You have 29 days of play time starting 12.20.2011. You must sign up for a recurring subscription plan or redeem a Game Time Code before you can play. If you sign up for a recurring subscription, you will be billed automatically at the end of your current remaining play time.

Do I need to buy actual time before I can use my 29 free days?

Doubt it

hmm from what i heard they were giving everyone until the 22nd before they were actually gonna use ur 30 free days.. maybe my sources are wrong

Nope. But you will after it expires.

no. it's not like wow in this aspect

i cant setup my subscription due to that part of the account is like "greyed" out, i cant click it.

idk what the deal is, but i have a bad feeling that at some point ill need to sub, and it wont let me, and ill be SOL for like 2 weeks cause Customer service at bioware is absolute shit. (already time calling about it, Unlike most places, they dont put u in a queue that makes u wait an hour, it just says fuck u, and tell u to call back later.)

i had to add sub and remove it to claim my 29 free days , just add 1 month, and cancel it.

wont let me, that part of my account isnt available.

havent put in any sub info, a game card nothing. But i can play, so go figure.

Please note that there are 30 days free game time included with your purchase, but you will have to choose a subscription plan in order to finalize setting up your game account (you will not be billed until the 30 free days are up).

If you do not wish to subscribe after the 30 free days, you can simply cancel your subscription and you will not be billed on your renewal date.
