So it's been 27 hours since I gave Turbine my money to upgrade my account to VIP, so far I am not a VIP, I've sent 2 e-mails to account support with no reply as of yet. Despite it being an international phonecall, I have called them. I did stop the phonecall early because I was on hold and didn't much want to spend the cost of paying my subscription again in additional phonebills.
Unacceptable, Turbine.
