Thread: Buying Rise of Isenguard

Couldn't find a forum section for questions, so I'm putting this here.
I'm a premium player and while ago I hit level 65 with one of my characters for the first time. Then I went and did the Allies of the King Epic quests for a while and now I'm ready to go into Dunland. Because I'm a premium player I'm going to need to either buy the expansion or the quest packs. Then I saw this:
http://store.turbine.com/store/turbi...oryID.58516200
Buying this version instead of the one in the TP store would be cheaper, but I noticed that on the page it says;
'subscription fees apply'
Because there are two differently priced versions of the game I'm wondering if that in this situation means that I need to be VIP to use this particular purchase version.
I'm only asking because it would be awful if I bought Isenguard and then it was revealed I couldn't use it for some reason. This seems rather stupid to ask, but I want to be sure.

Thanks for any help.

tl;dr, do I need to be VIP to buy this version?

no you do not need to be VIP. When you get the code however you will need to select 'use game time card' and apply later when you add the code to your account.

Well I went ahead and bought it, seems to be working fine. Didn't have to do any of that game card stuff (good thing, cause I had no idea what you were talking about), it appears.
Thanks!
