Question about the free/trial account

[Maky.4259]

If you have a free account and then later on buy the expansions, do you get the lws of those times you logged in when you only had the free account?

[Shailyn Slay.7234]

Yes, unlocking of the current LW season happens for all accounts that log in during the correct time frame, independent on whether or not the account can access that season due to expansions owned.

Couldn't find an 'official' source but people in this thread pretty much all agree on the question.

Here's a reference in the Wiki: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_Season_4#Dates_of_free_accessAnd, from the Knowledge Base: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010688287-Guild-Wars-2-Path-of-Fire-FAQ

Q: Do I need to own Path of Fire to play future content releases?

A: Any episodes of the Living World (Season 4) or raid wings released after Path of Fire will require the expansion to play.

Note that if you don't own Path of Fire, you can still unlock the Living World episodes for free by logging in while the episode is available. Doing so will unlock and allow you to play the episode if you decide to pick up Path of Fire later on.
