Yup - you won't notice any change if you keep paying your monthly sub.

Meanwhile i earn points to redeem new content in i21 and going forward? As a paying player i shouldnt have to redeem any new content going forward.
This is instead of booster packs - extras on top of your sub.

As with this F2P business model, i can already see it:

VIP: 800 points earned.
new Costume Pack: 1000 points.
new Zone: 5000
new powerset 2000
"DARN!"

NcSoft: You can buy 1000 points for an extra $10!
Me: But im already subscribed!!!
As much as I don't tend to like this... at least this isn't the case.

VIP - you're paying your sub. You basically get everything, and get 400 points a month (think that's what they threw) - which you can use in the store. Booster packs are going away for an item store.

(*vomits a little at that.*)

Premium, you're not paying but you've "bought something in the past" so you get a few more perks, but will have to buy access to other stuff.

Heh, llike that $15 a month doesn't 'pay' for the content update.

There will be some stuff that you will need to redeem the points for (from my understanding, this will mainly be costumes and temp powers / buffs).

There will also be content that VIPs will get for free (well, included in your subscription), and that "premium" players will need to pay for (from my understanding, this will be things like the new monthly story arcs, new trials, new Task Forces and new powersets)
