So, your account gets updated from free to premium once you buy a month or more of VIP access or any ammount of Turbine Points?

And you get Monk and WF 4 fr33 4 3v3r after purchasing the VIP account upgrade or any ammount of Turbine points bought with a creditcard/other payment method?

I did search in these forums and in the FAQ topic, but didn't find this, I did however see that list in the compedium... but didn't quite get it...

You become premium after you spend a certain amount of money in the DDO store.

WF/Monk are unlocked automatically once you go VIP, but unless you pay for them from the store..the moment you go back to Premium, they become locked again until you purchase them (in which case they become unlocked on all servers on THAT account).

no you have to purchase Monk and WF if you want to play them as a preme. if you go ViP for a while make a monk and WF then drop vip you will not be able to play your monks or WF untill you buy them.

No if your account is premium you have to buy WF and monk after your 30 days of VIP. Best thing ive found IS get your one month and favor grind like crazy to add more tp on top of the 500 they give you for vip,then you should be able to buy the stuff you want pretty easily.

Here is some more info on the differences in "Premium" and "VIP" accounts, most of your questions should be answered here. :)

You can buy the smallest amount of TP possible, but as soon as you use real money you are premium, there isn't a money limit you have to hit.

WF/Monk will become locked with the gold coin asking you to buy them every time you log in, until you buy them/ subscribe/ delete them.

And I saw that thing, but I got confused at this part:


Which races and classes are basic, premium, and favor based?

* Basic races and classes include: Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Human, Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard
* Premium races and classes are: Warforged and Monk
* The following races and classes can be earned for free using the Favor system: Drow and Favored Soul

Yeah, that gets a bit confusing when they call them "Premium races and classes" but they aren't actually tied to having a premium account in any way.

Also want to point out that the new races Half-Orc and Half-Elf are also VIP/Store bought as well.

On Adventure Packs for premium accounts, "some" adventures are free. Are those the same ones you get for free as a Free Account player? Or do you get bonus ones? :)

I just roll my eyes and move along... no need to waste logical, educated, comments on childish ones.
