I recently Bought 4 Races in SWTOR but i cant use them

Every time i try to make a new character it tells me that i need to buy the very same races that i have allready paid for this is very annoying considering that i really want to play as those races, if i dont get to use the races i paid for and claimed in the Cartel Store then i would like a refund.

    bear with me here as I don't know exactly why this hasn't worked but

    Each character has it's own phase of the cartel market so you can only claim the race unlocks on the character that bought them.  Once claimed from the market you have to right click them in your inventory to actually apply the unlock to your account. Just buying the unlock is not enough you have to claim and consume it.  All races are for the server you are on only, except : Cathar and Togruta which unlock for all servers.    Hope this helps.

    I have purchased the unlock for every race, claimed them with the character that I used to purchase them. Recently a friend started playing and is on a different server. When I switched servers to join him, only one of the unlocks transferred.

    @TaylorJL83

    If you simply started playing on another server with your friend and did not transfer a character over, your unlocks would not be on the new server. Unlocks like that would typically be Legacy specific and not account-wide.

    Character transfers are still on sale until the 12th of December, so if you transfer any of your characters over, your two legacies will merge, including unlocks, but not the legacy storage items.
