I have the premium membership but does it automatically renew each month? Or do I have to buy again when it expires?

Does the Premium Membership renew automatically each month or do we have to buy another premium membership package when our month runs out?

[PhyXios]

You have to buy it everytime. The options are 1 month, 3 months and a year.

[ryrich]

You must purchase it again each time. Or try a longer membership duration.

[Gamerchick]

So I am looking at the one month package and that would cost me 50$ since they have made it an odd number for Ncoin.  I guess I lose all my benefits once it runs out and my rank goes inactive till I purchase another month.  Sigh.. 50 dollars a month is pretty expensive just to keep the benefits.  I can see paying 20 dollars a month but not 50 dollars a month.  Do they not have an option to just purchase at a lower cost at all??

[Enamour]

Uh where are you getting $50? It's $15 for 1 month. o.o

[PhyXios]

You don't spend the 50$ for a month. You keep the Ncoins you haven't spent. I personally bought the 50$ ncoin package and I bought the 3 months worth membership. I had about 1300 Ncoin left.

[ryrich]

Yeah, isn't premium 30 day like 900 something NCoin? You can buy 1600 NCoin for $20

[Gamerchick]

Ohhh nevermind I was looking at the wrong tab with the duelist package.  I clicked on the tab that shows you can renew for 20. dollars for the 30 days at 959 Ncoin.  /facepalm  LOL

Regardless it means you have to spend more than the actual sub amount every month in order to subscribe. Which... well, that's pretty sleazy.

[Gamerchick]

It is frustrating that I can't just have an automatic renew on the subscription and you have to buy the Ncoin each month, more than you need for the actual renewal.  In addition they put a restriction on your purchasing ability.  For example I spent a lot of money going hog wild (LOL) getting outfits and training expansion tickets, but then I was restricted from purchasing anymore.  I don't understand the logic of restricting people from spending money with them.  Is this a guard against people like me who tend to be compulsive spenders?  Or is it a Fraud prevention thing?

It's not a subscription, it's a bundle of conveniences bought from a cash shop that offers other convenience and cosmetic items. 

 

People are used to games that have gone from p2p to hybrid f2p offering an optional subscription that offers you "everything you need" in order to entice current players to keep subscribing. 

 

This game launched in the West as f2p and is centered solely around the Hongmoon store for revenue. It's not set up under the assumption that people will "just need to buy Premium".

More this than protecting you from compulsive spending I would guess.

i want to take off the auto pay but when i was on the management page all it said was to cancel the subscription. i just bought it so if i cancel it will the month still count since its non-refundable?

If you cancel it now, you won't be auto-buying it every month. Your current premium stays until it expires.
