Back in the olden days, when CW was supposed to be out very soon after open beta, a lot of players felt very strongly that they should not be forced to use their premtime until the game was 'complete.'

PGI responded by creating a sort of bank feature that would save your time until you saw fit to activate it. Now, this was over TWO YEARS AGO, but I figured since the forum's super slow, why not make a little thread about this, and see if there are any OGs left.

My personal bank includes every single premtime day I've ever gotten that's been bankable, founder's included.

Still have all of mine + some early on event time when it went to the bank before the current auto activate events.

Only way I'm going to burn through it at this point is if I could activate it on 3day sets or burn premium time to get mech bays. Just too busy to activate 30days of it en bulk only to get a handful of days of play out of it.

I was considering doing a 30 day run with the quirk release, but since they moved onto november, at which point my freetime ends... Well.

January, maybe?

302 days 4 hours

That does not include my Founders time. I used that sometime that first fall.

I would REALLY like an option to start cutting of month chunks or something.......

They added a feature to allow you to just enable one month at a time.

(or are adding? Pretty sure it's in now)

It's in. Look under your forum profile tab. There's a button that lets you activate 30 days.

Yup... still have founders time. I play weekly, but not consistently enough to consider activating it. It's one of those things where I feel that if I don't spend several hours a day while it is ticking down I'll be "wasting" it.

Well then....

I very much appreciate you starting this thread. Now that I've gotten so used to accumulating the stuff I don't now that I can turn it on.

Don't really need it to play. Such a dilemma.

I can't remember If I had activated my founder PT before, but the last time I activated my banked time, I had something like 150 days which should be Overlord + Masakari.
I'm still ticking down my last few days of these PT days, but There should be more from the Gargoyle pack.

I had activated my PT to level up all these preorder mechs, but sometimes I still get lazy and use my MC to get GXP and just level them that way ^^

Yep, still have it all. Been waiting for CW assuming that there would be some other benefits improved with premium time - e.g. loyalty points and that my play time will be more consistent once CW was in place. Probably an unsafe assumption on the first part at this point, but still waiting.
Although it's awesome that they added the 30 day activation option since by the time I would be activating it would be like a half year subscription.

I still have over 4k of my initial 20k founder's MC.

I still have mine ... I have been holding off till CW because I thought it would give me more Loyalty Points. That is what happens when you want to be a member of the Wolf's Dragoons.

93 odd days of premium time still banked. Playing leisurely, and waiting to get a new PC before using it. And Cw of course.

I ended up using mine after the Phoenix package hit since my friends were excited about playing again. In some ways I regret it, others I don't.

I've been keeping track of this again lately because of the free crap they are giving us and the quirk system they've started showing. If they can get some form of actual planetary combat in then I will play full bore again, otherwise I will probably log in to see the bonus mechs and then leave it lay till they do.
