#REDIRECT [[Account#Premium]]
== Overview ==
+
A '''Premium Player''' is any non-subscription account holder who has ever spent money with [[NCsoft]] on the [[City of Heroes]] product.  [[VIP Player]]s whose subscriptions lapse turn into Premium Players.  Premium Players may have limited access to some game features and systems. It is impossible to downgrade from a Premium Player to a [[Free Player]].
+
 
+
Nicknames include ''preems'', ''freemium'', and ''premies''.
+
 
+
== Description ==
+
Premium Player account status is an intermediary access tier in the hybrid model adopted when [[City of Heroes Freedom]] launched, between Free Players and VIP Players. Premium Players include, but are not limited to:
+
 
+
* Players joining the game as Free Players after [[Issue 21]], who have purchased points through the [[Paragon Market]]
+
* Players joining as Free Players after Issue 21, who subscribe (including [[Time Card]]s and [[Game Card]]s) or apply a retail code, and then let their subscription lapse
+
* Returning players who applied a retail code to their account, subscribed to the game, or applied a game time card, at any time in the game's history, but do not renew their subscription after Freedom launch
+
 
+
The features and systems available to Premium Players compared to VIP Players are very strongly and directly tied to the [[Paragon Rewards Program]].  See also [[Reward Token#Converting from Veteran Rewards Program|Converting from Veteran Rewards Program]].
