Suggestion: make this forum for active accounts only

Pretty sure the forum is locked to people who have paid accounts... with one exception. If you cancel your account you lose access to the forums, but it's not immediate because of your session history which is what allows you to stay logged into the forums without having to enter your user ID and password every time. This will eventually clear, but I've heard it takes up to 6 months to happen after your session was created. So as long as you don't click the 'Logout' button after deactivating your account, you'll be able to access the forums until that session expires.

I log in and out everyday between my phone, PC, and laptop.

You get locked out when your sub runs out. Some people quit playing but bought 6 months worth so they can still post a bunch of topics since their time hasn't run out.

Not true I stop playing in October and only paid for 30 days.

I don't think it's a good idea.
If you've bought the game you most definitely should be able to post in forums, even if your account is currently inactive.

Also this:

Locking the forums from non-player view would block out people interested in the game that either had questions or wanted to see the state of the community/game from player viewpoints. Blocking posting would disallowed interested parties asking questions of a legitimate concern to them.

Not sure that would be a wise business practice honestly.

A more valid point: why post about a game you don't even play anymore? Get a life, lol @ you people.

I imagine a "view only" function. Interested parties can look at threads and read through the forums, but would be unable to post in them. People get the information they are looking for while stop gapping the trouble makers.

My suggestion go for this side.

tbh - i think there are more important topics to discuss than people with expired subs posting on forum , i bet the majority of people not playing anymore arent posting either anyway

Pretty sure you're not allowed to post after a month has lapsed from the time you've unsubscribed from the game. Some people have multi-month subs and aren't playing, yet can still post because they're still subbed. This was how it functioned in 1.0 anyway, so it may have changed since then. *shrug*

Like I said over and over again I unsubscribe 4 months ago and with no time left. I can still post.

Maybe I do got a life and its the reason I stop playing for awhile. That doesn't mean I don't like the game. With your petty attempt to insult peopleand real insight on the subject may I suggest you follow your own advice and get a life.
