Thx these helped but what if they are subscriber species like twilek or sith and now that new subs get rise of the hut cartel for free does that make me a preferred status player no matter what?

I have been playing swtor since f2p came out but recently i bought a non recuring 60 day subscription. when this subsctiption expires will i lose all the new characters i created and stuff like that or does it let me keep the characters i created during the subscription and just change back the gameplay to f2p. Please resbond i dont want to put a ton of work into a character for nothing. THX!!!!

Thx:D this helped alot but another question what is the taunt power people keep telling me to use it although i am not sure what it is and how to use it if u could help i would very much appreciate it:)

i am a level 34 powertech and i keep trying to do flash points and i keep getting kicked out because i cant tank everyone says i need to taunt although i am not sure how to do this please help me if u know how!!!
