So, can I get a free pane for each login, or for each NCSoft account? Do I need to create a different NC soft account for each extra account I have to get the free panes on those?

I have three separate GW accounts. One was already linked to an NCSoft account, and two were not linked. I got a free pane on the linked account first. When I went to get free panes on the other two accounts I was allowed to get them, but it forced me to link each GW account to an NCSoft account. Now I have the special free pane on each of my accounts.

I suspect that if you link multiple GW accounts to a single NCSoft account, then you'll only be able to get the free storage on one GW account. I wasn't willing to test the theory, so I made a new NCSoft account for each GW account.

Hope this helps,

I appreciate your help, but this is not explicit enough...

Does this mean you get one free pane to share among all of the accounts that are on an NCSoft Master Account, or one free pane per GW Login on a NCSoft Master Account. "The free one with them all" could be taken to imply that there is only one free pane being spoken of. "A free pane with each account" may be a little clearer, and is what I am hoping for, just so I don't need four logins to PlayNC

Sorry, this is the engineer in me trying to make sure I understand exactly what I am doing before I start linking stuff.

UPDATE: Crimson posted while I was railing against vague language. I want to thank everyone for the clarification. Now I need to see about deleting the second account I created because I didn't realize I had the first one already.

One pane for each GW account. I have one NCSoft account with 2 GW accounts linked, and each has it's own pane.

If you have multiple accounts linked to your PlayNC master account (I have two), after you log into the NCSoft store and choose the storage upgrade, you have the choice of which account to add it to.

I did have to log out and close my browser to clear the cache before I could get the free upgrade on my second account.

OK, so now the more pertinent question is how do I attach my three mule accounts to my playNC account? I am having trouble finding info on the NCSoft site about adding my other accounts.

I cannot for the life of me remember why I signed up for it in the first place. FFS, I don't want accounts everywhere.

So, to respond to myself...

I saw in another thread that someone said use the store. It didn't seem to give me an option, then I found this method:

1: Add something to your cart.
2: Go to checkout
3: Choose the option to link you account (rather than create a new one)
4: Exit the store and empty your cart
5: Profit!

All my mules now have their panes, and I am happily farming Vaettirs.

Done.

Just adding a question:
I finally got around to creating a NCSoft account.
I got my free pane.
I only linked one GW account though.
Now, as I can understand from the above post - I can link additional GW accounts.
Will I be able to redeem the FREESTORAGE coupon again (and apply it to the currently non-linked GW account) or do I need to create a new NCSoft account for that?

Edit:
Crap. Problem solved.
My other account is already linked. Have no idea to what though.

I bought a second GW account and like to link it to my PlayNC master account in order to get the extra storage pane.

But when I log into my PlayNC master account I am unable to add the second GW account. It gives an error: "Error linking account. Please check your account name and password and try again. If the problem persists contact support."

I contacted support and hope to get a reply in time to get the free storage pane on the 2nd account.

Update: The problem was that my password was too long. PlayNC seems not to support passwords longer than 13 chars. I gave details to NCSoft support so they can pass this on to the devteam.
