This article is about the account level in the tiered Free-to-Play system introduced in Issue 21. For the accolade badge, see V.I.P. Badge.

Template:Issue21

Overview

VIP Players are subscribed accounts in good standing. Any form of subscription counts for VIP status, including monthly payments, paying for blocks of time, and free months included in box sets. VIP Players get 400 Paragon Points for free each month they are subscribed, to make purchases from the Paragon Market. VIP Players have little restriction within the game, especially long-time subscribers, as Paragon Rewards awards a lot of the unlockable content for free over time. Additionally, any player who had an account prior to going free-to-play still has access to any Veteran Rewards they may have accrued.

VIP Players that unsubscribe for any reason are downgraded into Premium Players, and must adhere to any restrictions placed on them due to their new designation, although any purchased or rewarded unlockable piece is still available even if normally restricted from Premium Players (e.g. purchased character slots, costumes or powers awarded through Veteran Rewards or Paragon Rewards).

Nicknames include veeps and elites.

Subscriptions

It has been confirmed that multi-month subscriptions will recieve all Paragon Reward Tokens upfront/at the time of billing, while the Paragon Points for the Paragon Market will be doled out on the monthly "bill date".(Discussion: Freedom Fridays on Facebook!)
