Account Changes After Canceling Your Subscription

After canceling your SWTOR subscription, your account will be downgraded to a Preferred status. This status falls between a Subscriber and a Free-to-Play player. While some restrictions may apply, you will still have access to your characters and certain benefits. Here are some key changes you can expect:

1. Character Slots: Your account will have a limited number of character slots available. However, your existing characters will not be deleted. If you have more characters than the allowed limit, you will need to choose which characters to play when you log in.
2. Credit Cap: Preferred players will have a credit cap, meaning there is a limit to the number of credits they can hold. Any credits exceeding the cap will be placed in an escrow account. If you decide to re-subscribe in the future, you will regain access to these escrowed credits.
3. Access to Expansions: If you have unlocked any expansions while you were a subscriber, you will retain access to them even after canceling your subscription.
4. Mounts and Items: Any mounts, items, and cargo hold access that you earned during your subscription will be retained.
5. Gameplay Restrictions: Preferred players may experience some limitations compared to subscribers. These may include reduced experience gain, limited access to certain game features, and fewer character customization options. However, you will still be able to enjoy the core gameplay experience.

Rejoining the Galaxy

If you decide to re-subscribe to SWTOR in the future, your account will be upgraded back to Subscriber status. You will regain access to all Subscriber benefits, including any credits held in escrow and additional character slots.

Now that you know how to cancel your SWTOR subscription and what changes to expect in your account, you can confidently take a break from your adventures in a galaxy far, far away. When you’re ready to return, reactivating your subscription is just a few clicks away. May the Force be with you!
