Questions about the "unlimited free trial" thing.

[Flannel]

The official post left me with a bunch of questions, and they never really seemed to follow up or clarify it for me, so I was wondering if anyone had any info I may have missed or just didn't understand properly.

1. Does the "unlimited free trial" mean all content up to level 50?
2. Does the free trial still block access to Au Ra?
3. If you've purchased the base game & Heavensward and your subscription time runs out, what are the limits? Can you still access the game on that account, and if so can you access Heavensward content, including any Au Ra characters or characters over level 60?
4. Do I need to keep subscribing to FF14 in order to access the game since I bought it?
5. Do I need to keep subscribing to the game to access any/all Heavensward content, including Au Ra characters?

If you have brought the game you are no longer free trial, period. After your '30 day free sub' period you get with purchasing the base game you will have to pay a sub to continue accessing your account.

The free trial only gives access to ARR content - so no Au'ra and only up until level 35.

I found a link that shows what a Free Trial Account can and can't do.

If for whatever reason that link is dead I typed out what it links to.

So basically... You can't do anything unless if you keep paying. I really wish the game wasn't subscription locked still, because it's not that easy to keep up with them.
