It's not complicated.
Any account that is active and remains active when Freedom goes live will be a VIP account.
Any account that was active at any point prior to going F2P and goes inactive will automatically be a Premium account when Freedom goes live.
Any account that was simply a trial account and was never active will be a Free account until they activate it or buy something from the ingame store.

Think of it this way: The master account is with NCsoft. The game account is specific to that game -and- can't see the master account nor the other game accounts.
Each game account is handled separately. There should be no difficulty.

Maybe this would be a better response?

One of the most exciting prospects of City of Heroes Freedom, to us, is the fact that players who no longer play the game will return. They'll have a chance to reestablish lost connections and renew friendships years old, all because they're going to automagically be made into premium players with their old accounts. Premium players won't have many of the restrictions that Free accounts will, and when Free accounts see the amazing Community surrounding them, they'll have the option to make the jump to either VIP or to Premium and enjoy some of the benefits we have to offer. |
