SWTOR Meirm Cicada Mount: November 12 Subscriber Deadline and Eligibility

The SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount promotion ends at 5pm GMT on 12 November 2026. Broadsword is giving qualifying subscribers the Meirm Cicada GT, a new mount modelled on the older Meirm Cicada that players have asked to see return.

Broadsword says anyone with an active subscription within the 14 October to 12 November promotional window qualifies. It does not say you have to subscribe again if your paid time ended partway through that window. The publisher has also confirmed what the new speeder can carry, but not precisely when eligible accounts will receive it.

How to get the SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount

To qualify for the Meirm Cicada GT, your SWTOR account must have had an active subscription within the promotional period. Broadsword’s wording is “players with an active Subscription within this timeframe”, with the timeframe beginning alongside the announcement on 14 October and ending on 12 November at 11:00am Central Time, or 5:00pm UTC/GMT.

So if you were subscribed for part of the offer, you meet the published condition. If you stayed free-to-play or Preferred throughout, you don’t. Broadsword hasn’t set out a minimum number of paid days for this reward.

Broadsword also confirmed that its Rejoin the Fight and Master the Fight subscription bundles count towards the promotion. They are alternative ways to get subscription time, not an additional purchase required from someone who has already qualified.

When does the SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount offer end?

The official end time is Thursday, 12 November 2026 at 17:00 GMT. The same moment is 12:00pm Eastern Standard Time and 9:00am Pacific Standard Time. Broadsword’s own announcement gives 11:00am Central Time, so players outside the US should use the published UTC/GMT deadline rather than guess at a converted time.

Because the offer is time-limited, becoming subscribed only after the cutoff does not qualify you for this particular promotion under the announced rules. If you subscribed during the window, you do not need to guess whether the mount was meant to appear the second the clock reached the deadline; its actual grant schedule is a separate question.

Does the SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount carry companions and mini-pets?

Yes. The new Meirm Cicada GT supports a passenger slot for companions and mini-pets. Broadsword confirmed both categories in the October announcement, which makes it a little more interesting than a basic one-person vehicle.

There is a size limit, however. The developer specifically calls out larger companions such as B3-S1 as examples of characters that will not fit in the passenger seat. It would be misleading to describe the SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount as compatible with every companion simply because the feature is supported in general.

Broadsword describes the GT as a chance for fans of the original Meirm Cicada to get a similar reward. It is a newly named version, not an announcement that the old collector item is being directly reissued to everyone.

When will the SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount be delivered?

Broadsword has given the eligibility dates but not a precise delivery time. The mount isn’t guaranteed to appear the moment the promotion ends. The announcement doesn’t specify a delivery hour, so check Broadsword’s official channels for any distribution update after the promotion ends.

If your subscription meets the promotion rules, watch official SWTOR news for further instructions. If you need to contact support, having your account’s subscription details to hand will be more helpful than relying on rumours about an unannounced automatic delivery time.

Is the SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount linked to the character-name changes?

The same announcement also covers inactive character names. That’s separate from the SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount reward. Accounts subscribed on 12 November have their character names preserved under the announced policy.

Broadsword has also announced an inactive-name release affecting free-to-play and Preferred characters that have not logged in since 1 January 2026. That’s a separate policy with its own requirements, not a hidden step for claiming the mount.

Crucially, the name policy and the mount qualification do not use the same wording. The name preservation notice specifies subscriber status on 12 November, while the mount notice refers to having an active subscription within the promotional timeframe. Those should not be collapsed into a single condition.

Can free-to-play players get the SWTOR Meirm Cicada mount?

Not on free-to-play status alone. The promotion is a subscriber loyalty reward, and Broadsword has not described a separate free claim, event quest or in-game reputation vendor for the GT. A player who was a paid subscriber at some point in the announced qualifying window may be eligible even if their account is otherwise known as a returning player.

There’s no quest or reputation grind in Broadsword’s mount announcement. Check whether you had an active subscription during the 14 October to 12 November qualifying period, then look for official delivery information. Broadsword has not announced an exact grant time.
