Premium Expiration Awareness

[bedub1]

Concise description:Today is 2/19/2009. My premium membership expires on 2/27/2009. I figured I would have received some sort of notification... I should be informed before it runs out.

• Put notifications on their pages
• Email them a friendly reminder?

Specifics:Maybe it should be other places too.

• Home page
• My Games Page

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• People will buy it
• They won't forget and run out

I had thought that you would be notified....Good suggestion, should be fairly simple to implement

I'm 100% behind this suggestion. There isn't really a reason to not remind people. Sure, they can realize it when their rank turns silver again, but that has the potential to cause problems. If they are looking to join tournament games, or participate in a clan challenge and all of the sudden cannot join new games, it could be difficult. Providing people with a 2 week or 1 month warning would let those who need to plan ahead have a chance to keep their games running smoothly without having to wait for their next paycheck, etc.

Sure, some of us can just renew at the drop of a hat, but there are plenty of folks around here who can't.

I like to see this suggestion. Even when I am not prem XD. But I don't see why not and it would be really handy for the guys who have it. It aint seems to hard to make either.

This is a great idea. And as nooblet says it should be easy to add.

I'm pretty sure it reminds you a day or two before hand because I just went through this last month.

A day or two might be too late...as we keep getting reminded "real life does crop up". I would also point out that if this were to hit someone who might be in several tournaments, it would adversely affect not ONLY that person, but also ALL of their opponents as the games would be delayed waiting and then delayed some more to find replacements.

i just take the lid off of mine and sniff it every few weeks to see if it is still fresh...-0

[The Fuzzy Pengui]

I like this idea

[owenshooter]

well, all you have to do is click on Premium Membership in the left hand menu, and your expiration date is clearly stated... for instance, mine says:

Your Premium Membership is valid until 2009-07-21 17:44:18

and i do believe it notifies you a few days before, i have received that in the past. perhaps you have your box set to not receive that type of pm from admins...-0

[Bruceswar]

I just went through this. It does email you to let you know. With that said more reminders would not be a bad thing.

Just got this email today, 4 days before it expires. I think it should have been sooner....but there is something to be said for too many messages just pissing people off...So we need to find the sweet middle spot...

But when it does run out, why can't you just buy premium again? I'm confused about how more warnings would help this. Running out of premium shouldn't matter until you need to join new games, and when you do you can simply renew the membership.

Perhaps the warning could be 1 week before instead of 4 days before. But I would like to receive 1 warning maximum. This information is always available under your premium membership link, and its simple to renew at any time. I think a single warning is more than sufficient.

Yes too many warning will just bug me....but once it starts getting close maybe put a banner on the "join a game" and "start a game" pages.....

Absolutely, a way needs to be figured out to keep it from being annoying. But while I'm able to pretty much just load another $25 on whenever I need to, not everyone can do that. Some folks (particularly young folks) might need to save up a bit for it, and that wouldn't be much time...meanwhile, their tourney games are hosed.

There's a warning afterwords, but just a PM a few days before, would be nice. Some of us live on a specific budget, and although $25 isn't a large amount, some of us like to keep everything on record, and quickly spending $25 out of nowhere would be annoying if you don't see it coming.

I take it this means you're not leaving this site completely now? Glad to hear it. Why the change of heart?
