KingDarkness Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 First of all greetings to all the community of SWTOR. I would like to ask a simple question about the type of account (I hope not to be opening up a double post otherwise please kindly tell me where I can find the right answer and close this post). In short I have noticed that there are 3 types of accounts with their differences of course and I was wondering something about the type PREFERRED: Since I have not seen this mentioned in the FAQ what I wanted to know if once made a purchase to switch from free prefferred that the account is preferred for ever or if this type of account has a limited life. Kindly respond as quickly as possible because I'm evaluating the possibility to unlock the prefferred option on my account and I would like to know this information before deciding.

KurganNazzir Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Unless BioWare changes their mind, you will never be a free player again after reaching preferred status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingDarkness Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Emh really my request was focused on another point: I wanted to know is if once changed the status of my account on prefferred that state was permanent or if you have a deadline for the state as a subscriber.

"preferred" and "subscriber" are two different things : "subscriber" is whoever pays for the game, while a "preferred" is anyone who EVER bought a game time code on their account, so no, there's no time limit. Btw, I think the guy who replied first pretty much answered to your question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluegrassGeek Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Emh really my request was focused on another point: I wanted to know is if once changed the status of my account on prefferred that state was permanent or if you have a deadline for the state as a subscriber. Basically, it breaks down like this: Subscriber - Obviously, paying a subscription for the game. Preferred - Anyone who previously subscribed OR anyone who spends at least $4.99 USD for Cartel Coins, the Digital Upgrade pack, or the Physical Security Key. Once you have a Preferred account, it stays that way unless you choose to Subscribe again. If you do, you'll drop back to Preferred status when the subscription runs out. Free - People who haven't given EA/Bioware a dime. Really, it's worth it to at least buy one set of Cartel Coins to get up to Preferred status.
