Thread: Bad experience buying subscription

  1. #11

    Default

    Welcome to Funcom! For newcomers this really is a cool game. Not so much for Veterans though since content is released at a glacial pace. BUt still plenty to do for a new fellow.

    As far as account based stuff, you just have to get pass Funcom customer service first. Funcom has NEVER been fully clear, in English anyway, on how to buy stuff, pay for stuff, find stuff to buy, and even then it isn't always fully clear what you are getting.
    It's a repeat theme with Funcom customers about complaints in payment and account troubles. I've been doped a few times myself by Funcom. That will never happen again unless I bump my head really hard and go stupid, or more stupid than I already am.

    Maybe someone should write a guide that can be stickied?

    Wait what the heck ? I'm (or was) pretty sure all class are f2p and that you can play a mage without being subscribed.

    Also, you can change everything during your character customization, and can make a Stygian very whitish if you want (even if that sounds silly to me, but why not)

    Fun fact : Not actually the same guy as the player named "Jaedelyia" in-game. Never though I would one day encounter a guy with the same nickname as this one.

    UPDATE: Seems they have updated the f2p terms: http://www.ageofconan.com/playfree

    Demo is a Mage, so you can indeed play the mage for nothing. I suspect they have opened this up even more, but I don't really pay attention to the f2p terms. That might need updating and made sticky.

    As for Khitai, it's one time purchase plus a sub to keep accessing it - including AA, etc. Turan is one time purchase, but can play subbed or unsubbed (Think that's right yeah?). Dragon Spine I can't remember - was that a free update or purchase?

    As for payment, never had an issue, but as noted, pay for one thing, then delete the payment method if you're really concerned. You can always re-add it next time you need to pay for something.

    Dragon Spine is for subscribers only, you dont have to buy it, just being subscribed is enough.

    Regarding F2P system, all classes are available now.

    lol, where to begin with the OP. It's like you consider online transactions as some kind of witch craft. Get used to it, it's the way everything is going.

    If any reputable company started taking money from their customers accounts that they were not supposed to take their reputation and business would be in tatters. So stop worrying about direct debits.

    Well considering he hasn't posted since that first OP, he obviously doesn't care. :/
