Pretty sure the Devs themselves have said they were going to be periodically changing. The real question is how often will that be happening. I get the feeling the Devs themselves are not totally sure on that yet.

I wouldn't expect them to change more than 3-4 times a year. Figure a VIP is getting 12 tokens a year ignoring purchases. If they stick with splitting the VIP costumes up to 3 tokens (not something I'm 100% on board with, but anyways), I would think they would want people to be able to get the entire set by using just thier "free" tokens before it rotates out.|

Just wondering, since I'm sitting on one extra token and already have the full Celestial set. Was trying to decide if I should hold onto it for something over the horizon, or just pick up some enhancement boosters.
CoH has been unique in the sea of cloned MMOs.There are years of possibilities still
in such a well designed, well supported and well loved game.Shutting it down now doesn't
make sense on any level except, perhaps, on some spreadsheet�s bottom line. I do not
consider this an act of a company that has the interests of its customers at heart.This
calls into question why I would want to be part of any further ventures involving NCSoft.
They're currently re-evaluating how T9 VIP rewards will cycle, so I don't think the Celestial stuff is going anywhere for the time being.

They were originally supposed to rotate every 3 months, but as DarkGob said, they are re-evaluating how to handle them now.

As Gob and Justice said but didn't elaborate on they're rethinking it because the cycling was planned when you could buy a year sub and get 12 tokens up front. That didn't work out. Thus the re-evaluation.
I thought I read somewhere that the the VIP Tier 9 Reward options where going to be changing from time to time. As in, the 3 Celestial costume options would eventually go away, and we'd get some other "VIP Only" item for Tier 9 for a limited time. Now I'm wondering where I got that from. I don't have the game in front of me (at my job they frown on that for some reason). Perhaps it's in the description in game on the VIP Tier 9 level?
Bonus question: How does the UI handle displaying that you chose a "repeatable" Tier 9 reward? If I dropped 2 tokens into the Enhancement Booters choice, does it have a little "2" in that spot or something, so you know where your tokens went?
