VIP = maintaining a subscription. You can let your sub lapse and become Premium for the duration of not subscribing. You can resubscribe and become VIP again.
Premium = previously VIP but not currently subscribing *OR* previously free but bought PP for use on the market.
Free = accounts created after Freedom launches and have never bought PP or subscribed or applied a retail code *OR* trial accounts created before August 17 and have never bought PP or subscribed or applied a retail code.
edit: if you're really an eight year vet (which is impossible but hey! we'll pretend) you will only lose the VIP-only (e.g. VIP server, Incarnate system, etc.) and PP-only bonuses (e.g. Beam Rifle, Rocket Board, etc.)...everything else should be unlocked via veteran rewards (e.g. MMs and Controllers, invention system, etc).

VIP = active subscription. Say Freedom launches in September. If you pay for your subscription in September, October, and December, but not in November your account will be a VIP in September, October, and December. During November, your account will be a Premium account with all the applicable restrictions.|

Or even if your account is down at the time but when you are able to buy time and come back that account will become VIP or a normal account?

It confused me understanding it all and wasn't sure about it all so I'd thought I'd ask. So I'll be a prem/vip player either way. If I pay i'll be a vip if I dun I'll be a prem alright makes sence I believe I understand now =o ty.

When they switch to Hybrid F2P mode they will add two account types. Free and Premium. So a full list of accounts would look like this. Free, Premium, & Subscriber.
Now that looks a bit funny so they decided to spruce up the subscriber name and instead call it VIP. Thus Subscriber = VIP. Now a list of valid account types will look like - Free, Premium, & VIP.
As you can see that looks a bit spiffier than the former list. Mind you people still trip over the fact that VIP = Subscriber. Ah well.
