== Membership == | |||
EQ has three levels of membership, of which only two are available for new players. Note that all levels of membership do not include the latest expansions (currently ''[[Torment of Velious]]'' and ''[[Claws of Veeshan]]''), which must be purchased separately. Purchasing the latest expansion will grant you all previous expansions. | |||

Beginning players default to the Free level of membership. They have access to most of the content in the world of Norrath. There are certain content, feature, and service limitations that are only unlocked through a la carte item purchases or by upgrading membership to another tier. Initially, these accounts were limited to a choice of four classes and four races, as well as limit on how much platinum they could store, but these restrictions were later dropped. | Beginning players default to the Free level of membership.

$5.00 USD. | |||
To become a Silver member there was a one-time item purchase called the "Silver Membership Pack," which cost $5.00 USD or 500 Station Cash. That pack granted two additional character slots per server, better chat options, extra inventory capacity, raised your quest journal limit, gave you the ability to create guilds, and more. Once you purchased a Silver Membership Pack, you were permanently raised to that membership level. There was no recurring fee for this pack or membership. | To become a Silver member there was a one-time item purchase called the "Silver Membership Pack," which cost $5.00 USD or 500 Station Cash.
