Oh how I wish this was around sooner.

But incredibly grateful to see it now.

[Ren Kurogane]

Nice! Now i don't have to be scared of losing all my premium time because of misclick...(happened to my Phoenix Project's premium time, 90 days...)

next, can you divide it into more smaller days, like...a week maybe?

[-Teiwaz-]

I have 218 days banked and I had no intention of starting any of it until I saw something of CW that looked promising. This at least may get me using some of my time. Thank-you, I like it.

[M4NTiC0R3X]

98 days of banked time, been waiting over a year for this.

THANK YOU X INFINITY TO THE INFINITYETH POWER!!!!!!!

[0verClock]

Make it 3 days and i'll activate mine. 1 month is still too much for me.

[KodiakGW]

158 days of banked time.

Step in the right direction, but not going to use it yet.

[Roland]

I'd prefer to be able to activate it in 7 day chunks, if possible. Thanks.

[Succubusy]

I feel cheated, just activated my 260+ days a few weeks back.

[Mimi von Raider]

thx guys for this) good, if in future appeared an option for week( 7 days) activation.

The day PGI makes premium time only active when I'm logged in, is the day I start buying premium time.

and no, I don't care what Wold of Tanks does.

This will never happen in any game. That is like expecting subscription based games to only count time while you are logged in. In those games you pay for a month whether you play or not. So this makes perfect sense to me.

Heck in FTP games that offer you monthly options the same is also true. None of the games would be able to continue running if they didn't make money somehow. Just be thankful PGI does not put advertisements in your game when you don't have premium time active. Other FTP games do this quite frequently.

I think this is great, the fact that I can have 90 days banked and only use 30 at a time is totally awesome. Can you think of any other game that allow this? I sure can't, even subscription games that allow you to pay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at a time start the clock right away whether you play or not.

[FelixBlucher]

Cool, thanks, the only thing that could make this better would be the ability to choose how many hours to activate at a time. **Fingers crossed** :-)

This

Really, for those of us that have large banks rolling, this does nothing. Any time we get from things (like clan wave 2) just keeps adding to the number. The only way to stop it is to stop buying anything.

So, functionally, this change is asking me to stop buying anything that might lead to premium time until my bank runs out, and then maybe think about buying it again. And since I'm not a rational being, and since I've already run into this with Firefall, the answer will likely be that I won't buy anymore.

If the change went back and converted current rolling times back into 30-day blocks then maybe it would be a boon to me, as it is, it actually just frustrates me additionally.

What is with the Premium time currently running? I and a friend tried to contact support and Nico (no other choice but forum PMs) with no response on this matter.

So we had to activate the full 230 days. It's running since...

[Arnie76]

Very nice move!
Unfortunately I also activated 189 days of banked time 1 week ago without knowing of this change. Heard it in the town hall video a few days later . Would be a nice gesture to have everything but the running month "re-banked".
Would that be technically possible? I would appreciate this as I could try and time it to not run while travelling etc.

3072h i can slash now in quarters.

thx a lot not, epic failers.

1. learn to type/write properly.

3. grow up

This basically amounts to a token offer. Despite how gratuitous you are making it seem to "gift" us with this option. If I PURCHASE something from a vendor, then it should be AT MY DISCRETION to utilize my purchase.

Tell that to Comcast.

So did I! And when I heard Russ' announcement for it in the NGNG townhall I felt a little bit cheated. But ...

... after thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that I made a concious decision to activate my premium time and I am responsible for my own decision, no matter if future discoveries, changes or other circumstances prove my decision to be wrong.

Maybe you re-read what you wrote and delete it afterwards because "other games with premium you are able to activate it by 24h/3d/7d/30d/180d/365d from start of the beta" is plain wrong. I think you know it, you just want to cry a bit like always.

nope i know it exactly, sweety. i´ll give u a hint: survarium. and now you should delete ur trollposts

[Quardak]

AND you are truly wrong

btw.... buying every package i can get provides me with full premium time all day long

good ace mans, don't stop, the last choices are revealed the better of last times.
