As far as I can tell, "VIP membership" is simply the new name for the current subscription system.
Indeed, you can't become a ViP because by the very nature of posting here you already are one.
As long as you remain a subscriber you'll be considered ViP. Nothing to do on your end but keep paying. If you cancel though you'll drop down to Premium level.

All the info we've gotten thus far hasn't listed a change in the way current (pay) subscriptions will work. The terminology has changed:
Subscriber = VIP... you are paying for your subscription (same as current).
Premium = Former Subscriber... you once paid the sub fees but have chosen to stop paying and play with limited access to game features. You will still retain any items/rewards that you've paid for or earned previously, and some additional perks for being a former subscriber (VIP). restricted content access.
Play for free = no previous game account. not paying a subscription fee. restricted content access.
They are basically taking the system we have now and adding the ability to continue playing as a premium member if you decide to stop paying monthly, quarterly etc., so the current payment plans available will likely not change at all.

Someone said (somewhere, probably in the big discussion thread) the "Play For Free" category is essentially an expanded version the free Trial that we have now. I think that is a good description.

To clarify - Premium isn't just former subscribers. Free accounts that star buying and using paragon points without actually subbing are Premium accounts too.

I'm fairly certain that any subscription option you see now will also be available when subscriptions turn into subscription VIP accounts.

My concern and question, is the Billing going to be like the Jetpack power you sell to where you have to keep logging in once a month to renew it or can you have the VIP membership automatically renew itself every month like the current billing cycle does? Also can you pay by the year as well for the VIP membership? |
