Warblood requested a video an C-bills and MC. I've also included the store and premium time. Enjoy and please let me know if there is something you'd like to see!



Edit for grammar.

Spike Brave - Another great video/tutorial! I'm glad you did this one. Thought I would know most of it, but I didn't know tat the booster (premium) time started right away. I thought it would go in the bank until you wanted t use it.

I see you found a way to fix your sound issues. Looking forward to your next tutorial.

Thanks again and good hunting

It used to work that it was banked. I tested it out right about I made the vid to be sure and found that this has changed. The last time they gave away premium time, it activated the next time you logged in after they injected it. Also the sound issue was resolved by leaving the computer settings alone and turning down the volume in the game settings.

Time only goes BANKED if you receive it via a preorder pack or otherwise purchased on the website and not in-game.

Previously "free" premium time promos would also go banked but that was with the old redeem system, the last few times they gave a free day premium (such as to make up for time lost during server outages/instability) has been granted as active time, but this time was not "redeemed" or purchased on the website it was simply injected into the account.

Thanks for the clarification on this. I used the term redeemed because that's what the notification dialog says. If you were to log in after receiving anything injected into your account, you'll get a pop up that says redeeming items. Please check your inventory. The old system of logging into the website and entering a code to get a promotional item still exists. It's under your forum profile on the website. It's located on the navigation bar at the top and says simply redeem. The last time, that I'm aware of,it was used was for the Alienware hanging item give away.

As mentioned it depends on how you receive it now.

In-game purchases start immediately. "real money" packages or redeem codes are supposed to bank (as they can't know when you're going to play next, as opposed to just logging in).

There had been some back-end changes to the store that hadn't been dissemated to the staff properly. Had that problem when Niko got his forum sigs (he got it sorted out for me when the working week restarted; thanks Niko!).
