herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=1078Here's where the HO LEE SHIT comes in: We hope you will accept this small token of our appreciation for your continued commitment to our games:
For starters all players will earn 100% bonus experience and renown when killing enemies and monsters for two weeks. As well, during this time we’ll be hard at work designing and implementing a special vendor. This vendor will only accept special tokens that will be sent to your mailbox, using these two tokens each of your characters will be able to receive two of the following items:
Bottomless Chaos Black Dye Bottomless Skull White Dye Imperial Griffon Mount (Order) Enslaved Manticore Mount (Destruction) WAR Tract – earn a free level Choose from any of these pets – Order: Imperial Hunting Hound or Dwarf Keg Handler; Destruction: Warlord’s Fell Hound or the Goblin Bar-Back. Change your appearance with any of these illusion items: Skaven Skin Cloak (skaven), Kossar’s Helm (bear), or the Signet of the Cursed Company (skeleton)I think I'll be taking the WAR Tract and either the Manticore mount or the Fell Hound you? edit.....hmmmm, unlimited black or white dye sounds veeeeery tempting.....fuck!

HOLY BUTTS!!! Maybe Zeli will finally hit 40 with that free level token? But seriously, that is...quite the gift to the players. I'm honestly shocked and will definitely be playing for some free exp Wait, this is for everyone, right?

Wait, this is for everyone, right? It says "all players" so I assume that pertains to the items as well as the experience bonus. But yeah, not 100% clear. What I want to know is if that Exp tract can be used as well as the one you can quest for. I think I might got grab one on my ironbreaker and get him closer to 40, but I may skip it for my lower toons that I'm playing now just because there's no guarantee I'll stick with them.

I'd like to grab the exp tract on my order chars and also bring them closer to 40...cause it's not likely I'll play them any time soon. Other than that, I think the Signet of the Cursed Company has my Zealot's name written all over it, as does the manticore. Except...the manticore actually has my bloody name carved into it.

If it says when this goes into effect, I missed it. Any ideas when this starts, or is it already started?

again, going on assumption from what I read, that the xp bonus should be in effect rather soon (if not already today) and the vendor will be implemented at the end of that time.
so....yeah...confirmed!

From Mythic:
So it appears that all players will get the bonuses, but not tokens.

From Mythic: So it appears that all players will get the bonuses, but not tokens. Hmmm. I don't think I was affected, although haven't gotten my latest credit card bill. I'm wondering if that is the wisest of PR moves. They just had a highly publicized error, while just an error, still led to lots of rumbling and negativity around an already struggling game. A game that apparently was just on the verge of seeing a bit of a resurgence. Seems like you would want to just spread some free love around in general. Or why not give everyone a chance to earn some tokens and give the peeps affected by the error the mounts? I'm not really complaining about it, just wondering if they wouldn't have come out better from a PR standpoint otherwise. Heck, just being able to earn those tokens may have brought some folks back to the game, even if just for a month or two. But everyone looks to get the bonus in xp, so they are spreading some of the love around. ;D

I think that's ok. Those folks had to deal with the extra crap with their credit cards, so they deserve the lovin'.

So, got my credit card statement today. 10 charges on there that were then refunded. I suppose when they said tokens would be mailed to those affected by the billing error, what they really meant was only those who had to pay bank fees. Either that or my tokens are the same place as my aegis...
