unlocked? I did receive the pet on my character who does have legacy, so I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus_Jedi Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Got my free 30 Days, now just waiting for my transfer and then when they supply the pet:) So I will be on this game to at least 18/06/2012. But unless I see 1.3 with some nice content and what they advise is coming in the legacy I will be taking a break. Give the game some months to push out more story content and refine some more.

Where are you getting your info from? I have not recieved no mails from bioware nor has my account been added with 30 days., Other people have had their 30 days added and some have received ingame pets. So i am either "overlooked" or i miss data. That is the info i based my question upon. Edited April 25, 2012 by Sunflake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly: The 30 days of game time will show up on your account by April 25, 2012, 11:59PM CDT/ April 26, 2012, 4:59AM GMT and will begin once your current game time remaining expires. We still have around 6 hours until the deadline, and if you have time paid for you won't see the free time until the time you have already paid for has been used.
