Most everything I had read on here has said Vets don’t bank XP if the account started as paid account if that makes sense. Hopefully others will chime in with more complete info.

My vet never banked any XP. You're good to go.

Yup, like they said - once the account has been subbed you'll never gain banked XP. As long as you didn't have any beforehand, you're good to go.

If you did start with a f2p that already had banked XP though, here's a post from the other day with some more info:

Locking XP doesn't eliminate banked levels, just prevents them from being cashed in and leveling you. If you turn your XP on while you're still subbed, you'll level.

You can lock your XP without a sub, but you can't turn it back on. So if you have banked levels, you need to lock XP before you sub, then put in a ticket to have a GM turn it back on for you after your sub expires.

@Fry did some awesome testing for it here - https://xpoff.com/threads/banked-xp-7-3-5-f2p-only-reuploaded.74864/#post-1113483. Everything I've seen has confirmed that after upgrading my f2p account. I haven't actually forced a character to level yet, but I still had banked levels after getting a GM to turn my XP back on.
