Crowdforger Guild Pledge Level - Unallocated buddies

[echilda]

Hey,

Does anyone know what will happen to unallocated buddies after June 30 when the pledge manager closes? Some of my friends are dragging their heels on getting their accounts set up!

As I understand it, you can save any number of your Guild Buddy Accounts as long as you want. Even several years into Open Enrollment, if you still had one that hadn't been used yet, you would be able to give it to a new friend at that time and they'd be able to accept it.

That's good news if it's the case!

Is there anything official on that somewhere?

Oh, I though this was going to be a thread for selling off extras. It would be nice to add buddy accounts to a pledge that was above the 100$ level. Some people may have wanted an extra account or two above their Buddy or Guild pledge, and those who pledged at other high amounts like alpha access didn't have the option for more EE accounts at all.

This is in the context of the Shieldmate Mark, but I believe it applies to Guild and Buddy accounts as well.

You can wait forever to make an invitation

[Edit] I would also point out that I've made this assertion - that you can wait forever to finalize your Guild or Buddy invitations - a number of times in a number of different threads. And while I understand Ryan and the other "official" posters probably can't read every thread, I still expect I'd have been corrected by now if I were wrong.

You can wait forever. You paid for 'em, we're not going to take them away arbitrarily.

Thanks, Ryan. It's always more reassuring to hear it from an official source.

Good news!

Thanks Ryan and Nihimon!
