Greets folks!
Over the past few months we have been working furiously to provide all
of our players with new ways to improve your characters. From login
lessons, lesson packages, double XP days, and artifact packages, we have
been working hard to find new ways to enhance your character experience
and personal enjoyment from our games.
Continuing this trend, we have decided to release another way for you to
quickly earn credits and lessons as inexpensively as possible. For the
next 30 days we will be experimenting with Iron Elite Memberships. These
memberships are by far, the absolute best way to get lessons and credits
at the lowest prices. This is substantially better than normal credit
prices and the fabled lesson packages.
Be sure to read HELP ELITE for all the details, but in short ALL your
characters can earn daily lessons, monthly credits, XP bonuses, a
permanent 10% sale bonus (cumulative with any other sale bonus we run),
and more. These elite memberships are an insane (and I do mean insane)
deal. Check out HELP ELITE for details on exactly what you will get.
Hopefully combined with our lesson and artifact packages, this will help
those of you that are a little short on cash in these tough times, but
are dying to advance faster on your characters.
One more thing, as this is something we have never done before, we may
or may not continue selling these memberships after the end of June.
However, we will continue to honor the membership for as long as anyone
is a member, even if we decide not to bring the program back after this
trial period.
If you have any questions feel free to email me at
jeremy@ironrealms.com.
Thanks!

19.4.5 IRON ELITE MEMBERSHIPS
Iron Elite Memberships
Elite Memberships are an extremely good, cost-effective way for you to
improve multiple characters. The value far exceeds our normal credit
and lesson packages, especially when coupled with those packages.
Members will receive:
DAILY LESSONS
Every character registered to your email address, will earn 5 lessons,
everyday, upon login. You will earn these lessons the instant you
login. This will net you 150 lessons per month which is about 25
credits. If you have 10 characters, that is the equivalent of 250
credits per month in lessons.
BOUND CREDITS
Your account will earn 100 bound credits every month. These credits
can be distributed across your characters with the command CREDITS
MEMBERSHIP TRANSFER. In addition, you will accumulate 5 more
credits every month you are on the membership. For example, after 5
months you will get 125 bound credits added to your account. This will
top out at an additional 50 bound credits per month, totaling 150
bound credits.
DINGBATS!
The character you register with the membership will receive 20 dingbats
per month. You can, of course, transfer these dingbats to other characters.
PERMANENT CREDIT BONUS
You will have a permanent 10% bonus to all credit purchases while on
the membership. In other words, members will have a permanent sale
running. This bonus will stack with any other sale we run.
EXPERIENCE BONUS
We expect most elite members will be established players that have
already enjoyed leveling their characters. As such, we are offering an
experience bonus to all members. This is a monthly, 5% cumulative
bonus (up to 25%). For example, for the first month you will enjoy a
5% XP bonus. For the second month you will have a 10% XP bonus. In
month five you will have a 25% bonus. Of course, this bonus will stack
with any other bonuses you enjoy.
Important:
Elite Memberships have a monthly recurring payment. In order to sign
up for the program you will have to agree to monthly payments via
PayPal. You can do so by visiting
http://www.lusternia.com/credits.php?page=elite.
Cancelling your membership:
You can cancel you membership at anytime by logging into PayPal and
cancelling the membership. If you are having trouble with that, feel
free to email jeremy@ironrealms.com for assistance.
Seconds Abuse:
Remember that we track characters if they are logged in at the same
time from the same registration. So if you plan on switching all your
friends to the same email addy, you will effectively be limiting them
to never being able to play at the same time. Additionally, you will
never be able to move them off the same registrations, which will give
them the ability to change the registration info and effectively steal
all your characters. Not to mention we will permanently block the
accounts and characters of people found to be cheating.
In short, do not try to abuse this, we will find out pretty quickly.

Yep! Was worth it to me to cancel one WoW account and an Aion account I wasn't really playing for this. 
Will be very helpful for my alts especially!

Thank you,

While I like the idea, $25 a month seems a little high. They should have an option that is like half as good for $13 a month, so that it's on par with other MMO games. I think that would get a lot more people on board!
ongaku2010-05-26 00:17:11
Possibly, but this is for all my Lusternian characters. Which is a lot. XD
Out of curiosity, does this count for all characters across all IRE games, or does each subscription limited to one of the games? Not that I play any of them anymore. I don't think I'd even bother picking them back up honestly.

25.00 a month is a good deal for everything offered. I will certainly be signing up for it.
Aramel2010-05-26 00:18:22
I am sad because of not having a credit card/paypal.
*has never been able to buy credits or anything ever*

A part of me is all, "Monthly fees! ACK! BOO!" But then another part of me reminds me that it's optional. You can still play without it. Then there's a third part who dances with glee because I'll have my car paid off in two months and I think I might just be able to swing this for two months until then (and after then, too, obviously).
So, that's a
vote of two to one. I officially approve!

There needs to be either an ELITE emote or a TELEPORT ELITE skill that lets you go to a special room that smells like mountain dew and asian food where you can hang out with the uber-nerds.
(Totally serious, except about the asian food and mountain dew part.)

15 months for a discount cubix, woot.
I've seriously been wanting a subscription option for more than half a decade now, nice to see it finally exists.

If I were to sign up for this in say the middle of the month, would I lose the first 14 or so days of credits/lessons or would I automatically get them ?

I support this as well, but can we change "Mountain Dew" to "Vanilla Coke?"

And an honours line!
He did rain money down upon IRE.
or a separate status line.
He is Elite, Yeehaw.

Only if there can Vanilla Diet Coke too!

Having done the math (sloppily, but well enough to suffice), these memberships will end up being at least twice as efficient as buying a non-sale 2,000-credit package, especially after you reach 150 credits per month. That's not including the permanent 10% discount and maximum 25% experience bonus. Even if all of your characters are omnitrans, it's still easily worthwhile for the credits and dingbats alone.
It's like... it's like a perpetual 50% off credit sale.
THIS IS AWESOME!
