Hero and Villain Merits self destruct if you change alignment. You won't see them again. So if you have some and want to switch sides, use them.

Tips do not transfer from Villain side to Hero side and vice versa.
* They will go into Escrow when a character moves from the Rogue Isles to Paragon City and back.

I know they work differently but would think that if tips could be held in escrow, so could V or H merits.
I haven't tried switching a character yet, but I certainly hope that there is a notice presented in bold, flashing and bright colors that you will lose V or H merits if you switch sides because that is a huge loss to surprise you with.

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

He says the truff. So I feel no sympathies. Also, I think it says it on the A-Merit info if you right click on them.

The Tip contact also explains the whole process if you call him.
If you've only got one, go buy 5 recipe rolls if you're planning on switching.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
O well live and learn. I am happy to find out now when it was only one merit.
A-merits are to rewards those who stay true. Otherwise there wouldn't be a benefit/reason to not go rogue/vig if they stayed when you switched, and that is the reason the devs give for why they go poof.
Or is it.
I decided to go vill after i had purchased one merit. I did it cause i just wanted to familiarize myself with the process of using the new merit system.
I went Vig and then I went Vill and have had a nice time badge-Who&%ing I looked the other day and realzied that the 1 Hero merit i had was gone.
Now i assume that this is because im a villan now. But i was wondering when I go back to blue after the Dayjobs are done and clearly that is gonna take a while now. Will the Hero merit be there waiting for me.
Or should i Just do the vill merit thing for now and cash in before i go back to Blue?
Anyone have any knowledge about this.
