A free 1 year premium membership is included for all people who are booked on the 2008 gothic cruise, and paid in full.
Here is what you need to do for the free Premium Membership.
You need to send me an email with the following Information:
1. In the Subject Line Type: GC Free VR PM
2. In the email, put your LEGAL Name you are booked under.
3. VR Name: If you already have a VR Account you wish to use, type that here. If you do not already have one, or would like a new one. Send your TOP THREE Choices.
Thats it. Just make sure you send it to me!

Z,
Do you get 1 free Premium account per cabin or person?
Per person booked.
The gothic beauty magazine is per household.
So a married couple would get one at the same address, but if you have a roommate - you each would get one.
Z, will this go into effect after the final payment is made?
Yes. Here in about a week.. I am going to start doing the premium accounts - As final payments are called in.
Now, everyone needs to be patient. I have 200+ accounts to activate or extend, and that is going to take me some time. It is NOT going to be instant. (so please dont email me the day after your final payment and ask where your account is).
Please keep in mind.. along with VR Accounts.. I have to process the free Gothic Beauty Magazine Subscriptions, the dining charts for the entire group, finalize our events with the cruiselines, print the itineraries, finish the invoices, mail everyone their tickets who has NOT booked the precruise party, finalize tshirt orders.. well. .the list goes on.. but you get the idea.

Muddy...great to see you on VR. Can't wait for the port. He,he!!! :)
Hey Everyone.. I havent heard from ALOT of people.
I need to get this info soon!
Z
Z,
Now that you have our payments, how long until we get the membership activated?
Just curious.
Hey Dog
Everyone is still calling in payments.. Cancer has put up the program I need -
The problem is hardly anyone has submitted their vr names - so I am haviing to track them all down.
I was hoping to have already started. Im hoping to start this week if I can get the rest.
Z
LoL!! Sent ya minnnee!!! Are you going to be sending out emails or anything to confirm when the account is set up??
XD
no Jon - I'd thought I'd let everyone guess. All Genre
i sent mine, i did my part, Is there anyone we need to hunt down?
I don't know that it will make that much difference for me. I'm terrible with HTML :P.
I'll find someone to bug for help.
Guessing is always good.. it helps strengthen a person precognitive abilities... Either that, or makes you into a skitzo thinking that you have precognitive powers... -.-
j/k
So I just have to give you my already made name, and it'll be upgraded?? Or do I have to make a new one?
Just need to follow the instructions up top.
If you already have a vr account.. then it is extended by a year.
Z
moving my fingers as fast as possible?
I had final payments last week, and some still arent paid in full yet.. so im having to track them down.
This week I have to finalize all space with the cruiseline and hotel.
12 huge boxes of band equipment arrived at my house this week too... so i have to record all serial numbers and send the list to customs.
oh.. and I have about 200 envelopes to lick.
Cryyyyyyyyyyyyystal! Come Back!!!

The first round of premium accounts were processed today.
If you dont have your premium account, it is because you have not emailed me following the above instructions yet.
All Genre
Woot Woot!!!! Thank you Z for all of your hard work and a HUGE thank you to CANCER!!!! *hugs*
And I cannot believe people have not gotten you the info yet! What are they crazy!! LOL
my shiny new and minty frsh account is up and running... thanks so much, Z!
and yeah, so many people wait until the last minute to get stuff done, but i can't be like that. i'd go INSANE.
plus, i'm sooooo looking forward to this cruise! not too many gothy types where i live.
i've got a question/observation:
at first i was only going over and posting in the goth cruise section of VR. however i recently went to peruse other areas and found that i cannot post there. when i try i get this:
"You must be at least level 2 or a Premium Member in order to respond to Forum threads."
i thought i WAS a premium a member. should this be happening and what can i do about if it isn't?
Yeah, it is messed up right now for some reason so just do a bunch of rating and page viewing and you can level up to level 2 quick. if you go to the status system to the left it will explain what, and how many of everything you need for each level.
You are a premium member, so Im not sure why you cant post in the forums.
Have you tried messaging one of the admins?
Z
I have a second PM, Z and so does one of my friends and it did the same thing. I didn't message anyone about it since I hit level 2 in a few hours...lol
i did not contact. i wanted to make certain whether or not this was supposed to happen before "bothering" them. also, it sounds like it isn't just me, but maybe a few people?
but i 'spose notifying an admin is the way to go regardless...
okay, just to lte y'all know, i sent a "help" message out, which got forwarded to the admins and it has been fixed! huzzah! thanks for the info/advice!
