Wisdom of the Ages

The new subscription loyalty program, Wisdom of the Ages, is now live. This is a long term reward system for players who keep their subscriptions active concurrently and log in at least once every month they are billed. It is available to those who maintain a basic subscription or higher. You will gain +2 maximum field experience pool size for every continuous login month. If you maintain a Premium subscription, you will gain +0.1 base experience absorbed per pulse for every continuous login month. Fraction results have a chance to round up. For example after 8 months, it's 0.8 and would have an 80% chance to round up to +1. The maximum benefit would be gained after 10 years. The account has to bill every month concurrently and you have to log into the character at least once per month. If your billing lapses or you don't log in, the streak progress will be lost and rewards will reset to the entry level amount. Like Daily Login Rewards, this is tracked at the character level, so you must log in each character each month you wish to maintain the bonus active on. Starting on the second month when a bonus starts, you may view your current bonus with the `EXPERIENCE` verb.




I guess as long as you log in at least once a month on an active account you should start seeing this experience bonus. It went live right at the start of this year, so if you log in this month and next month you should start seeing a bonus listed under your EXPERIENCE verb.

Pretty nifty change. I’m surprised it’s free.

Imagine being at like 9 years and you lapse one month because of whatever reason and it resets completely.

Oh yeah you're right; rereading the announcement that sounds like exactly what would happen.

You would at least think there would be checkpoints of sorts, like every 2 years you can't lose those rewards. So if you lose your streak at year 5, you just go back to year 4 bonuses and start again. I get the whole point is to encourage people to play and pay every month, but damn, 10 years is quite the commitment without ever expecting someone to cancel their sub for a month or two or get sick or go on vacation and can't log in for a month.

"Sorry, grandma, I know you're dying, but let me log into GS real quick to make sure I don't lose my 6 year streak."

[Anebriated]

I know I was lazy and let one of my accounts lapse when they switched billing systems. Every 1 year active should buy 1 month of grace period.

"For the low low price of only $4800* paid out over 10 years, you can get +12 exp absorbed per pulse and add 240 exp to your bucket! Better fucking hope no strange charges show up on your CC causing you to have to cancel your card and have a new one issued the day before we bill you because we'll tell you to get fucked!" -Simu


Or you could just kill like 1 extra mob.

[Parkbandit]

I still can't believe people play this game, let alone PAY every single month for it.

I read it wrong and was thinking +120 xp a pulse, which is neat, but yeah, way worse than I thought.

They should just make a daily login that does essentially this but hits max rewards at the end of the month and then resets.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

They should do nothing and figure out more pay to win schemes.

If someone really needs an extra +12 exp per pulse and 240 bucket exp after 10 years of grinding, then they're a fucking idiot, especially if they think it's going to make any sort of noticeable difference.
