Hi all,
 
My brothers are really enjoying playing WS F2P, and I noticed that our local Gamestops still have a few boxes on the shelves for $5.
 
If they apply box codes to their accounts now, will they get any perks?  The FAQ at http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/news/2015-05-28-wildstar-is-going-free-to-play-heres-all-you-need-to-know/implies they won't, since we're past 9-29.  I don't want to waste $5 if they get nothing from the codes inside. 
 
Thanks in advance,
Oy.

So far everyone who asked said they got stuff, you still get 1 month of subscription which unlocks all the social features in the game forever(even after the subscription is over)
 
Not bad for 5 bucks.	
----
			For US$5 you still get quite a bit of stuff out of the box. An account-wide mount (the badlands Velocirex), the marauder red dye, the social fixes like being able to create a clan and make circles, a month of signature status, and one bag of riches that produces one of two mounts(GlitterKitty Cruiser Package hoverboard, Snarfelynx)or an outfit(Crimson Marauder's Costume Kit) that as far as I can tell only come from the bag and are worth quite a bit of plat. 	
----
			also if they are physical boxes you get 1 of 3 items (snarlfelnx mount, marauder costume or glitterkitty hoverboard)

Madda got the stupid costume.
 
Really wanted the hoverboard ; 3;

			dude for $5 dollars is super worth it.

			Thanks for the replies, all.  I was hoping they'd also get more character slots, but apparently not.

			I've heard that all box codes had a "lifetime" until yesterday, but I can't confirm it to you.

The box does. It should open up 12 spots per server once you apply the box code.

Actually the 12 slots for the box buyers is grandfathered and the promo is no longer available.

Just as Equa1ity here already said.

			didnt check, but if someone didnt mention you also get 12,000 cosmic points per box. If you open your shop interface in game, the top lefthand corner lists cosmic points. These build up whenever you spend irl monies on the game. The benefit is receiving cool bonuses like mounts and pets and guild creation privs

			In Canada, bestbuy and EB games are still selling boxes for $40+ :(	
----
			I was going to convince some friends to buy boxed copies of the game for $5 to get more character slots. Boo.  :(	
----
			 Where are u guys getting the 5 dollar boxes.. every thing I run into is charging premium...	
----
			
Rebel Angel .. Gamestop has them for $5 (some of them).. also Best Buy will price match Game Stop :) 
 
Also.. my .02 on buying box copies is to get them! You get all the perks for having a box copy and the fun ingame item. Even if you don't have/don't want the item you can sell it for decent plat and get credd that way :)

"Those who purchased and claimed a box code for WildStar before September 29 will receive some grandfathered benefits only available to box-purchasers, which will ensure that these accounts retain an experience that most closely matches that of the launch game."
----
			I could get one for me, but I don't live on USA and don't know anyone who could buy it for me. :p	
----
			
My account was made well before September 29 yet I somehow have lost my free 12 slots I got with my Digital Collectors Edition I used to make my account with, was not supposidly compensated with 12k Cosmic points either.
I'd probably never use them all, but I paid for that bonus and I should still recieve it whether it has gone F2P or not.

Was your account a trial or did you buy the game?
 
If you bought the game I would open a Customer Service ticket.
