As we’ve said in the past, EU pre-orders are on track to be delivered late summer. If we have any news, you will be the first to know!

All well and good but can we have some updates on existing customers who ordered the new tiers in the EU October 2019?

@LucFromShadow fair assumption that ‘end of summer’ means August, considering French summer months are June - August?

thanks Ryan :)

Yay now there is another step that isnt an auto complete in the discord.

hey just really confuse. so i checked and seen my subscription starts today, june.09.2020. but from this posting it says i wont be able to actual run or use the shadow service tell june 25.2020. or even later...so my concern is why am i wasting all that time just to be able to use my subscription for a week or so. should my subscription start the day im activated?

Hello, This is a common problem with our current system.
You get the information that your subscriptions start when your Shadow gets very close to being ready. Within the week basically.
We know it is not user friendly at all and are working on a better system that will only display a change once you can actually access your Shadow. So as to avoid confusion.

And rest assured, your billing cycle will only start when you actually get access to your Shadow.

Looks like I moved to activation this week with my order moving to subscription.  Looks like my  subscription will be based off 6/9  effective date, is that true or when I actually get access (hopefully this week) it will get changed?  

Billing cycle will starts once you can actually access your amazing shadow boost.

       My pre-order was May 5, what date do I have activation?

The one that is available in your personal account: https://account.shadow.tech/order-tracking

this is the only information

Well that means you will be activated sometime in June

I'm hoping mine is ready for tomorrow.  I've booked the week off work as I haven't had any time off this year and needed the break to just relax.  My wife is working from home so using my gaming PC.  Would be great to be able to use my underpowered laptop for some gaming.

Anyway, it is what it is.  I'll wait.

The activations occur from Monday to Thursday. It’s likely you are activate sometime next week.

Didn’t Master Swipe just say they activate each week up until the night of Sunday to Monday? 


Ah, didn’t read the message! Great news then:D

Ordered May 5th (California), according to this forum thread I should already have been activated. What’s the point of this thread if it’s not going to have accurate information? :p
