Notes
There is no scheduled release date set for Issue 21. However, if previous release schedules are an indicator, it should be live by approximately the end of fall 2011.
Starting with Issue 21, City of Heroes will be know as City of Heroes Freedom and change from a Pay-to-Play system to a hybrid system. Current City of Heroes will continue as VIP players, and may accrue 400 Paragon Points per month starting on their first billing cycle after July 1, 2011. At the launch of City of Heroes Freedom, you will be able to use Paragon Points to purchase new costumes, Power Sets, and hundreds of new items from the in-game Paragon Market. The new Paragon Rewards program also rewards all levels of loyal players with new bonus content that you select, including exclusive rewards for VIP players.
