Still waiting for you to explain the difference between paying for time that expires with a prepaid card and paying for time that expires with a credit card.
Oh... there isn't any?
You mean aside from the fact that the difference is explained in Blizzard's definition of an active account? Oh I'm sorry, did I just blow your argument away with simple logic? My bad.
Circular argument ftl. Your premise supposes your conclusion to be true. If that is your idea of simple logic, you must have failed it in school.
Quazi's idea of "simple logic": "Canceled accounts are considered canceled at the time they press the cancel button. How do I know this? Because they would be considered active if they weren't. Why aren't they considered active? Because they are considered canceled at the time they press the cancel button!"

"World of Warcraft subscribers include individuals who have paid ..... to play World of Warcraft.....
Logic, indeed.

http://aworldofwarkraft.com/mmo-news/want-to-get-into-the-cataclysm-beta-cancel-your-subscription/
The content of the blog is unimportant. But what do we have here? Some "simple logic".
1. To access the cataclysm beta, you had to have an active WoW account.
2. Buddy's brother was invited to, and accessed, the cataclysm beta on an account that was pending expiration.
therefore...
3. Bro's account was considered active by Blizzard despite having had its recurring billing canceled.
Blizzard posted:
Q: Who is eligible for the Cataclysm Beta opt-in?
A: Any player who has an active World of Warcraft subscription, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, and World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is eligible. The account must be active when the beta starts in order to be eligible to receive an invitation.

Here's a quote from Blizzard that may shed some light on the subject.
"Typically, World of Warcraft subscribers purchase one to three month memberships that are cancelable, without penalty, at the end of the membership period."
Unless they're lying to the SEC they count you right up until your time runs out. Your account is only truly canceled at the end of the membership period. Seems pretty straightforward.
Besides why on earth would they want to under report their sub numbers? Talk about faulty logic.

I get this when I try to post on the WoW forums:
Blizzard posted:
This game license has expired or been cancelled.
How about you, Gutter... able to post there? Or, in other words, is your account (which you have stopped payment on) NOT considered expired or canceled?
If you can post on Blizzard's forums with a pending cancellation account, that proves Blizzard does not consider an account "expired or cancelled" until the time runs out.
Yes, proof.

Cake.
Yes, a "pending cancellation" account can post there...it is the only type of "account" I have ever had.

I honestly think he is trolling. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if both Quasi and Gutter were arguing back and forth with each other just for the fun of it.

I tend to look at it like this: Your account, whenever you 'cancelled' it, remains active until the next day of your recurring payments comes along. At that moment, a flag goes up that says 'Recurring payments stopped? Y/N'. The system looks at your account, tells another system yes, and bingo, your account is now frozen.
Another way of saying that is: imo, cancelled subscriptions don't count as cancelled until the game time you paid for(hence, paid subscription) runs out.

It's so sad that I'm the only one with basic reading comprehension in this thread. So sad...
