Nope.
It specifically stated that they may need to reset characters, and it specifically stated that there would be a full credit of the contents of the Merc Pack on each reset and at commercial release.
You're close though. |

Source? Dev/GM/CCP PR guy/CCP lawyer confirmation that this wasn't the intent behind their poor choice of wording?
Because it's entirely possible this was exactly what CCP intended, but that the way it was written didn't convey that intent at all. I'm hoping that wasn't the case, or if it was, I'm hoping whoever they hired to write the product description no longer works for the company, or at least has no important responsibilities any more.
But regardless of intent, that is definitely not how the description was worded, so realistically, the motivation behind the description doesn't matter. What's important is what was promised to the customer at the time of purchase. |

What's important is what was promised to the customer at the time of purchase. On the old Merc pack screens and on several occasion CCP said AUR would be refunded upon commercial release. Here is a link to a screen shot of the screen. http://www.dust411.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/MercPackTerms.jpg
I was asking for a source that confirmed the INTENT behind the wording. Since that was what both parties in my quote were claiming to know. But thanks anyway. While not actually what I was asking for, your link is helpful and useful for other aspects of the discussion. |

But thanks anyway. While not actually what I was asking for, your link is helpful and useful for other aspects of the discussion. I believe the wording on the screen shot is cut and dry on CCP's intent. At the time of selling the product they where intent on refunding AUR at every reset and also upon commercial release of the game. I don't beleive a game can be in both open beta and commercial release at the same time, nor have I EVER seen a company that is confused as to whether or not their game has been released. My question is has CCP come out with a statement explaining that AUR is not going to be refunded? Or are people whining on the forums because of a feeling that CCP isn't going to honor their original agreement?
The wording specifically says "each character reset AND for commercial release" - that distinctly separates commercial release from the requirement to be another reset.
The intent behind that wording may have been to guarantee early adopters some form of extra perk in exchange for their loyalty, or it may have been due to their original intent being a reset on commercial release.
Until there's an official statement from CCP, we don't know which of those scenarios is the correct one. |
