Release Notes - December 16, 2008

[William]

* Players who have been reverted to Velvet Rope status will no longer be able to use the number keys to access premium skills or ammo

It doesn't say you can't use them, just that the access will not be available by pressing the number key.

Unfortunately this means that those who used to be unlimited and have been reverted to basic access members are not able to use skills that are locked for basics.

For example, during the free weekend i unlocked the curse skill of the voodoo doll, but after the free weekend ended i was reverted to basic access and was still able to use that skill by pressing 4. Now i can't.

I think that in my case it is fair not being able to use it any more cause I have never paid for an unlimited account, but those who have paid, they should be able to use those skills.
