Same here, Mandy, was part of both the betas, early start and had the lifetime sub from the get go and I'm at 199 as of today...so I don't know how they figure things out hahaha

Ditto; I pre-ordered from D2d on 7th January, was in closed beta and head start, and I'm on 181 days, apparently. That puts my subscription date on the 2nd of February, which *is* the day the game released. So if they're counting before the official release date, then since I was in closed and open betas and headstart, I should have more days. If not, I don't understand how anyone has more than 181 days. :-S

I believe it is the day you bought your lifetime sub or a day the picked (if you had a lifete sub) sometime before HS or launch.

This is another flop on Cryptic's part :(

I've been at 200 days for quite sometime, but just got the perks. My counter is from when I was invited back in closed beta.

Weird. Maybe that counter has nothing to do with when you actually get the perks. Anything on the message boards about this?

Ya, dstahl said the soonest someone could qualify would be yesterday, Aug 1st

From what I've read on the boards, it sounds like it starts counting from when you first purchased a subscription. When you actually started playing, be it closed beta or when the game launched, doesn't matter.

So basically, like all things with Cryptic, it's when you started giving them money. :P

I called Cryptic and it is really very simple. They take you day you subscribed and add the numbers of days that have past from then to today. They then deduct the days the server was down or the game was unavailable. Then they add the number of bugs, minus the number maintenance windows to fix the bugs, plus the number of forum posts from irate customers about all the problems (duplicate forum posts don't count extra and forum posts in all caps equals a double deduction of days because shouting is always rude). Finally, they deduct the number of positive posts about the performance of the game (always a number less than 1) take your birthday, convert it to a hexadecimal and subtract your zip code. And that provides the number of days until your veteran's day award.

See, simple. :laugh:

Actually, I just did the math. It's counting from when I bought my lifetime. I bet it is for you too. I guess if you don't have a lifetime, it counts from launch date?
