Where is the in-game message displaying the time remaining for new players?

[DemonHorns.9261]

At the bottom of this page https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/230165307-Guild-Wars-2-Account-Types-Free-Core-HoT-PoF it says, "You should see a message in-game displaying the time remaining before you have full access to these features".

 

The problem is Arenanet never sent me such a message. This is pissing me off because now I don't know how long I need to wait.

"message" might not be quite the right word

it's more that in certain windows, if you are locked out of a feature, you will see a count down indicating how long til it's available

 

I can't test that for you to find out where exactly these appear, but I think it might be when you mouseover the mail or black lion trading company icons.

"Message" does not have to be an equivalent for "ingame mail". When you try to use one of the blocked features it should tell you.

 

If you try to access a guildbank, the window popping up and denying you access will tell you how many days left. It is 5 days from creating the account. I don't remember if it also tells you how many hours. it will either be at daily reset time, or at the time you made the account, which you can determine by checking the account confirmation mail time.
