Any XP gained while XP gain is disabled will go into your XP pool" no where does it say its in a seperate patch.
If you read the entire post and server gets taken down for patch and bday stuff is everhwere wouldnt you assume the xp fix/tweak was also?
Guess they messed up again. Something like that would be big enough to make it to patch notes.

The first one is annoying since they are just plain social items from what I gather so why limit who can get them when especially fr00bs would have to even pay for them as they don't get PP automatically. The second one comes up often enough when they do those deals and now this is the third almost in a row, it's nuts. They did a free weekend deal during Halloween or Christmas once that seems fine but all these free thirty day deals for people that canceled is a bit much.
For the third I went to the accounts page and found the deal under upgrade options and was able to apply it to a current full account. When I did that the next payment due date that was listed got bumped up by about a year. It's $90 rather than $95.50 (think that's right) so isn't a big savings.
What I see as a problem there is they have a real bad habit of providing limited or incomplete info on things. Like the vet account thing, we're still asking for more info on how that works. When LoX was offered I added it to a at that time canceled account and it didn't go through since I didn't know it only worked on active accounts even though the deal included 30 days of play time.
