Switching our accounts?

What they are doing now, is beta testing the limited or basic account with some beta users. Not all. So you're account will return to unlimited account when they are finished testing it.

I get that they are seemingly two totally separate events, but in fact there's a VERY high correlation between people who pre-ordered and people who were switched to Basic. Ask around, you'll find that it's true. So far, EVERY player I've met who got switched to Basic was also a person who pre-ordered. And that just doesn't seem fair at all. :h-mad:

I agree that its not fair and it definitely has to do with when you pre order as I had logged in early yesterday having not pre ordered and had unlimited and a founder title. Later pre ordered and after receiving my confirmation logged on and found I was now basic, no founder and just about everything was locked including my ship!!! Very frustrating!

same thing here - once I did my pre-order - BOOM - now I have a basic account - was just getting ready to make my guild and that is locked up along with skills and quests - can't even get a quest from a townsperson - if they keep basic like this, they won't have many players on basic... and since they have advertised so heavily (at least last Spring) that part of the game would be free, I think they need to rework the whole free part - at the very least, let them have fullscreen - can't see a thing (old, bad eyes) on the tiny little playing area.

Owooo!! That is so not right! I pre-ordered too and I was switched. Arrrgh - well I need to finish maxing out one of my toons anyway.
