I seem to recall seeing a deadline notice for ARC item code redemption but can't find it now, anyone know how long they can be redeemed?

    I believe it's this week.

    Safe bet: just install and use ARC to redeem the codes ASAP. Except for the Star Trek Ferengi Shuttle all the rewards are account-wide, so redeeming them now can't hurt. And since ARC (as well as the games them selves) is a totally free download and play, there is absolutely no reason to "just do it".

    You sure about account wide? Just getting started in Neverwinter and wasn't sure I wanted to actually keep that toon.

    Yes, all rewards for Star Trek Online, Champions Online and Neverwinter are account-wide (all characters, current and future will be able to claim them) except for one: In Star Trek Online the second round of rewards (there are two rounds) can only be claimed once, and that is the free 40 Lobi Crystals (same as Tarmelune Trade Bars in Neverwinter) and the Ferengi Shuttle spaceship - those are only claimable on the first character to login to STO after redeeming the code. (But Lobi Crsytals are account-wide in-game anyway) - so technically, only the Ferengi Space Shuttle is only one per character).

    But everything else is account-wide.

    Also note I am only referring to Cryptic games. Other PWE games rewards may or may not be account-wide. For example: Forsaken World (which I also play occasionally) gave a reward that was for one character. However, all the rewards from Cryptic games are account-wide; and I know because I've claimed them all. :)

    Is there a new code I missed? I have 2 on file for them?
    1 gives an account wide companion, plus 1 set of potions per account.
    2nd one gives a potion pack per account.

    Is there another one?

    BTW both codes still work after months, as I give them to my guuildies as they join.

    There were two rounds of rewards for all ARC games. The first gave the companion (in Neverwinter), the second (I forget what it was, but might have been the Adventurer's Booster pack or something). Only the first round was announced in NEWS blog. The "second round" wasn't really announced, but following the ARC Dev Blog is where I learned of it. I suspect most people did not claim the second round of rewards as they didn't know about it.

    As for the codes and redeeming them: they are publicly sharable codes: until the promotion ends. Which I believe it just did. Once the promotion ends (which I believe it just did: April 1) the codes *may* no longer work at all. I don't know this, but it makes sense to me as I can't see PWE giving away these free shinies forever (else the "special bonus" would't be so special).
