Everyone who bought the game has 30 days of free access and in addition we have also given extra bonus days for various reasons. Below is a comprehensive list of bonus days allocated to different groups of players:
All Open Beta accounts: 7 bonus days.
Standard Edition Head Start grace period: 7 days.
Collector’s Edition Head Start grace period: 14 days.
All full WAR accounts: 30 days.
At the moment, no subscription is needed to play WAR. In preparation for the start of subscription based game access, we will be opening our billing pages on October 8th. Here you will find all the options you need to choose the length and payment method that suits you. Prepaid cards will be arriving in shops from the 8th as well in support of this.
Following the end of the various free periods granted your account, some of you may receive an email stating that your subscription has ended. In order to continue playing, you’d then need to activate your live licence code on your account in order to activate the 30 free days. If already done successfully, you should not receive such an email. If you do, please contact our Billing Support.
If you haven’t secured a copy of WAR, you will find a comprehensive list of retailers and partners here. Should you have any general questions, please see our FAQ. It is updated regularly and should be the first place to look for information. If additional assistance is needed, our Customer Support teams are also ready to help when contacted via our Help Form .
These bonus days are cumulative so if you played during Open Beta (7 bonus days) and the Standard Edition Head Start (7 grace period days), you would need to validate your live code today in order to continue playing tomorrow. There is no disadvantage in setting up your subscription well before these days are over as your paid subscription will only start ticking once your bonus days are over.
