Have Premium I think?

[NomadicCanuck]

Redownloading the game and logged in to do my bi-decade LOTRO binge, and went to buy premium, but I have it? Is it all ingame now? Or do I get free stuff? Account is from 2011.

Check the LOTRO Store in the Top Left Corner will be your Account Name. If you have a VIP beside it, you have a VIP Account, if not, you likely do have Premium if you spent Money at any time. A Premium Account is one which has Spent Money but does not currently have a VIP Subscription.

A Premium Account has a few bonuses over the Free to Play Account. https://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Account_Type Link to all the various Benefits of each Account Type.

There's 3 account types in game;
- free,
- premium, which just means you've spent real money on the game at some point. It unlocks the free restrictions, gives some more character slots
- VIP which is running a sub.

F2p area is now lvl 1 to 95 with all the pre-2013 content. Anything that came out after Helm's Deep you either buy or run a sub to access (and even a sub doesn't cover the latest expansions).

Depending on what you did with your account before you stopped playing in 2011 you might have items that are associated with it. If you type /claim in the chat window of your character you'll see what that might be.
