| − | '''Paragon Rewards''' were introduced to take over where [[Veteran Rewards Program]] left off. Instead of granting a specific award every three months, Paragon Rewards grant a token every month, plus one for every full year (so a twelve month veteran has 13 tokens, a thirteen month veteran has 14 tokens, a 24 month veteran has 26 tokens, etc.), which allows the player to choose which reward he or she wants that month out of a tier-restricted "tree" of rewards. This means that players can take their rewards in the order they wish, though in order to advance to the next tier of rewards, a player's current rewards tier must be completely filled out. For instance, Tier 6 is comprised of seven rewards; in order to move on to Tier 7, all seven Tier 6 rewards must be chosen. Tiers are comprised of one to seven rewards, which include both previous Veteran Rewards Program items and new items. There are nine tiers of rewards, which includes a set of Tier 9 rewards at that are restricted to [[VIP Player]]s.

| − | Reward tokens are granted each month to any [[VIP Player]] and [[Premium Player]] ([[Free Player]]s cannot progress beyond Tier 1). Time purchased in multiple blocks grants all of the applicable reward tokens up front at the time of the purchase, instead of spreading them out once per month over the subscription: someone who buys a yearly subscription will be granted 13 tokens (12 monthly plus their "one year" token). Reward tokens are also granted for spending $15USD (/£?/€?) on the [[Paragon Market]], which equates to 1,200 [[Paragon Points]].

| − | Content unlocked via Paragon Rewards stays unlocked for that account, regardless of subscription status, except for the special Tier 9 VIP rewards. Additionally, Paragon Rewards are granted ''on top of'' the 400 Paragon Points a VIP Player is awarded each month for an active subscription. Additionally, if a player is Tier 9 VIP status, they get an extra 150 PP per month ''on top of'' the 400 points for a standard VIP subscription, for a total of 550 free PP per month.

| − | There are other awards that are unlocked automatically upon reaching a certain tier; for instance, [[Controller]]s and [[Mastermind]]s are restricted to Tier 5 (which requires accruing 9 reward tokens), but do not require ''spending'' a reward token to unlock them. Of course, both archetypes can be unlocked prior to this with a [[Paragon Points]] purchase on the [[Paragon Market]]. Similarly, the [[Mission Architect]] unlocks at various stages, beginning with being able to earn rewards at Tier 4 (6 tokens) and being able to create stories at Tier 6 (14 tokens); again, access to Mission Architect is available early on the Paragon Market.

| − | == Converting from Veteran Rewards Program ==
| + | |
| − | For a veteran from before [[City of Heroes: Freedom]] launch, it takes a simple math formula to assess the number of tokens an account will have.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | N/4 + N/12 (N = Number of months subscribed; round down)
| + | |
| − | +1 Token per month starting in July 2011.
| + | |
| − | '''{{red|Additional token per month starting date is assumed to coincide with the Paragon Points starting date; date is not confirmed; subject to change!}}'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some examples, using October as a launch date for Freedom (completely made up!), which is 4 months after July:
| + | |
| − | *A 24 month veteran would have 12 tokens (24/4 + 24/12 + 4)
| + | |
| − | *A 57 month veteran would have 22 tokens (57/4 + 57/12 + 4)
| + | |
| − | *An 84 month veteran would have 32 tokens (84/4 + 84/12 + 4)
