    • You can see in the banking section of the account if an advantage pack automatically renews itself or not. Choose the button “Status & Cancellation”. If the date “Valid until” has a “*” it will automatically renew itself, if not it will end on the mentioned date.
    • If the payment screen displayes a message warning about an impending expiration of an Advantage Pack, Premium Gold is not set to automatically renew.
    Can I get a refund if I cancel before the end of the paid for period?
    • No, unfortunately there are no refunds if the account is cancelled early

      • Dragonknight = Agathon's Lost Legacy
      • Spellweaver = Grimmag's Lost Legacy
      • Ranger = Lehaine's Lost Legacy
      • Steam Mechanicus = Orsha's Lost Legacy
    Deluxe Premium
    For the players who can't get enough premium, there's even a deluxe version, which can be purchased from the same menu as the regular premium.

    What benefits does Deluxe Premium offer?
    • All the benefits that Premium Accounts already enjoy PLUS
    • A different Crown icon by their name ([​IMG] )

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Who can purchase Deluxe membership?
    Every player is eligible to become a Deluxe member. You can also become a Deluxe member even though you are already a Premium member or even if you have no Premium.

    I am already a Premium Member, what happens to my Premium membership if I upgrade to Deluxe?

    You will instantly become a Deluxe member and once the runtime of your Deluxe membership runs out you will be downgraded to regular Premium. Let’s imagine one has 50 days left of regular Premium benefits and one decides to purchase 3 days of Premium Deluxe membership. In this case one immediately gets upgraded to Deluxe membership and will enjoy the benefits of the Deluxe membership for the next 3 days. After the 3 days one will get downgraded to regular Premium again and the 50 days will start counting down.

    Can I upgrade my Premium Account to a Deluxe Premium Membership?
    Unfortunately this feature is not available at this time.

    Can I still use the Dragon Wings and Swift Harpy after my Deluxe Membership expires?
    No, unfortunately you will not be able to.

    How to Claim Voucher Codes

    Claim from the website
    1. Log into the game at drakensangonline.com
    2. On the landing page immediately after log-in, you will find a box for typing in a voucher code on the left hand side.
    3. Type the voucher code into this field, and click "Use Bonus."

    Claim in-game

    voucher.png

    How will I get my reward once I have claimed the code?
    Log into the game, and you should see a blue notification box [​IMG] drop down on the left hand side. Click on that, and you should see a pop-up detailing all the items the bonus code gives you. Click on the green check mark on the pop-up to accept.

    image004 (2).jpg

    I have more than one character, can all my characters benefit from a voucher code?
    This depends on the rewards given by the voucher code. If the voucher gives an item (eg. dyes), then it will only apply to one character. If the voucher gives access to a feature that is normally shared across all characters attached to one account (eg. premium benefits), then all characters will receive the benefit of the voucher.

    Where can I find voucher codes?
    Voucher codes are posted under the Official Announcements when they are made available.

    My voucher code doesn't work! What's wrong?
    Your voucher code might not be working for a variety of reasons such as:
    • Code was spelled incorrectly.
    • Code was already claimed on your account.
    • Code has expired.
    • The offer was limited in quantity, and the maximum number of claims has already been reached.
