how long before upgrade takes effect?

They might be propagating permission changes only once every hour or every day.  I would try the next day if I were you, see if it works then. (For the record - I canceled my added services a few months ago, as a way to protest against the poor services provided by the web team regarding missing/incomplete features).

<p>If it is the next billing cycle, then I'm a bit upset as they just charged me 60 cents for the rest of this month.  I was expecting instantaneous - but um.. then I remembered that most of the other websites I belong to don't do things instantly either so I was expecting too much.</p><p> Still, I'll try again later and tomorrow.  If still nothing tomorrow, then I'll worry about it.</p><p>Thanks!</p>

I don't think it's the next billing cycle - I've upgraded in the middle of a billing cycle and had access to the info within minutes. They took EQ2players down on July 5, I believe, for maintenance...could be there's still a hamster missing from a wheel someplace. I'd try back the next day. If it doesn't work by then, I'd call SOE Customer Support about it. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
