You do realise that by doing this you have essentially handed down, for free, permanent access to the VIP server, when it was argued to us that the whole point of the "VIP server" Ymir (as opposed to the "open" servers, Ygg and valkyrie), was that character creation was restricted to people who would have to pay for VIP at least once.
I imagine you would have to of already made an account on Ymir to be able to receive a VIP gift/extension. No account, nothing to add VIP time to. Staff wouldn't be able to create an account for a player themselves without knowing their details first.
I believe as far as Ymir is concerned this mainly benefits old returning players who already had accounts. New players will already have 30 Days VIP from their first payment, though maybe now it'll be 34 Days depending on the criteria (may of had to have an account for longer than that).
