So yeah, I switched my Cryptic account to a PW account and now have a 10,000,000 EC cap on my account. I was informed this wouldn't happen. I've filed a GM report. Is this happening to everyone who has done the same?

    Unless you want to buy a "lockbox ship" off the Exchange, in which case, you need to have ~90 million EC.

    Okay, first part. I was a subscriber for quite some time and I was told that going to silver wouldn't affect this. So they are stealing from me?

    Second, you are totally off base. I definitely need more than 10m EC and there's no way in hell I'm going to pay to get the cap removed.

    365m cash on hand.

    Been buying and selling all day and watching the ec number go up and down.

    I haven't seen an issue.

    Did you check in the cstore to see if the cap was still listed as purchased?

    Yeah, I did check the C-Store and it lists it like I have to purchase it.

    I;d open up a ticket then and point out that you have purchased it. Include the date of your purchase if you remember it.

    Actually, Cryptic never said you would keep the 'Gold' 10 Billion EC Cap... They'd only said you would keep C-Store purchases and Rank-Up inventory gains...

    You didn't actually 'purchase' the 10 Billion EC cap, it was a property of having a subscription. By deciding to revert to 'Silver' you also reverted to the 10 Million EC Cap. (And Cryptic has always said that 'Silver' accounts would not have all the Perks of a 'Gold' subscription account) And I've posted in many a thread warning about the reduction of the EC Cap when you go 'Silver'...

    If you can't live with the 10 Million EC cap, you could always make the one time account wide 10 Billion EC cap from the C-Store, as its not that expensive...

    I didn't get the cap when I went silver, it happened when I switched accounts to PW. To be honest, I don't remember if I purchased the 10 billion cap with silver or not. The fact of the matter is, my account got capped when I switched to PW and that is not supposed to be happening.

    I did get the cap when I went silver, in January or something. If you've had no cap for six months without paying anything, count yourselves lucky.
