So I had a Gold supporter subscription, but now it has expired. While I had it, I claimed a second res on SMP1. Now I want to unclaim that res and claim a new one on SMP9. I know that SS can help you move it- but I don't want to because there's really nothing on it. If I unclaim the res, will it be permanently lost? Or will I still have a 2 res limit?
You'll permanently lose the residence if you unclaim it unless you were either a diamond supporter or you used a max res voucher. I'm pretty sure that the SS moving service requires you to have a spare residence slot too, correct me if I'm wrong.
You can easily check this for yourself by using the /res command. It it says 2/1 then you will indeed lose it, but if it says 2/2 then you can safely unclaim and get another residence somewhere else. Good question, I need to add this to my guide on 'what happens if your voucher runs out' Which you might want to check out as well since it'll explain exactly what's going to happen when... etc
My understanding is that if you have the 2 reses with a gold voucher, you keep em after it expires. Then, if for some reason you decide to unclaim a res, you lost the res slot until you upgrade again. This will be changing soonish though.
