SWTOR Preferred Status Limitations After Your Subscription Runs Out

Vulkk by Vulkk|

If I am to name every single one, it would take me ages. The sad part is we still don’t really know about all of the new limitations and rules that apply to SWTOR F2P and Preferred statuses after the launch of Knights of the Eternal Throne. Below you will find some of the most important ones related to Galactic Command and other systems in the game. I will be adding more as I learn about them. As you are aware, I am an active subscriber and cannot test this myself, unfortunately.

  • Galactic Command is completely locked out. All you see is a notice to sub when opening it. This includes crates you have gained and stuff opened but not claimed. It is all locked away until you sub again.
  • You can still go into uprisings. This was tested by picking up the quest from a terminal and porting in without issue.
  • Veteran Flashpoints still drop CXP tokens, but they are locked out from use. It does not drop any kind of gear as a substitute.
  • Also massive amounts of green and blue items are coming up as needing Artifact Equipment Authorization from level 66-70 – most likely a bug. Crafted gear seems OK, but any drops aren’t usable unless you have the unlock.

Thanks to Reddit user flux1 for this interesting and important update.

If you have encounter any other limits after you have dropped your Subscription and want to share them with the community, please, let me know and I will update this article.
