Payment option for upgrading pre-purchase support packs

Sorry to the mods who think this thread is unnecessary, but I figured this merits some more attention. No hard feelings if it gets closed. :3

----

As of making this topic, there's less than 2 weeks until Open Beta finally hits. This means a lot of things to everyone, but it also means the beloved kiwis are becoming an endangered species in-game. To those who are not aware, the kiwi companion are a closed beta-exclusive item which means you'll never get to own one after Open Beta... ever! Kiwis are cute (and make for great bragging rights in the future where people will ask how you got one) and they need your help. Go get one now!

But wait, perhaps you can't afford even a kiwi pack before Open Beta arrives. Don't fret, guys; there's still one more option left! GGG has a great and reliable support team who are willing to help you out in this area, which is a payment plan to obtain a support pack over a course of time you determine where the final payment will give you the pack you wanted.

Thats right, so long as we're still in closed beta, you can still try and get those support packs well into open beta. All you need to do is contact support team about a payment plan during closed beta and make sure to carry it out during open beta! They offer a maximum payment plan of up to 6 months if you want to make small payments or over less time if you can afford it.

Don't have any support packs, but you're eying that diamond pack you really want, but can't afford before January 23? You can contact support to make a plan to pay $166.7 (rounded up) every month for the next 6 months (or more per month if you don't want to wait that long). Or maybe you got gold, but can't afford to upgrade to diamond this month. Don't worry, you can also contact support to pay $750 in a set amount of time. Those hard-to-get packs truly aren't out of your reach!

And if you decide that you cannot continue the payment plan any longer, or happen to flub a payment, support is willing to fully refund all payments you made up to that point!

So what are you waiting for? That window of opportunity is closing!

Not to sound repetitive or pushy or whatever, but is it possible for current kiwi+ pack owners to continue upgrading their pack past Open Beta? I'd really really *really* love to get diamond pack, but I'll never scrounge up the cash to get it before Open Beta.


It's possible to arrange a payment plan with Support - they should be able to help out.

If I provided any misinformation, it was an accident. Lemme know and I'll edit the appropriate parts in. :D

I have stickied this thread as I think it informs a lot of people who don't know about this option. Thanks Pizzarugi for creating it.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.

Are you sure about payment plans? I've never heard anything about this. But yes, the window for buying a pack is closing fast. :p

I wouldn't bring it up if it wasn't true, I like this game too much to be risking my standing here by trolling. :P

If it helps, I'm currently on a payment plan right now myself, obviously to upgrade to diamond. My payments start in February and for the next 5 months onwards, paying $125 a month ($125 x 6 = 750 when upgrading from gold to diamond).

Oh, how convenient! Once I upgrade to Silver I might contact support about going on payment plan for Gold. I wonder if they will support paysafe card payments for going on payment plan as well.
Thank you, this is very helpful.

Its important that you negotiate this plan BEFORE open beta hits, because thats how long this chance lasts!

That's very interesting.

I didn't mean to come across in a douche way. I was just curious myself. :)

Alright, thanks again.
That's an extremely useful bit of information, thank you.

I couldn't have even considered the upgrade to gold by OB but now I may just be able to.

I just wanted to say thanks for making this thread. I had heard such arrangements were possible, but didn't have such clear confirmation (I quoted this thread when emailing support, and they confirmed its accuracy). My girlfriend balked at the idea of me spending $1k on a f2p game, but this way I will be diamond by March without her even noticing :D
