If I sub one month and unsub will I keep the gold costume unlocks and still be able to play as silver? Costume pieces is the only thing that concerns me.

With the Gold account, you also have access to the Freeform. And the freeform is WAAAAAAY more fun than the archetype.

( And way more overpowered )

if u go back to silver u will lose the gold costume unlocks BUT if u buy them as a silver they will not be lost. anything u buy thats account wide like freeform slots, hideouts, travel powers and Archtypes ect ect, if u use zen to buy them they are yours reguardles if u go from silver to gold and then back to silver.

Gold or lifetime is the best value.

Games like this aren't worth paying a monthly sub for anymore. This game is a dying breed of last gen mmorpgs I am surprised the servers are still going. If you do go for free play expect it to play much like a harshly limited copy of the actual game. Free to play isn't worth wasting your time. Its not free to play its free to try and if you like it you will pay the monthly sub... its a money gimmick.

Side note, new players in games like this are hard to comeback which means you will be lost trying to find people to level with on a steady basis. Which again doen't warrant any kind of month pay scale for me personally.

For playing Solo, yes. But with friends, the game is really really fun. But yeah, basically, everything is locked to the F2P players.

- Many costumes and items are missing
- You can't customize your power and your "class"
- Travel powers are locked except for some
- Don't expect to handle Freeforms characters

The game use his possibilites in the character creation to be fun. So... If you substract this... What do you have ?

This is not true I have played through all the content in the game on my Soldier that I've had for five years now, he's fully geared and able to outdo most people in DPS. The only thing that is limited is freeform character slots which can be bought for the price of a full game (was just on a 50% discount) and visual flair (more costumes, power colors, custom pets, etc.), other than that you get access to the whole game.

Gold, unlike silver is limited on what and how they can play the game if you return to silver at anytime from gold you will have to have to pay to unlock features from the z-store.

This might explain things alitte bit better as too what you actually get by subscribing to the game for $14.99 a month with tax it's $16.23 a month (can depend on location for tax rate[www.calculator.net], European Union (EU) is about 15-20% more).

25 Archetype's instead of 10
8 Character Slots instead of 2.
3 Costume Slots instead of 1.
4 Inventory Bag Slots instead of 1.
200,000 Gold instead of 500 Gold
500 Zen monthly stipend for C-Store purchases.
Full AH Access instead of 10 slots
3,000 costume parts of 400
Freeform Slots instead of 5,000 Zen per
