Gift subscription question

If I buy a gift subscription for a friend do they still get the bonus credits when the game comes out of beta? Does the person who buys the subscription get them? Anybody know?

  • I'm guessing here, but since one can upgrade a less-than-moly gift sub, I'd guess it's much easier to just give all the bonus credits to the recipient rather than divide them between gifted and not gifted, etc.

  • I am fairly certain they go the giftee, not the gifter. I purchased a few gift subscriptions and I believe I only got the bonus for my own sub last go around. This is really as it should be - the gift should include all of the benifits of a regualr subscription.

  • It was my understanding that when the game goes live, we get bonus credits at that time equal to the amount we purchase during beta. I just want to make sure that it also applies to gift subscriptions as well.

  • The subscription page states that any credits a player receives as part of a subscription will be doubled at launch - so all the people you've bought subs for will receive the credit bonus on their own subscriptions.   www.glitch.com/subscribe/

    The offer of "all credit purchases" being doubled refers to retail credit packages, as opposed to a subscription.  https://www.glitch.com/credits/

  • Its been almost a year since Launch 1.   Wonder when re-launch will happen?

  • Other people already said it, but to be sure: the subscriber gets the doubled credits, even if the subscription was the result of a gift.

    I read a while ago that wasn't true.  Stoot, if you're here still, could you please confirm this?

  • I'm thrilled to know my gift subs will give a gift again on re-launch!
    That's super cool :)

    diaveborn, both links still have the information up about doubling credits, and they're worded differently, so I would hope that both types will double as stated: a.yfrog.com/img877/2061/kta...

  • Hmm, thanks xombiekitty :)  Still confusing, but slightly promising, hehe :)

    (I think TS needs to hire a copy editor.)

  • Stoot (pretty sure it was stoot) did say in another thread some time ago that the doubling goes for both credit packages and credits earned through a subscription.

    I'd find the link (I tried) but the search function is being dumb and buggy. I know it's never been the best, but it's ridiculous at the moment. Sorry!

  • Aw no sorries needed!  Thanks for trying :)

    I did some googling but haven't been able to find anything that way either.

  • I found these :)

    Soupie: www.glitch.com/forum/genera...

    Thanks to Soupie's post I found the email and the fourth paragraph is the one they quoted about both types of credits: a.yfrog.com/img611/826/k7nc...

    :)

  • Yay!! :D Thxu :D

  • Credits purchased a la carte: doubled.

    Credits received as part of a subscription stipend: doubled.

    If it is still confusing, I'm not sure how else to explain!

  • That wasn't very clear at all, stoot. *shakes head*

    Maybe I should bookmark that post for use in a few weeks when the question is asked again, in case the forum search is being dumb again.
