Where do you claim the monthly 500SC?Follow
Looked everywhere, didn't see anywhere to claim it. Am I missing the obvious?

There was a button on the upper left corner, but clicking on it did nothing.Open the marketplace window. There should be a little box in the upper right hand corner for redeeming the grant. In DCUO, it tells you that you have a grant available and the date the next one will be available. I would think the same would apply for EQ (haven't logged in to EQ yet).

Why do they make you go in there and claim it? What was wrong with it being automatic. Even before all access you could log into any of those games and see your SC so its not like they had to change the way you claim it for cross game compatibility? Sounds like a way to cheat people out of it.
Hi
You're right. It's a penalty for people who don't log in. It's to prevent the situation where a person could go play, say, ESO for six months and come back to a windfall of SC. Granted, they paid for it (by maintaining a gold/All Access subscription) but it's a way to keep SC's relative value. If you miss a month, you gets no "free" SC.

My understanding when it all was going down had to do more with accounting than keeping SC values from inflating or some such -- because SC actually accrues on SOE's ledger, they end up showing they "owe" a credit. They were automatically granting a credit to us, which, I guess played hell with their taxes. I guess there's some esoteric tax law that if we "accept" the credit, it doesn't foul up their books.

Second – it helps us deal with some internal issues regarding accrual of balances of SC for people who aren’t playing or spending. There are a lot of people who play and have SC in their wallets and don’t spend it ever.. this accrues over time and it’s a problem. Before the jaded among you cry out that this is really the most important reason – please don’t judge just yet. It’s actually not but I don’t want to hide the fact that it’s a part of it.

Why would a person keep a gold membership for 6 months if they are not logging into Everquest? If you paying a subscription fee you earned the SC don't matter if your playing or not.

I have lifetime subscriptions in DCUO and Champions Online. I've logged in to both of those games maybe 8 times through all of 2013 (and I haven't logged into Champions at all this year). It's not uncommon for people to buy a package subscription (3, 6, 12 months) and not log in every single day/week/month. A friend of mine actually had his EQ account active for 15 months before he recognized the charge to his credit card every three months (which brought him back, for a short stretch). I've done that on a couple accounts and burned almost an entire year. It's not a case of, "I paid for it so I have to log in" just like I don't pay my cable bill and say, "I paid for all of these channels so I'd better watch all of these channels".
