    Your Account will be marked as Premium as you have spent real money at some point

    Once an Account has spent money, it can NEVER drop to F2P

    Also depending on purchases:

    Any new toons you create WILL have the Premium Restrictions on them (apart from the Expacs)
    So you may need to purchase "some" quest packs and other stuff that is "per toon"

    I'm assuming you're currently VIP? If you cancel your subscription you won't go F2P, you'll become Premium since you've spent money on the game.

    Assuming all your character slots were filled, 2 of your choice will be locked and unusable. You can get them back by buying more slots from the store. If you already had 16-17 characters, there will be no way to get the 2 chosen back other than going VIP again.

    Your gold limit will drop to 5, unless you buy the currency cap removal. Any gold more than 5 will be held in escrow until the cap is unlocked.

    You'll only be able to post 5 auctions at a time, unless you buy more posting slots.

    You'll lose access to all zones except for Ered Luin, Bree, Shire, Lonelands, and any included in expansions you've bought.

    You'll lose access to about half the skirmishes, as well as Halls of Night and Forsaken Inn.

    You'll lose access to the Ettenmoors (I think, not 100% sure on this one).

    You'll be able to finish the current tier of your crafting Guild, but won't be able to start new tiers beyond Journeyman.

    I think you'll lose your shared wardrobe, but not 100% sure on this one either.

    You'll lose rest XP and the ability to spend destiny points.

    Just some clarifications:
    • Any character played while you are VIP will have the currency cap removed. The cap will only apply to new characters.
    • You'll lose access to all skirmishes that are not part of an expansion (eg. Moria, Mirkwood) except for Tuckborough and Gondamon.
    • You retain your shared wardrobe access for slots filled during VIP, but you can no longer add anything to those slots unless they have been unlocked. (So if you filled all 20 slots when you were VIP, you can still access those outfits, you just can't put anything new in until you unlock the spaces.)

    There are post VIP benefits.

    You can finish any deeds your started in a region. (this does not include Advanced if you didn't finish the basic half)
    no gold cap
    You can finish your crafting guild tier, but you cant start a new one
    You keep your mount skill as long as you unlocked it after lvl 20
    All trait slots are unlocked

    your status will go from VIP to premium, so you get all premium benefits.

    This is only true for new characters and characters who you didn't log in to while VIP. All characters that logged in while VIP keep the unlimited gold, 5 bags, all traits unlocked, and swift travel.
