User blog comment:Starrocks923/LEGO Minifigures Online Buy-to-Play Conversion/@comment-26029862-20150519172718

I wouldn't get too excited regarding refunds. I just received the below from Funcom in response to my request. Only the GM's name has been omitted.

"Greetings again,

Thank you for your clarification. Upon investigation of your request, it looks that we have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that we unfortunately *cannot* offer a refund on these payments, as they were made too far in the past to be able to reverse on our end.

The good news related to that is that your account will not be closed and will be fully accessible once the buy-and-play conversion takes place, for whatever that may be worth to you. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause, and we thank you for your time. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to share it with us and we will work to help you as best we can.

Regards,

Funcom Customer Service"

It seemed too good to be true and it was. *sigh*
