For those not wanting to drop a big chunk of change for a Founders membership, the one month $9.95 option may be a good choice. The one month membership does not begin until the game goes Gold and you will receive all of this months member items. We got a one month membership for the kids today, so I can tell everyone what came with that $9.95 purchase.
-30,000 credits
-receive 1,000 daily credits at log in
-IM feature
-Snowy Victorian Room
-Crystal Snowman
-Ice Dancer Music Box
***We called VFK to do the transactions and found out horses are being given out with even the monthly VIP memberships if you join this month.
We just wanted to pass this along in case anyone might be interested in some of the above items/benefits but not want to spend the $$ for the Founders Memberships at this time.

Okay, I signed up yesterday, through the website for the 1mth family. It did give my character the credits, Victorian room, Crystal snowman, music box, but nothing about a horse. I don't know if that is something that would come when it goes Gold or not, but nothing was mentioned in any of the transactions or responses. And I see that just the main account holder gets these, not the added family members. Too bad, would have liked the stuff for kid's character too, but not enough to get her a seperate account hehe. Incidently, no email confirming purchase was received, just the when I logged on with the character the message I had received the room & items.

Hi
Everybody seems to be getting different things ,not all seem to be getting the horses.
What worries me is i have e-mailed three times over the past week, for them to explain what i would be getting, and they have not replied. So why would i give money to people that can not be bothered to reply to a question about membership, and no i can not phone as i live in the uk , and could buy a real horse for the price of the phone call. lol
I am a little upset about not getting a reply, so at the moment i am still pondering about going ahead.
Thanks to those who have helped with some of my questions anyway. :??:

When I logged into her character (getting her caught up on the epic quests, she doesn't have her fairy/mermaid/wolf magic), and then went to buy her a blue gown, it said she couldn't because she wasn't a member. Now do family members that aren't the main account NOT have membership to buy the member only specials?! Now it is letting her do the epic quests, which at least the mermaid one says members only, so I'm guessing it does recognize her membership at least at some level. Before I send a message to the blackhole connact us, I thought I would check and see if it is something her character should be able to do? Or do I have to buy everything and trade it to her? If I do, will she be able to even take it and wear it?

I believe this is correct. Only the MAIN ACCOUNT HOLDER on a Membership can purchase the Members Only Items. However, they can trade them to family members - and the family members can use the items. So it does sound like you being the main account holder will need to buy the items and trade them to her. She will then be able to wear them.
Members only items will not even show in a trade window to a non-member.
Hope that helps? I know it's not an answer you want to hear, but I do believe that is correct.
Below is a previous post from Princess explaining just that. When the Members Tab did first come out (Since then it has changed to where we can all see the Members Only Items - we just can't buy them.

Family members can not see the items or purchase them. We tried trading the items. They were tradeable to people who are a member of a family, but I could not trade to someone who was not a member or family member. So it would seem you have to be a member account or family member to be able to trade the items. :waveb:
More to come later tonight or tomorrow...

Wow ~ I don't know what to say about the horse issue?? I'm as confused as you. :??: I personally purchased the Australian Membership, so I won't be of any help with the Monthly Membership Options.
Hopefully Princess and King can clarify exactly when horses and stables are given out to folks that purchased one of the Monthly VIP Plans.
As far as the room, snowglobe and crystal snowman - yes, those were only again given to the Main Account Holder, and not awarded to each family member. The only difference here is that with one of the Founder Plans (Original Beta or Australian) - each family member got some virtual items too (examples: silver spinner, didgeridoo, pins, Akubra hat).

Sounds like you didn't get the horse either. Hopefully Princess and King will have some information.
I think Pink might have bought into this Monthly membership too, maybe she can let us know if she ever got a horse either??

Okay, great. Thank you that does help. As long as her character can use them and receive them in trade, we can do it that way. I figured I would be buying most of it on my character anyways, Mom is always the one with the money, hehe.
