 If a VIP Player with fewer than 8 reward tokens allows their subscription to lapse and they have characters with more inf than their cap allows on hand, they are ''allowed to keep'' the extra inf. However, new inf will not be earned until the character drops below their cap, either by spending it or trading it with other characters (their own via [[Mail System|email]] or another player's via direct trade or email).

-To the new player, or even many advanced players, it may seem confusing at first to refer to the in-game currency as "Influence", "Infamy", or "Information" rather than something more descriptive and intuitive such as "Credits" or "Dollars".
+To the new player, or even many advanced players, it may seem confusing at first to refer to the in-game currency as "Influence", "Infamy", or "Information" rather than something more descriptive and intuitive such as "Credits", "Dollars", "Gold/Silver/Copper"
 To understand what's meant by these names, a player must understand the concept of "abstraction". Like many of the aspects of game play, currency has been abstracted to provide more room for role-playing and player character development. This allows more room for a wider array of characters to interact with the in-game economy.

-'''Influence''', '''Infamy''', and '''Information''' are the three currencies used within City of Heroes. Influence is the currency for [[Hero (Alignment)|heroes]], infamy is the currency for [[Villain (Alignment)|villains]], and information is the currency of [[Praetorian (Alignment)|Praetorian]]. In terms of game mechanics, all three currencies are equivalent and are often referred to as '''inf'''.
