VIP Server<\/strong><\/p>\n

First and foremost, it\u2019s optional. If you are a VIP subscriber you can play on any server. Premium and Free players can play on any server\u00a0except <\/em>the VIP one. Second, it\u2019s a brand new server. We are not going to take an existing server and make it the VIP server. That would be unfair to all other server communities and counter to one of our goals, which is for your friends to try out (or come back to) City of Heroes and play with you at no cost.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m glad they are offering this option (to assuage the “OH NOES! NOOBS!” fears), but, honestly, I have no desire at this point to be off on a VIP server.<\/p>\n

Supergroup Transfers (Including bases)<\/strong>
\nThis is something we anticipated and are actively working on, but it likely won\u2019t be ready for City of Heroes Freedom\u2019s launch. We are committing to bringing you this service in the future and it won\u2019t be just to the VIP server, it will be between any server. It will likely require the Supergroup\u2019s Super Leader to actually execute the transfer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s actually a clever idea, as they’ve made server moves easier and now created a “different” (VIP) server.<\/p>\n

Restricted Archetypes<\/strong>
\nFree and Premium players are not allowed to make or play Masterminds, Controllers, Soldiers of Arachnos, or Kheldians. There are many reasons behind this, not the least of which is the extra CPU drain some of these Archetypes can have on the servers. We want all players (free and VIP) to have a smooth gaming experience and if that means we\u2019re going to restrict some Archetypes to ensure that, we will.<\/p>\n

However, the Paragon Rewards program has an \u201cunlock\u201d for Masterminds and Controllers at Tier 5 (which is about a three-year CoH veteran status). So if you have enough veteran status at the launch of City of Heroes Freedom, you will be able to play these restricted archetypes on a Premium account on day one. As always, we’ll be chatting more about the Paragon Rewards in the coming weeks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I just tweeted something about this that didn’t mention Arachnos or Kheldians (though both also make sense).<\/p>\n

(Though, honestly — haven’t seen any Kheldians lately. Does anyone still play them? \u00a0Tempted to give it a try, again.)<\/p>\n

First Ward\u2019s Level range<\/strong>
\nFirst Ward is a zone in Praetoria, continuing many of the storylines of that world. It takes place from levels 20 to 26.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I suspected. Glad to see more Praetoria content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
