Well, assumed you have a gold account and among other things a Ring of Fighting in your inventory.
Now your account expires and you dont have the money to renew it.
In this case you're still able to log (
as trial) into GK with your account. Your stats and items are not available for you.
One month later you get some platinums - pardon - some real money and buy new gold for your account and
tataaa
your old stats and your beloved Ring of Fighting are there as they was before.
