Bought game after playing FTP: No benefits?

We should write up a post on this for players who aren't used to the difference between an MMO and a traditional single player game, since I see this come up periodically.

I wrote an article on F2P 8 months ago, could maybe do with a few points updating: http://www.defiancedata.com/page.php?id=194

I wonder if the confusion with regard to Arkforge comes from which version of the game people are buying? I am/was F2P on the PS3 and bought the ultimate edition in October. It did come with 1000 Arkforge but I'm pretty sure that was due to the fact that the ultimate edition included the season pass and the Arkforge was a feature of DLC5. As for the "Old School" title, I'd have to check my toon to make sure but I don't think I received it.

Hi Everyone

We double checked the entitlements just now for all platforms:

• Players who enter the in-box should receive 1000 Arkforge.
• Players who enter the in-box code do not receive the Old School title.

If you did not recieve your arkforge, please PM me. Please also make sure your accounts are linked.

And, to be clear, codes are platform specific. A code from a PC box will not grant you the benefits on consoles. This is one of the most typical confusion points.
