It's a way for new players to get a jump into the game for a month prior to Freedom's launch.

It comes with a free month of game time. For those who might be interested in checking out CoH:Freedom, it's basically an opportunity for them to become a "VIP" member for only $1.99 instead of $14.99.
For those of us who are already subscribers, it's not really meant for us.

Actually it's an opportunity for free players to get a cheap upgrade to Premium. For just $2. bucks they can get a free month as a VIP and when the 30 days run out they'll enjoy all the benefits of a Premium account instead of the restrictive limitations of a free account.

Unfortunately they caught this as it must be applied to a new account so no cheap months subs for most of us |

Basically consider its purpose to be that of a cheap unrestricted trial account.
Mind of Gaia lvl 50 Defiant's first Mind/Storm 'troller.
Deadly Doc 50 Dark/Dark Corr
and lots more on Pinnacle,Union and Defiant
It's meant to introduce new players, who are waiting for the F2P to come out, to a taste of what they will be missing when their account drops to Premium. The carrot is 400PP and Tier 2 access for $2.
BTW, Tier 2 grants the following
Paragon Reward Meter Tier 2 Permissions
Unlocked By: Earning the Trustworthy badge from the Paragon Rewards Program meter.
All Players Receive the Following:
• Join Supergroups
• Supergroup Chat
• Additional Chat Channel (Tells)
• Trading
• Increased Maximum Influence (500,000,000) from 25,000,000
• Increase Inventory Size (+2 Salvage & Vault, +1 Recipe)
• Email Access
• Play Mission Architect (no rewards)
Since the Freedom announcement, sites like Massively have already tagged this game as F2P when it still isn't. I would imagine that finding only a limited Free trial (until what 2 days ago) would be a bit of a downer since you can hit Level 14 rather quickly.
It also seeds potential use of the Paragon Market. How many characters can someone create in a month of play? Opportunity to sell them character unlock slots if they drop to premium. What if they fall in love with MM or Controllers? AT license sales. MA access? Inventions? Base Editing? If they find that they've accessed to many of the license/VIP features they may even subscribe.
It's tough to know what you are missing without experiencing it first. This is a way for NCSoft/Paragon to do this.

Umm, what is that? Looks like you can buy the game for $1.99, but, I already have it. I'm assuming we don't need it. Sounds like a dumb question.
