Epic Reincarnation Limbo Bug / Free trial issue with VIP

I have VIP account. I noted free trial remarks when I created a warlock, but it would not let me purchase (I suppose because I'm VIP), so I proceeded with free trial.
I leveled warlock to 28, then picked up Epic Heart of Wood. Epic reincarnated.
At character creation during epic reincarnation, warlock is only class available (as expected), but I cannot proceed. The interface indicates I must purchase warlock. VIP status is not recognized.
The interface offers warlock purchase, but DDO store correctly says Warlock class is not available, presumably due to VIP account.
Warlock character is now in reincarnation limbo: It will not epic reincarnate, because character creator thinks I do not have access to class. I cannot heroic reincarnate because reincarnation interface says, "Your character is already flagged for reincarnation!" It can continue playing at level 28, but no reincarnation is available.
If you need to examine character the name is Eau.

My best guess is that when the Character Creation interface was modified to offer a free trial for the Warlock class, the code that recognizes the VIP account broke and it only offers a free trial. In later reincarnation, there is no free trial, it does not recognize VIP and the correctly working DDO store will not sell it. You need some kind of code added to character creation class selector Warlock section that is something like:
"If ((account.VIP.active) or (account.premium.classes.warlock) == true)) {warlock.selectorButton.visible = true; FreeTrial.selectorButton.visible = false;}" or similar to whatever code you use. If you have an existing "Warlock purchased" check in the code, just add an "or" check for active VIP account right there.

You might want to get this one looked at before release, or you have the potential of a lot of VIP members creating bugged "free trial" characters, that may cause issues if you wait to hotfix it after release.


BTW - Nice class so far!

Thanks for your feedback.

There are some issues we're aware of with buying Warlock on Lamannia right now. This is part of why the Free Trial is turned on. We expect this should be fixed with the next Lamannia build.

Since you didn't own Warlock, Reincarnation assumed you shouldn't be able to proceed.

I also rolled a different character wanting to try a 36 point build, so I leveled through two other classes first. On the 2nd true reincarnation/3rd life in the character creator, Warlock is not selectable. There was not even a free trial and it cannot be bought because it's free to VIP. Waiting for the next build...

on subsequent lives just choose another class as your first class then level to 20 in warlock in the dojo and use a heart to swap out.

Will the heart let you change the first level to Warlock? I didn't think it would because it seems to be an issue with the character creation routines. I'll give it a shot on my character on Lam...

Seems you are right, you can change out any classes EXCEPT level 1 (at creation) bah....

It actually started happening for a new character today as well. It could go to level 2 without same DDO store popup saying class is not available. Experimented a bit more and clicked the "Show All Items" button and Warlock appeared. It still said it is unavailable in red, but the "Add to Cart" but was active. Added to cart and it all works now. Also posted here for anyone not reading this thread, especially since others online also said they could not get to level 2:

[You have to change the search mode to the one where it shows you everything you can purchase. This allows you to see the Warlock as a light icon, but a little darker than the others, you can then select him, and he'll be there when you create other Warlocks.
