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.

Nicknames include preems, freemium, and premies.

Description

Premium Player account status is a result of the hybrid model adopted when City of Heroes Freedom launched. They include, but are not limited to:

  • Free Players joining the game since Issue 21, who have purchased points through the Paragon Market
  • Free Players who apply a Game Time Card to their account and then don't apply another to overlap it
  • Free Players who subscribed to City of Heroes Freedom and then let their subscription lapse
  • Returning Players who maintained a City of Heroes monthly subscription for at least 30 days or applied a game time card, any time from the game's launch in 2004 until the release of City of Heroes Freedom in late 2011
  • VIP players with a lapsed subscription
  • Secondary accounts of VIP players

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.
