complicatedwishes Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ah :) that explains a lot. Thanks again. Going to go to sleep now and hopefully I'll have premium when I wake up in the morning :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE. Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 How long does premium usually take to activate? Is it when they receive your money I'm guessing? Well for me it was a minute or two after I put my card details and stuff in.. maybe it's different for everyone? I don't know. But I am enjoying premium. I wasn't sure about it at first, as it's only a "game" but, I decided to give it a try because of the sale, it just a little over £3 for me for the first month, and a little over £5 for every month after that :P First week in, I wasn't liking it, but that was because I didn't use all the features. I'm now using them all, and I LOVE it! I'm very happy with it. I'm keeping it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the random events. And I'm sure you'd like claiming a scratchcard each week. I typically get about 4000 nps from that or more each week.

And the random events. And I'm sure you'd like claiming a scratchcard each week. I typically get about 4000 nps from that or more each week. Yes, I agree. The double NP on games isn't very rare at all, so even if you only play a few games, you'll use that feature! While just playing that Crowd Control sponser game, I got double NP twice of the five times I sent it. (That same day I got it once while playing Kookia, one more playing Ultimate Bullseye, once playing Meerca Chase... it's random, but I think I've only not had it happen at all during any day once. :) The more games you play the more it will happen, of course, but still. The random events and the scratchcard are both fab as well. In fact, I like the random events so much I've started playing Pyramids and Neggsweeper to their daily max NP amounts, and Dice-a-Roo until my pet gets bored. It's fab. :) When I got my Premium, I had expected to only use it for the SSW. But since I got it, I've started using the Charter boards a bit- the people on there are awesome. I've played more games because of the double NP and random events. I've become more active a user because of the perks. I will never use the 5th pet slot (unless I have to hold on to three extra pets for a reason sometime), but I'm okay with that. It's nice having it available just in case I change my mind. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninth Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I wish there was more to be honest. And I want Stealth back. One of the reasons why I got it. SSW came in handy for buying stamps and is great for pricing, and I like the 5th pet. I hope they add more perks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think if they add more perks they'll end up charging more. And since they did just re-vamp it, I don't expect anything new for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I just got it this week and so far I'm loving it! The SSW is awesome, honestly, and I get a lot of good random events. I like that extra game a day too, most of the days this week it's been a game I play anyway. I love kou jong, today's game! I just wish they were still giving out the Neomail Addict avvie automatically with Premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the whole reason I had tried out Premium before the revamp-- cancelled it before I had to pay, but I got to keep the avvie. Thank god!

Zombiiesque Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 My hubs had done the same thing, and he still has his as well. He'd been wanting to try out the new premium so that's how we ended up signing up - I do really like it, but I also hope they'll bring it back. I still haven't had any luck getting that one randomly!

Storme Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'd get premium, but I'm a cheapskate. Every time I think of having to spend all the precious moneyz I've saved up I'm all, "NOOOICAN'TDOIT!" ;A; It sounds awesome though. *slaps herself* You have more than enough money! Go buy it noaw! Voice in my head: nooooooooooooooo... Okay, that's it! I'm declaring WAR... on myself. o_O" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 You're now all making me want premium...which is bad and evil of you all as I have a pact with myself not to spend money on virtual items!! DOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleomiele Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I'm in the same boat as Storme and Secre. I very well COULD get premium, and I know I'd love the features. Honestly, the second main reason I want to get it is because some of the NC Mall ads make my games lag severely and the ads are EVERYWHERE now. I remember when I was a young'in, and there wasn't an ad to be seen on neo... *reminisces* BUT ANYWAY the first reason would definitely be the SSW. That sounds amazing for pricing your shop and of course sniping! It's just so hard to try and justify myself spending $8/month on a virtual game... *slaps herself* You have more than enough money! Go buy it noaw! Voice in my head: nooooooooooooooo... Okay, that's it! I'm declaring WAR... on myself. o_O" I am now having this same argument with myself :sad01_anim: ACTUALLY, for those of you that already have premium, what payment plans are you using? Annually, monthly, or every 4 months? If I were to get premium, I still wouldn't be sure if I should do it month-to-month or just assume I'll use it for a full year or what...

I started with monthly, and I have just switched to the four month one. Until I'm sure that I'll be playing full time for another year, I'm not getting the anual one. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I'm sure that I'll be playing full time for another year, I'm not getting the anual one. :) Yeah, it seemed a little risky to assume I would be active enough to make the most of premium for an entire year. I'll probably follow the same path as you. Thanks for your input! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I'm using it ALL the time now, and I have for a couple months, but prior to that, I hadn't been on Neo in a couple of years! So gettin the annual one was just too much of a risk. :) I hope you enjoy Premium! It is really awesome. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm in the same boat - I wouldn't dare get the year one, I've got monthly right now and will switch to the four month once this is up, but I've been known to go on hiatus pretty regularly from Neo, so I wouldn't be bothered to pay up for a year unless I was POSITIVE I'd be around all year.

lovedwallflower Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Congrats lovedwallflower, you are now a Neopets Premium member! omg omg omg omg :D I chose the 4 month plan :) I dont like the fact that it automatically takes money from your account once time is up, but I suppose you could always cancel manually.. Also, I just paid but don't have Premium yet. They said that You will also receive an email confirmation. but I have nothing so far :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 It took a little while before premium was activated for me. They need to verify your credit card first :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Oh, thanks karmacow! I suppose I'm really anxious to start playing now lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 understandable! :D I felt the same way in the time it took for them to activate mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 My only issue with paying for a full year is what if a cger gets me and my account is frozen for my protection. Then I'm paying for nothing! But I ended up paying for the full year anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I need to buy premium again after my other account being iced :( can't stand not having it now that I'd bought it and got used to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Has this happened to any of you? I bought premium on the 5th of August and they told me to wait for 24 hrs for an email. I got nothing - no email, no premium. No money was taken from my account either :S Now I used paypal, so I know the details of the card are correct. Should I just buy it again, or are they simply taking their sweet time about it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Maybe you should open a ticket about it? But then again they haven't taken the money from your account :mellow:. Still though, you don't want to pay for it and then suddenly be charged for it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
