I started playing today and was wondering what subcriber-locked item means? Does it mean, once your surcription expired, you're not able to wear them anymore?
This is what Help says: "You'll be able to keep everything that you've bought with the credits available on your account, or ones you've bought separately. The only things you'll lose will be any free 'subscriber only' vanity features or wardrobe items you've picked up."
And as I discovered when I let my first month lapse, it's possible that you will be wearing nothing but the overcoat you purchased with credits and some bunny slippers, which might be creepy or disturbing to some gamers.
