Auction House, Influence and Going Premium

I had a couple of questions about going from VIP to premium and its effects on some aspects. I have searched, but haven't found the answers. Apologies if I somehow missed them.

I understand that you will lose access to IOs. These will be greyed out, and unavailable until reaching the appropriate reward level, or upgrading to VIP status.

How does it work for influence over the reduced cap? As I understand, going to premium has your influence cap lowered from two billion to one. If I had a character that had, say, 1.5 billion, would the remaining 500 million be inaccessible until such a time where I return to VIP status? Or is it gone permanently?

Similarly with items on the auction house. If I had items there (in any capacity - whether it be stored/sold/bidding/what have you) would those be permanently lost in the event I switched to premium? Or again, simply temporarily unavailable?

I would hate to lose anything that I invested any time in be lost if I opted to go premium temporarily, or if for any reason my account lapsed for a day or two.

Thanks in advance!




Thank you, Champion.

Not sure about the inf cap question, but I do believe that the Auction house interface simply becomes inaccessible to you - the items would remain.

Be that as it may, why would you want to leave anything at the Auction House? Make up a quick solo SG Base if you don't have any already. Then get an Inf to Prestige infusion from Fulmens and get yourself some enhancement bins. Rare Salvage is super cheap nowadays, so craft up any recipes you've been hanging on to drop them into your bins.


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

I was gearing more toward items that were in a bid/selling/unclaimed status. I only really included "stored" for completeness' sake.

I don't actively store items in the Auction House (though I have nearly filled all of my storage in my base! If only coalitions could utilize each others' storage, sigh), but wanted to make sure I wouldn't lose something in the event of something unforeseen, like if my credit card were lost/stolen or if my wife went on some crazy spending spree... or if I went on some crazy spending spree.




Thank you, Champion.

If you leave stuff in the auction house, they will still sell or be bought so there are plenty of reasons to leave bids up, as you will be able to access them once you go VIP or get the auction house license

I've read in this forum somewhere that if your Inf cap drops from going VIP to premium, it just means you can't gain anymore inf until you drop under the cap. You can still use up the inf that's over the cap, send it off to other characters, w/e.
