How to Unlock new Races without paying?

[fctory.pro]

I know that you can buy them. I simply dont unterstand, how getting a character to level 50 unlocks me a new species? Could someone explain to me this function in detail?

For all the non cartel races, you can unlock them 2 ways. Pay 1.5m credits each in the legacy system, or play a character of the race to level 50. For example, Sith pureblood is originally locked to the sith warrior/inquisitor, so you can make a Sith pureblood inquisitor and play that character to level 50, and it will then unlock that race for every single class.

The game is likely to be shuttered by the time the op finally gets enough cc together by that means. It would be simply eaiser to just do the storylines to get the non cartel races unlocked, okay it might take a month or two, but it's better than 1 to 3 years waiting for 100 cartel coins a month to build to buy.

For the races to unlock through the cartel, you can do dailies and/or sell stuff to build credits up to buy those race unlocks from the gtn instead.

I still dont quite get it. Is a Subscription needed? How else I should play a race that is locked? But I also cant unlock a already unlocked race?

My understanding is, I have to subscribe to unlock the races and if I play one to level 50 its unlocked even after my subscription ends?

if you subscribe, you can make them all (except those cartell market ones) and they stay even if your sub ends. so making a sith as mentioned above while subbed and leveling them up to 50 will unlock the race for your accont.

then you have the option to buy them via cartell market coins. theres easy achievements that award some coins that you could make on different servers until you have the amount you want.

and finally you can unlock them via the legacy system. (Y key)
they cost 1.5 mil each tho... and the currency cap for free/preferred players is 1 mil if i recall correctly? so im not sure exactly how that would work...
