Overview

A Premium Player is any non-subscription account holder who has ever spent money with NCsoft on the City of Heroes product. VIP Players whose subscriptions lapse turn into Premium Players. Premium Players may have limited access to some game features and systems. It is impossible to downgrade from a Premium Player to a Free Player.

Nicknames include preems, freemium, and premies.

Description

Premium Player account status is an intermediary access tier in the hybrid model adopted when City of Heroes Freedom launched, between Free Players and VIP Players. Premium Players include, but are not limited to:

  • Players joining the game as Free Players after Issue 21, who have purchased points through the Paragon Market
  • Players joining as Free Players after Issue 21, who subscribe (including Time Cards and Game Cards) or apply a retail code, and then let their subscription lapse
  • Returning players who applied a retail code to their account, subscribed to the game, or applied a game time card, at any time in the game's history, but do not renew their subscription after Freedom launch

The features and systems available to Premium Players compared to VIP Players are very strongly and directly tied to the Paragon Rewards Program. See also Converting from Veteran Rewards Program.
