I had envisioned creating a Dwarf Inquis in New Halas, so I logged in (with my currently paid sub) and downloaded EQ2X front end. After installing that I logged into the new launcher and started to create my character. I had some station cash on my account already so I purchased the Dwarf race and then setup my guy, and bummed around New Halas for about 30 min. I wanted all access to chat and some other stuff so I went ahead and bumped up to the silver account. So here is where my confusion sets in, since I am still a paying customer for the regular EQ2 servers, does that have any bearing on the EQ2X servers? If I want a gold account (at some point) on EQ2X is that another $15 a month fee (even though it is under the same account?)
If I decided to only play my silver account on EQ2X and cancel my regular EQ2 sub will my chars still be locked away in a vault for if I ever wanted to come back and play on reg servs? Are they 2 completely separate billing systems even under the same SOE login?
Having an EQ2 Live sub gives you nothing on EQ2X. You would be a Bronze.
Having a Station Access pass gives you Gold on EQ2X.
If you cancel your EQ2 sub it would have no effect (not talking about Station Access here) on your EQ2X account.
They are separate billing except for Station Cash and purchased expansions. If you have SF on your EQ2 Live account that would be recognized on EQ2X and you would be able to play to level 90.
Where it gets tricky is when this situation happens.
You have a Station Access pass which grants you Gold on EQ2X. You roll a Necro. Later you cancel your Station Access pass. You would not have access to the Necro because that is a restricted class. You would have to purchase the class unlock for 750 sc.
Or, you have a Station Access pass. You roll a Wizard (free class) and play him to 90. He is wearing Legendary and Fabled gear. You then cancel your Station Access pass. The gear would be removed from the toon because you need a Gold acct or higher to wear Legendary and Fabled.
