RIFT gametime handling on purchase

[ciausien]

Hello, dear community!

I've very much enjoyed the 1 month with RIFT I've got

from the raptr promo, basically getting me the game and

the collector's edition upgrade. (thus 1 month

playtime)
As I would like to buy some new playtime soon I'm

asking myself if I should wait and see if RIFT gets

discounted on the Steam Summer Sale, as the Steam

version includes a 1 months subscription according to

it's description.
But what confuses me is that the Notice there says that

the subscription will only be included for new

accounts. So I would like to know if buying the game on

Steam will be equal to buying a 1 month game card, with

the bonus of having the game on Steam, or if the game

time will just vanish for my account and the only thing

I get is the steam-bound client version?

In hope that someone can answer that.Thanks.

Most likely if you bought another copy from Steam that would be an entirely separate account.

So I'd just buy game time from the Trion website directly, it's always been the cheapest method, especially if you buy in bulk.

I bought Rift right when it cme out from Trion. But earlier this year I bought it on Steam for $5. While true it does give you a seperate cd key to use. You can install it and use your old account info to log into it from Steam if you wish. That's what i did. I basically bought a new game cd key so I could play and download it through Steam. But if you want a 1 month free you would have to use the new cd key to start a new account. Also for Op Steam has already had their Summer Sale this year. It ended July 22nd I believe.
