VIP is the same as current subscription.
Me, I'm being cautiously optimistic. I posted on a friends Facebook thread a link to Fonzie jumping the shark, but that is mostly tongue in cheek. I really hope that it breathes some new life into the game.

Then you get an additional token for every slot you've either bought or unlocked through the VET system. I imagine if you reactivate the account and let it lapse again, you can probably change which characters you unlock too. |

I'm going to look at this as something positive.  -Kult also - FAT BABY sighting! +1! Y U NO TEAM? |

You are mighty indeed.
I'm really feeling this, now.
So, if I am reading this correctly...
A free player can use local and team, but not broadcast or any other channel.
That right there means I don't really NEED to change my server to avoid the masses of lunatics and little kids that this will undoubtedly bring in. I just remove local from my chat tab and voila! A quiet server!
While I may transfer one or two of my toons that are duplicated to the premium server just because, I see no reason to not keep making Protector my home.
One question though, what is priority queuing? Are they expecting that much of an influx of people that we have to queue up a-la WoW to get in?

I dont plan on Xfering any of my main characters. I will probably start Kult over at 1 on the VIP (maybe even changing her powers up) as kind of an alternate time line version kind of thing.
As far as queuing - I guess they are HOPING for that many. Its nice that they are thinking proactively about it at least. Being such a low pop server ... I can't imagine it being as major a deal as what Freedom might need.

You know I don't mind new people ... They can't ALL be bad. I miss my fun SG. I'd totally be open to revitalize Mean Girls with fresh blood! (om nom nom) (yes I know that f2p can't join SGs but hopefully its something they can earn)
-Kult
That priority queuing thing will likely be a big deal for the first month or so.

Well, it's not that I'm worried about them disrupting my play....it's just...one of the things I love about protector (you know, aside from the awesome people and stuff) is that the server is nice, quiet, and lag free. |

I guess a small influx of fresh meat would be nice, though.
I do not like this.
I'm not quitting Playing CoH, or anything like that. But I don't like this.

The more I hear about it, the less apprehensive I'm getting. That doesn't mean I'm happy with the changes. I don't like change. I'm an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of person. But I'm not nearly as horrified that it means CoH is dying as I was.
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

Have they said what the VIP price is going to be? Hopefully the same as it is now.
Also, I would love some info on the Time set. What is it? Defender, Scrapper? What!!!!?!
Edit: Oh YAY! It's a defender set! Woot!
