I assume as a paid account that when the VIP server goes live we will get 12 open slots on it or will we have to purchase slots to make new toons there ?

12 open slots, just like any other server. With the option to purchase more.

Maybe you should be "Call Me Paranoid". Nobody is going to be happy without a complete list of prices for every thing in the store and every Paragon Reward published yesterday and a complete list of what will never be available when you aren't a VIP subscriber (such as incarnate system).

We already had a day and a half of people fearing they were losing their extra slots on a server beyond 12 because the the comparison chart said 12 per.

The FUD over these last few days has been truly scary. On one hand this is a good indication of how passionate the current players are when it comes to this game, on the other it shows how insecure people are feeling in the current climate of a bad world economy.

I wasn't contradicting, I just hadn't seen the official word. In fact I was assuming that would be the case anyway.

On the whole freedom bit I'm a bit ambivalent about it although I don't see any major danger signs. Personally I'll be maintaining my sub anyway so most of it's a moot point for me. I understand that subscribers aren't going to be loosing anything.

Yes we assume because anything else that they could do for the number of slots on the VIP server would be stupid.

So yes based on the red name comments indicating that VIP's have a 12 unlocked slots per server that this includes the new VIP server.

Players, both current, and returning, keep all of their earned veteran rewards and you never lose anything you've earned or purchased, even if your VIP status lapses for a month.

If you are paying your subscription come City of Heroes Freedom, this is how many characters you'll have access to:
VIP ACCOUNT: 12 characters PER SERVER total (these are not moveable/transferrable. They are always unlocked on every server, just like today)
OWN GOING ROGUE BEFORE FREEDOM LAUNCH: Gain 2 more character slots
PER YEAR OF PAST SUBSCRIPTION: Add 1 character per year
PER PURCHASED CHARACTER SLOT (beyond standard 12 per server): Add 1 character per slot purchased
Other bonuses possible (+2 for being an i12 subscriber, etc.)
Nothing changes about your character options between being a subscriber now and being a subscriber when Freedom launches. (You WILL get access to the new VIP server, which means you'll be able to create 12 more characters if you desire.)

Also, if you ever become a free player, you get the two slots global slots for free players, PLUS any slots you've purchased. You will never lose anything you've purchased.

Really? Because your OP has a date of 6/24. Z's and B's posts were made on 6/21. So unless there was some sort of wacky time dilation that no one's aware of, I'm pretty sure you didn't. Ppbbbttthhh.
