End of Subscription question

So, I started playing 3 tests ago, I'm fairly new. I have however activated my free  subscription, and I used it to change my skin colour & use a pair of subscriber eyes. I was originally planning on my subscription ending & then just having to use a pair of regular non subscriber eyes, well, when I went back through vanity I noticed that the hair I had been using (which was free when I started) had been moved to the subscribers section.

 SO... my question is what happens when my subscription ends? does my avatar just go back to defaults?

  • I've heard conflicting responses but my general understanding is that we won't be allowed to use subscriber-only eyes or settings, though any subscriber-only cloithing we've bought will stay with us. That's the part I'm really not sure about, though... is if, even though we can keep it, we could still use it, too.

  • My current hair was non-subscriber and has been moved. I'm not a subscriber, and I still have it. I think if I change it, I won't be able to get it back; however, for now, it stays. Maybe at reset they will force me to pick again...for now...I'm just keeping it and if one day I log in and I'm bald, then I'll pick some new hair...until then...I'm keeping it. I really dislike how one day the hair, eyes and noses were non-subscriber, and the next many became subscriber only. If non-subscriber, they should stay that way...or provide some other non-subscriber options for the ones they took away. And, no, I'm not going to subscribe just because of the crappy non-subscriber hair selections or colors.

    Friend of mine bought clothes as a subscriber, and they have not gone away. She can swap them out no problem. However, the vanity items were a different story. She's the one that told me that once you change your hair, if it is currently subscription hair, you won't be able to reselect it later (and I think even if you try other hair, it won't let you reset yourself back to your now subscriber hair, but not 100% on this).

  • Cerulean: we don't make a distinction between "using" and "keeping" (there'd be no point "keeping" an item if you couldn't use it). What you said is correct, but needs emphasis: subscriber-only options that you bought (i.e., paid credits for) are yours to keep after the subscription lapses.

    Beach Bum: we accidentally released some new hair and noses a few weeks ago as non-subscriber options and it took a while to notice that and change them back. But, we will occasionally change which options are free and which are for subscribers and we generally won't "compensate" by adding new free options: the game is free to play and subscriptions is one of the ways we make money. The payment is optional but if you don't pay, you have fewer choices. That's just the way life is!
