Dude holy crap! This is what has been missing from my f2p twinking for a long time.
Look forward to seeing people in-game again.
Thanks for your hard work on this.
As someone who played a lot during the original glory days of free-to-play twinking, yeah a lot of the changes are pretty great.
It's a very different feel than before and I do miss the days of Aerie Peak comraderie and the development of the F2Paddon etc.
But having access to so much PVE...
Oh, I see what you mean.
Honestly making a linked account and leveling a F2P takes maybe 3 hours or something. It's not that big of a hassle.
Also the fact that it works this way is what has made this probably the best twinking bracket in the last ten years. It's actually a good thing, even if...
If you have a 20 on a paid account, just unlock XP and then stop playing. Then let your account run out. You'll now have a 20 vet twink with unlocked xp who can queue with everybody else.
All "trial" characters whether vet or pure F2P can now hold up to 1k gold.
Vet means you were on a paid sub that you allowed to lapse, but stayed under the 20 trial cap, so that you could continue playing for free after that.
F2P is a free to play account that has never had a paid subscription...
Yeah so I actually just went and checked and I can access Chromie Time on my linked F2P.
Now I guess I have to figure out what that actually affects. beyond LFG queues.
