VitalityPrime Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is there a list to read, or can someone list here exactly what you lose out on when/if you stop subbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dscount Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'd start with the link on the SWTOR site and see the Preferred vs. F2P - you would be Preferred Status. http://www.swtor.com/free/features/ (Good comparison details) BEFORE you leave make sure you click some friends link for the extra benefits you can't get while in preferred. Of course here is MINE if you want > http://www.swtor.com/r/FDltnT The biggest bonus was having an email to each toon sent with "Preferred Bundle" that had several useful unlocks once you are no longer SUB. Extra crew slot, free transfer (one toon), etc. Stock up on items you can SELL for 50k - 100k each. Since your credits cap at 350k you need income as you spend.

VitalityPrime Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the quick info. So it looks like preferred status is definitely restrictive...but it also seems like you should be able to play through the game and chat as normal...for the most part.

dscount Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yes.. some of the BIGGEST issues I found was things like Artifact Authorization was REALLY needed if you still want to use your purple gear. If you RAID on one toon.. Buy some weekly passes so you can play still when possible. PVP - I'm not much into PVP, but it was pretty limiting in preferred as well to like 3 a week I think.

(Bummer) Unless they've changed things recently, you can still use any Artifact quality equipment that's already bound to you without the authorization. Equipping new Artifact gear requires the unlock, or subscriber status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equipping new Artifact gear requires the unlock, or subscriber status. Hmm.. you might be able to have it, but when my account lapsed for a day I had it showing the broken icon. You can't EQUIP any purple items, so maybe never remove the gear is the solution. It's clearly listed in the features page. I do know on another person's preferred account I sent him some low level (13-24) Purple Armor/Mod's and he couldn't use them on his characters. I'd just be AWARE of some restrictions around this. They don't have an unlock pay wall for no reason. PS: I went looking for an Artifact Unlock for my buddy (was likely 1+ million), but nobody ever sell's them or they sell out too fast.
