Interesting that this hasn't made it to the forums yet (if it has, I haven't seen it, and apologize). Spend that SC this weekend if you have it.

I am posting this in this thread as well per a suggestion from SOE's support staff. He linked it for me to do so. I am not spamming the forums to be heard. I am just doing what I was told.
I have been a loyal Gold member of Everquest 2 since launch. Prior to that I had been a loyal Gold member of EQ1 for almost 3 years. During that time, I spent 2-3 years as an All Access member paying $29.99 a month. Until recently, we had always paid for our accounts via a monthly credit card transaction. I say "we" reffering to me and my wife. A couple of years back, my wife and I happened upon some financial hardships surrounding an illness and eventual death of a family member. My wife made the sacrifice and let her account lapse to save the monthly fees. She would not hear of me doing the same, since I truly enjoyed the game so much more. When you allowed players to start paying via SC, it was a blessing for us. We were able to take advantage of the SC sales from time to time, while removing the worry of adding to our credit card balance every month. Honestly, things were THAT tight. So paying for a years subscription via SC was a godsend, and for that we thank you. However, with the recent fiasco involving pulling the non-recurring subscription off of the marketplace with NO warning (I pay close attention to things like this in the forums), I must say I am appauled at what I logged in to see today! Smed posted that he would have the non-recurring memberships put back up for a week so folks could use the SC they had saved strictly for the purpose of purchasing one year subscriptions, including me and my wife. So, last night I did what I thought was the right thing to do and on day 7, I purchased 2 one year non-recurring memberships for my wife and I in anticipation of this feature being pulled. What do you folks do after telling everyone to make sure ya do it in a week....? You put it on sale for 50% off on day 8! I am sickened that almost $120 of our SC has just been wasted merely a few hours prior, on YOUR ADVICE! I know the policy on no returns or refunds, but how can your company honestly say this was a fair manuver? At this point, I feel betrayed and lied too. I am not a sucker for SOE to lure into deminishing my stockpile of SC that we hoarded and saved to spend on the items that we so much wanted to spend them on. This is WRONG and should have been announced!!! Please see what can be done to recitify this and make amends to the honest, hard working families that have been so loyal to your company for so many years. Sincerely, Sloke Silverwind...AKA a real life person named Bradley.
