It's going to be an epic holiday season for our VIPs this December! Starting on December 12th, if your account is VIP, any of your characters that are at least level 20 will get a free Epic Heart of Wood! This offer is good through January 12th, and any VIP characters are eligible to receive the free Epic Heart so long as they are at least level 20.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How is the free Epic Heart delivered?

If you're a VIP, your level 20+ characters will receive the Epic Heart upon login in their inventory automatically. Note that if you reach level 20 after December 12th, the Epic Heart will be delivered upon your next login. So you may need to log out and back in before the Epic Heart will appear in your inventory if you want to claim it right away during the same play session. If you do not log the character in between Dec 12th - Jan 12th, it won't receive the free Epic Heart.

I have some characters that aren't 20 yet, and I don't think I can get them to level 20 by Dec 12th, what should I do?

Even if your character reaches level 20 after the 12th of December, they'll still be able to get the free Epic Heart any time between Dec 12th and Jan 12th. Remember, the free Heart will appear in inventory upon your next login, so once you reach level 20 you need to log out and then log back in for the Epic Heart to appear in character inventory.

I'm a VIP, how many of my level 20+ characters can get a free Epic Heart?

All of them! As long as your character is at least level 20, they can receive the free Epic Heart. That also means any of your other characters that reach level 20 by January 12th will receive one too (remember to log out/back in once you level to 20)!

I'm not a VIP, is it too late to become one to get some free Epic Hearts?

It's not too late - as long as you become VIP between December 12th and January 12th you're eligible. Click here to learn how to upgrade to VIP!

Are the Epic Hearts bound in any way?

These free Epic Hearts of Wood are bound to character.

I was level 20, but I did a Heroic True Reincarnation before the event started and now I'm level 1 again. Can my character still get a free Epic Heart as long as I get back up to level 20?

Whether it's your first life or your 40th, your character can get a free Epic Heart once they reach level 20 between Dec 12th and Jan 12th. Your character can only get 1 free Epic Heart ever, but it doesn't matter which life that happens during.

I'm really good at leveling fast! If my character reaches level 20 and then heroic true reincarnates, can they get another free Epic Heart if I reach level 20 again?

Each character can only get the free Epic Heart once ever. Once they get the free Epic Heart, they won't receive additional ones on subsequent lives.

This is a question from the future! Imagine that it's January 13th and I’m a VIP, but I forgot to log in one of my old level 20 characters between Dec 12th and Jan 12th. Will they still get the free Epic Heart if I log them in after Jan 12th?

Your level 20+ character must log in at some point between Dec 12th and Jan 12th. Logging the character in after January 12th will not grant the free Epic Heart. So if you have any level 20 characters be sure to log them in between Dec 12th and Jan 12th to get the free Epic Heart of Wood! Also if your character reaches level 20, but you don’t log in again until after Jan 12th, you’ll not receive the free Epic Heart. Make sure that after you reach level 20, you log the character in again between Dec 12th and Jan 12th to receive the free Epic Heart!

Thanks for being a VIP!

mmm wildstar should be open beta by then

I don't really see the point personally... you sign up for VIP for a month

You really dont see the point? Turbine gets folks to re-sub in december so they can be counted for end of year accounting. This wont be a regular 'perk', just a boost to vip numbers for annual accounting.

What happens when I ETR and all my favor, EDs, and some of my items go bye bye?

You're fucked!

I don't see the point of a player doing it, not Turbine.

I think Turbine will show to WB nice numbers: "Hey, look, in Year 2013 we had the Shadowfail expansion and SOOOOOO MUCH people re-suscribed, we are great".

I think there will some thousands resuscribing for a month.

Hmmmm, in that light the high CoV price with a promise to lower later is genius.

They announce a crazy price, then make an offer to get a hearts for way less. By contrast the "deal" sounds fantastic so many people take this great offer.

A month later, when they have their great subscription numbers reported for the year, they lower the price to something reasonable just like they promised, and everybody's happy (well, except maybe the people who now feel cheated because they bought the month of VIP and the grind dropped a month later).
