While my husband waits to see if his old account still exists (none of the auto recover options work so we made him a new account and submitted a ticket, just have to wait for Monday or later for a reply), I wondered if there was even any benefits to having an old account if all we play on is a progression server? He stopped playing in 2005 or so. We rarely get the opportunity to play games these day, even more rarely together... with all our recent snow, we're wanting to jump at the chance lol
You'll likely have loyalty tokens to spend at the loyalty vendor in PoK on your old account, Given the age of the account it should be a silver account too which is a bit better on max limits than free accounts. Oops didn't notice the progression server mention in the title, not sure how that effects things.
An old account would not really have any advantage on TLP and you have to pay to play on TLP. If you play on live servers with the old account it is better than a F2P account, but not as good as a paid account. And its free.
An old account, assuming its not absurdly old, would have a few claims you might be able to use. Like HoT mounts and the dreamweaver satchel are claimable, some exp potions are claimable. Other than that, not much.
