Just need to clarify something regarding Preferred Status [ Edited ]

[GunbattePyro]

The 2.99 Cartel Coin purchase will grant Preferred Status, right? I've been looking into problems surrounding this before I made my purchase, albeit relatively old threads, and I really don't want to have to wait any prolonged period of time to get the benefits.

Also, does the non-subscription based Preferred Status  come with additional character slots?

It should, if it don't Customer support can take care of that.

I personally would recommend the digital Upgrade Pack to upgrade to preferred. (That's might not so good a tip in USD then it is in Euro)

There is no difference between the tow ways to become preferred,

but you miss out the benefits of being an former subscriber like getting access to all then released content and the max level.

I see, thank you very much, you have been very helpful.

Lets say that I have no interest in doing anything that the premium status offers, other than max level and experiencing all the expansions, and some of the good end game gear, would subscribing for a one month recurring subscription be worth it? (in your opinion).

@GunbattePyro

For me yes, but you need then to remember cancelling the subscription, or buy a non recurring for 2 Months.

For the End Game Gear you, need to be lvl 70 and need to invest Time and reading up how to get the most out of it for your Characters.

And you can't change it after the subscription runs out, so you need to be very careful afterwards with it.

Just to be clear if you have not subscribed at all , to play past level 50 and to play the expansions you do need to subscribe for at least 30 days.

when the subscription ends you keep access to the expansions and able to level to 70, however you will not be able to do end game gearing see this link for info
