I'm more interested in finding out about the $77 annual subscription. Tell more, please. I know you didn't say outright, but you did say "$77 yearly" and then "annual subscription" later, so I inferred...

Go and try to make some sense of the toons' inventories, legacy/cargo/guild bank tabs... AND THROW THINGS AWAY!!

If you have a recurring subscription, you'll have something like this at the bottom of the subscription page, showing when it'll renew: If you have a fixed-time, non-recurring subscription (i.e., the $40 "Join the Fight" bundle), then it'll just show you how many days you have left, but no "next billing date" or payment info, obviously.

I don't mind the placement, I just wish there was a keybinding to toggle it on/off. Assuming we're talking about the daily welcome screen that shows time/mail/# ppl in the instance, etc. and galactic seasons/weekly progress when expanded.

There is a tiny "XP" icon to the right of the experience bar at the bottom of the screen, and hovering over it tells you how much time is left for the event.

You do know that it's the Double XP event going on right now, right? For another 3 days. Normally I leave Korriban on a new Sith toon w/ all the quests finished at around level 16--with Double XP, it's around 24-25.

The 25% XP booster definitely works during the Double XP event, you can tell easily by looking at the XP reward for a mission in your tracker before applying it, and then checking it again after you apply the booster. For example, the mission "The Flight to Dromund Kaas" gives 17,201 XP with the Double XP event going on. After applying the 25% booster, it then gives 20,641 XP. The Exploration Boost and Major Experience Boost don't stack, IIRC. Don't know about the armor.
