First of all, i'm sorry if this is already answered somewhere else, I honestly DID look, but to no avail.

Anyway, Im totally new to DR. In fact, I haven't even played it yet.

I bought the retail disc, (cmon', $20 is a steal) and since I have 6 months of membership with that, I had a couple questions.

Now my understanding is that being a member makes you more likely to get good gear, has all kinds of benefits, and those fancy little bling gnomes.

My question is, when your membership runs out, do you lose all the rare items you obtained?

Do you lose your bling gnome?


What else should I know about being a member?

Thanks in advance, I look foward to playing! (Patching right now >.<)

Q: Now my understanding is that being a member makes you more likely to get good gear, has all kinds of benefits, and those fancy little bling gnomes.
A: No, but you will be able to wear all gear you find which non-members can't. And yes, there are benefits such as more Exp, more Bank, The Bling Gnome and more.

Q: My question is, when your membership runs out, do you lose all the rare items you obtained?
A: No, you'll keep them but you won't be able to wear the member-items though.

Q: Do you lose your bling gnome?
A: Nope, he's yours to do whatever you want with. Ehh... Without breaking any laws that is.

Q: What else should I know about being a member?
A: Avoid world 1!

Are you sure?
As far as I know, the gnome vanishes after 6months if you don't upgrade again.

He's not a members only feature but a "thanks for buying the box" feature, meaning that even if you're membership runs out you'll still get to keep the gnome.

Oh, thats cool.
I thought I lose him once I run outta money ^^

Hahaha, no you don't have anything to worry about.
