My wife and i bought the standard edition. This nets us 3 new "classic" packs where as the collectors we would have been paying for to many options we already purchased seeing we are both premium.

Anyone else feel thrown to Premium?  I can't find a reason to stay VIP.

I was VIP for 6 months, and then changed to Premium. Some days I am not very sure if it was a good decision. It is not only like rest says (sheer laziness).
If I could unmake my decision, I would have stayed VIP. There are lots of times I want to do something on elite, but I am too cheap to buy an elite opener. Then, I think a lot before buying another Character slot ( I have 5 now).
It is like renting or buying a car in NY. If you have the car, you use it a lot, and it is quite expensive, car costs + insurance + gas + repair+ parking lot= 500 $ a month with a new car in 10 years.
So you decide it is cheaper to rent a car when you need it, or take a cup. But you are too cheap, and only spend 50$ a month, so you loose a lot of "live quality".

Okay, yes, the example is stupid. But I spent quite a time writing it, and I am too cheap to delete it.

You do not need to open elite on first or second lifers. You have goddamned 50% XP tomes now which alone replace the bravery bonus on first lifers, and on second lifers you get the hard bonus PLUS the tome.

And character slots are pretty cheap when they're on sale, something like 476 TP.

I just did Shadow crypt on Elite with the following XP bonuses:

1)  10% bonus for Turbine Event
2)  5% Voice
3)  3% Ship Buff
4)  80% first time elite
5)  50% Elite streak
6)  20% Bravery bonus (or is this 25%)
7)  50% Greater tome of learning
8)  20% XP Pot

We got 10,500 in optionals
We got 46,279 at quest completion
= 57,279 for one quest!

I think I'll take my elite bonus for first time!

Opening on elite on first life/second life means I'm capping quicker.

So yes, I do need it. Maybe you don't. But I do.

Yep.
Hard (85%) = First time bonus (40%) + Bravery (20%) + Streak (25%)
Elite (150%) = First time bonus (80%) + Bravery (20%) + Streak (50%)


I will definitely take an extra 65% XP bonus in addition to my now 50% greater learning bonus.

Especially after level 13 on a double+ TR.

That Onyx panther is as tall as my first life Female Drow. I summoned it in the vale to check and it was EYE TO EYE with me! And yes she takes a party slot. I thought about the Arti, Dog, Panther party. I see fun times soon!

The cosmetics don't take a slot.

Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

Famous last words. I expect to mention it to my wife tonight, and receive an exasperated sigh, along with the freedom to blow $80 guilt free.

I am guilt free too! I am sure this would be ok with her since I had saved for it.

My fiance is lucky.  Not only does he not get waggro from me because I play, but I'm a greedle.  He woke me up to tell me how much it costs and what you get with it and my only response was "Must buy!  Want stuff!!"
  

Tarrant can suck my boobies.  On second thought, they are far too soft and supple for the likes of him.  Tarrant, you can GFY while having hopeless pathetic dreams of my boobies.

Take my money.

I want this, but I don;t understand how it works.

If I pre-purchase, when do I get my TP, tome, etc?

Also, how do I make sure this purchase is attached to my current account.

Anyone have details or tried it already?

I didn't read through 3 pages to see if someone answered your question, so I will.  Once you complete your purchase, you will get a game code.  Login to your account page at myaccount.turbine.com and enter the game code in the Product Key box and hit submit.

Just saw a thread that mentioned a line in the expansion order that said, "This subscription will automatically renew at US $143.40 every 12 months plus any applicable taxes. Recurring subscription fee and any applicable taxes will be charged against your credit card every 12 months in advance after the free period. All subscription payments are non-refundable."

Hopefully, your coworker won't get an unpleasant surprise next Feb 27.

Mine just shows that it renews at the regular rate, at the regular time as it always does. I am betting that person you are referring to is on the yearly plan, and just freaked to see it again on the confirmation page.

Nice try though.

Actually it wasn't Mezz

Cat was named Superstar (it hangs out with Cammie O'Role)
Pup is Sidekick (will hang with most of my characters)
Spider is Crawler (not sure where it will go)

The FAQ even goes over the whole thing about VIP plans being kept or if you don't want to upgrade to VIP doing a YEARLY plan, don't just hit the button.
