What is PREMIUM and PREMIUM PLUS? What does each one give, and which should I choose?
PREMIUM comes in two versions, and PREMIUM PLUS includes everything regular PREMIUM gives. So it isn't an either/or choice — PREMIUM PLUS is simply the bigger package.
PREMIUM
• Access to Premium servers
• Free queue skip on servers
• Unique nickname colour
• One free cassette every day in Free Supply
• 250 Silver for logging in once a day
PREMIUM PLUS — all of the above, plus
• More XP from Battle Pass daily quests
• +50% XP gain
• +50% crafting speed
• Repair Cupboard upkeep costs reduced by 50% — for cupboards you placed yourself
• 500 Silver for logging in once a day
The upkeep discount goes by who placed the cupboard, not by who is authorized in it. It won't apply to a friend's cupboard just because you're authorized there, and it applies to your own cupboard even if nobody else in it is subscribed.
Which one to choose
Take regular PREMIUM if what you want is access to Premium servers, skipping the queue and the daily silver. Take PREMIUM PLUS if you also want the gameplay bonuses — faster levelling, faster crafting and a cheaper base to maintain.
If you buy PREMIUM while PREMIUM PLUS is active
PREMIUM PLUS already includes every PREMIUM benefit, so a PREMIUM bought while PREMIUM PLUS is running doesn't add anything on top of it. The purchase itself is credited to your account straight away. You can see the dates for both in the store, in the PREMIUM section.
