Can I play with my lvl 50 character without subscription?

[Alessandro Oliveira]

My friend said he can play with her character lvl 53 without paid subscription but the EXP is blocked. Is that true?

[Alessandro Oliveira]

Thanks! I imagined that.
Also, he loged in his account after months without pay subscription and still 3 days left of play time, but he said too his exp bar is blocked. How is that possible?

Your friend is trying to trick you. I had a friend that once said he played Grand Chase (which I played back then) and he came telling me he was level 86... When the game cap was 75... So I immediately started laughing up my ass.

An EXP bar lock at 53 is a very clear sign of a liar. Heavensward makes the cap at 60, so he SHOULD be able to get EXP at 53.

there is a free campaign that is still going on for those that haven't logged in for 30 days or more which allows return players to log in and play for the duration of this campaign, however once this is over they will not be able to continue with out a subscription.

that would be the only reason why one can log in without a subscription.

Thanks for all replies and thanks Blissy for the right response.

It's possible that your friend never registered the full HW/SB key, only the Early Access. That would lock them out of gaining XP past 50 and entering HW areas.

Another reason could be that they own the base game on multiple systems but not HW/SB. On the system without the expansions they wouldn't be able to gain XP past 50.

Impossible, first because, if you bothor had already done the free trial before the new campaign, you can't play with the new free trial method

And both and the new locked the lvl about 30 and 35.

Its not the duration of the campaign. It's 4 days exactly from the moment you login.

"Including the day on which you first log in, the free login period lasts approximately four days. For example, players who log in on March 28, 2018 at 12:00 a.m. can play free of charge until March 31, 2018 at 11:59 p.m."

I know that, I wasn't talking about the free trial at all. I was just trying to explain why their friend might not be able to gain XP past 50. The reason their friend is able to play without paying for a sub is the free login campaign, not the free trial.
