So now that everyone is looking at their paid game day count...

derpsticks

According to your billing history, how much game time have you accumulated not including compensatory time / initial 30 days / 5 day prerelease?

(just add those 30, 60, 90, 180 day subscription / game time cards up)

I'm up to 4x 90 days + 60 day game time card for a total of 420 days.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO

I only pay month to month. My first bill was 5-9-2014. I was last billed Feb 3rd 2015. So on March 3rd Ill be billed again I assume. So on the cut off date of the 17th I'll have paid for 11 months.

derpsticks

Seems like some people have issues getting to 300 when they have been paying month to month. If anyone has been on the 90 day plan since the beginning they are basically guaranteed to get to 300 and same with the 180 day. I lapsed a few days after my first 90 days ran out because my payment info was out of date but I'm still in the clear.

@jamesharv2005ub17_ESO‌ Just be sure to double check that you've added the days correctly before then so you don't miss the mount by a month.

technohic

6 x 30 days. In 8 days it will be 7 and that may be my last. Although it's kind of clever to allow for purchasing months beyond the Tamriel Unlimited date to get you the senche mount. I could see some people spending some money for it.

derpsticks

I believe the time gets converted after the transition and counts as days towards an ESO plus subscription. So even if you have an extra month or even a few days you'll get some bonus xp and maybe a few crowns to go with it.

bosmern_ESO

currently I'm at 270 days subbed, will be 300 in 7 days.

I believe the overall I had about 1-2 weeks of not having a sub.

I also don't know if the 30 days free when you bought the game and the 3 days of compensation count towards it, if they do I believe I already have 300+

b92303008rwb17_ESO

For me, it's 60*2+90*2 and the subscription ends on March 19th, leaving me 297 days of elapsed subscription time. I called for mercy earlier and obviously they heard me.

11 30 day billings not counting the free comp days or the free 30 days with the box. So thats 330 days it will be as of March 16th. Ill be billed the 3rd or 4th of March. So those 30 days count as well.

derpsticks

@jamesharv2005ub17_ESO‌ Just looking out for you is all, some people in the other (angrier) thread were throwing numbers around that made it seem like having even 10 months was hit or miss.

Orchish

I've been subbed since day one, so how ever many that is i have.

Knootewoot

I pay per 3 months. So now its 2 times 180 days - the days until i pay again (9th of May before i get charged again. So thats 85 days or so. So i accumulated for 180+95 days=280 days - 5 days for compensation =275 days as of today.

9 may the billing started (after free 30 days and 5 day early access).

Onicx

I'm a little unsure if I will be receiving the mount. Can someone tell me if I will be eligible based on my billing history?

Just count the "30 Day Subscription" lines. You can do it! I believe in you.

jluceyub17_ESO

@MattG19xx‌ as long as your next month's renewal fee hits before March 16th, you'll have paid for 10 30-day subs, which is 300 days.

derpsticks

@MattG19xx‌

Looks like you should be good if they charge you for your 10th 30 day subscription before the cutoff. You have 9 there by my count.

Xendyn

Athas24

360+ as of the 5th of this month when my sub termed. RAWR Tiger Status for meee!

Snit

I pay monthly, and I have been here since closed beta. I pre-ordered the Imperial Edition.

My billing statement now shows 10 instances of "30 day subscription... $ 14.99," with the last one in early February. Presumably, there will be another one in early March, so I will have 11 paid transactions.

If you have been here since the beginning, and you exclude the free 30 days you got with the box and the free five days we got for some kerfuffle, you should have 300 days now, with another 30 days coming prior to the deadline.

derpsticks

@Snit‌

Excellent use of kerfuffle.

danno8

Well, this really could suck for me.

I was out of country from April 7 2014 to May 5 last year so I started my sub on May 6 2014. With the one month free my first 30 days did not get billed until 6/6/2014.

I unsubbed September 5 due to terrible crashing, but quickly resubbed when 1.4.3 hit on September 18 because they fixed the Data Load Failure issue with that patch.

So now my billing schedule starts on the 18th of every month. My next one should be on February 17th, but because February only has 28 days the next renewal will be on March 20th. So I will miss my 300 deadline by 2 days.

@#$% you February.

derpsticks

@danno816_ESO‌

Just cancel you current 30 recurring plan and buy a 30 day game time card in the mean time to activate before you would've been billed. Then just setup the recurring payment again when you are ready.

30 day time cards are applied immediately, even if there is still time left on your sub?

No but it counts as paid time for this particular situation according to the moderator post.

derpsticks

@danno816_ESO‌

You should be able to add the days from the card directly to your account even if you still have days left to play from the previous 30 day recurring purchase.

If you go to your account page by logging in here: https://account.elderscrollsonline.com

You should see a note that tells you how much game time remaining you have available.

When you activate the game time card the amount of days on the card will be added directly to the amount of game time remaining listed on the account page.

Roechacca

I'm at 300 now because I used a 60 time card in January .

xaraan

I'm up to 300; 90x3 + 30 in billing history.

Thanks for the advice.

I may just do a one time 90 day switch before the 17th. That will give me the mount, and around 2 months of post-TU playtime. More than enough time to get a feel for whether the sub is worth it or not.

And really only 1 extra paid month compared to the time card scenario.

Buck

I have 9*30 day subs and my sub renews tomorrow the 14th... that gets me to 300 days one day before the cutoff.


edit: Doh... just re-read "You must have paid for 300 days of game time prior to March 16th" ....prior to the 16th... well then I guess I will be one day short.

.../facepalm

derpsticks

Sounds good danno.

I think the biggest draw of ESO plus is the crowns they give each month. If you are the kind of person who is really excited about something unique on the crown store, then subbing will get you that.

Otherwise, I'm not sure if the 10% additional xp is quite worth it unless there were a DLC package to go along with it that non-subs would have to pay for regardless.

Unfortunately since there won't be a large selection of DLC any time soon so they are stuck pushing the crown store for a bit. Making a sales pitch about how ESO plus allows people to play with all of the DLC is kind of a moot point, in fact I don't even know why they seem to keep mentioning that.

@Buck‌

Take a look at when I post above regarding the game time cards.

Just cancel the recurring payment for a month, apply a game time card before time is up, and it will automatically add directly to the unused time you have currently. Then resub after your remaining time is up.

Game card time automatically posts towards paid game time . You don't need to do all that . Just add the time card . It will be applied to payment history immediately .
