Question regarding the Flash Speeder and Yacht


I copied the below quote from the update note from my launchPad.



  • For those members of our community who purchased the pre-order JTL, your Flash Speeder will be available next week on October 27th (Please note that you must have purchased JTL and input your key code)

  • For those members of our community who have earned the Sorosuub 3000 Luxury Yacht, this will also be available next week on October 27th (Please note that you must have purchased JTL and input your key code)

  • Ok i know SOE hate us europeans so we're not getting the flash speeder. but my question is after reading the above. is it saying that the Speeder and Yacht will ONLY be available to people who install and register on the 27th? or should it read "Available from October 27th"?


    As i've been playing this game for 7months and want the Yacht. i've ordered my copy of JTL from play.com who still says release is the 29th. so i guess i'll be getting it on the following monday, which would mean i miss getting my yacht.


    Is this how it reads to anyone else or am i reading it wrong?????

    Technically thats not true either.



    I've been inactive for 4 months. Signed into JTL after 2 months being back and still got my reward in the beta.



    I'm sure they will give me the reward in live if they give it to me in beta. I have although been a subscriber since Day 1. so I will get veteran rewards from the 360 category as well if they make any. I've been playing this game alot and for many months. I just had a brief period that I stopped playing because I moved. Once I came back I had everything I left with and still got this new veteran reward. So I would say take it easy...SOE really isn't out to screw anyone and this time they are doing it right by us veterans.

    Oh, ok. Phew. I checked my billing records. The only month I missed last year was February. I had them automatically bill my credit card. After 3 months of not logging in, they finally deactivated it in Feb. I logged back on in early March. Either way, I'm beyond my 6 months. Thanks everyone!

    Why wouldn't I get it in live? Why tease someone in beta by giving them a veteran reward only to yank it away in live? sounds kinda hokey.


    I'm going to assume that SOE wouldn't issue it unless they knew you were going to qualify. I qualified in beta for a 360 day reward too. they just didn't have anything listed under 360 days. I've been a veteran player for a long time. If they are going to make people like me angry they are going to lose a TON of players. I'm the kind of guy who can put up with alot. I've been around for many revamps and bug fixes that caused even more bugs. I've been playing since original Beta. When it was so horribly broken it was laughable. So no.....I don't think SOE would stick me with a penalty for being away for 4 months after over a year of online time.

    So you're only playing this game in order to get the yacht and the speeder?


    Anyway.. of course it's available FROM the 27th

    everyone gets the yacht eventually once they gather the months. starting from oct. 27 the veteran players can retrive it

    the speeder will also become availible to those who have both keys registered

    They mean that it'll be available from then on. Once you hit your veteran mark, boom. You'll get a message or something. Don't worry guys, unless they unsubscribe, nobody will be jipped out of a luxury yacht.

    it means it will be avaible starting on the 27th, not avaible only on the 27th. wouldnt make sence for them to give the reward only on one date when 1) not everyone will buy JTL on the same day and 2) the yacht is a 6 month reward grant. So if you come into the 27th with 5 month of playing SWG under your belt and then next month Nov 27th your at 6 months, the yahct will be generated for you and you can retrieve it. Your just reading it a little bit too literally thats all.

    I've got a related question. What are the requirements for earning veteran status? Do they go by purchase date or account activity? I bought my 1st account early Oct last year. The account went inactive for 1 month due to my not signing in for some period of time. Does that mean I have to wait another month to collect my yacht?

    The Yacht is granted for 6 months of basically keeping your SWG account paid, not by if you logged in or not. Paying your account makes your account active, if its closed for non-paymement or your gamecard runs out, then ist inactive. Now, SOE gives a grace period of 2 weeks i believe for you to reactive your account to qualify for the flashspeeder. Think of it like a 2 week grace period to keep your status of months consecutive. So if you've been paying your SWG account for the past 6 months up to t he point you first install JTL, you get the ship, if not, you have to wait till you have 6 months banked to qualify. If you go inactive for more than 2 weeks t hen your disqualified.
