By fee per month, do you mean in real money, or in in-game currency (like influence/infamy)? If it's the first, I dunno. If it's the second, bases/supergroups have their own special currency called "Prestige".

In order to earn prestige, you must be in an existing Supergroup (or make your own after level 10), AND, you must enable "SG Mode". You will earn Prestige along with XP and Inf, but you'll earn slightly less inf from mobs. Also, Prestige isn't kept on an individual character: It's automatically banked into the SG's coffers.

You must be in a supergroup, AND have base edit permissions, to do anything with a base. You can enter other SG bases, provided that you are in a coalition, or you're on a team where the leader is in an SG. But you can't do much other than look around and use zone teleporters.

As for fees, "Base rent" is assessed by how much storage you have in your base. So if you have 5 storage containers, your base rent will be 5000 Prestige a month. Base rent is paid at the Super group Registar (either in Atlas Park or Port Oakes). Any active member can pay the base rent, AND use their own Inf to "buy" Prestige at a 1000:1 ratio or something ridiculous like that (that is, a thousand inf for one prestige... and it's only available in blocks of 1,000 prestige, so you better have lots of inf to trade!)

Hope that answers your questions =)

The fee is based on having certain items in your base (primarily storage items and empowerment stations) and for most such items is 100 prestige per month (a few items are 200 or 300)

Base access can be granted to characters who meet one of three requirements:
1. Member of the SG
2. Member of an SG that is in a Coalition with the SG
3. Member of a team which has an SG member as the team leader

Since the fee is prestige all members can work towards it either by playing in Supergroup Mode or by donating inf (at a horribly inefficient ratio).

Additionally check out this thread, Fulmens is offering a very nice inf matching scheme for players willing to burn some inf for prestige to help new SGs (defined as less than 500K prestige). His current offer is that if you convert 50 million inf to prestige, he'll convert another 250 million inf, giving your SG 600K prestige to get off the ground.

The ability to join a Supergroup is granted at Tier 2 so a free member will need to make some purchases and upgrade to premium before they can join the SG.

OK, from what you just said, on the coalition part. I am taking a wild guess,

For my other characters on the same server, do i have to have each one make a SG and then make a coalition form each group so all my same guys can have access to the same room for storage etc, on my so called main char....

thanks

No, coalition members can access the base (to use teleporters and such) but cannot access base storage. If you want all of your characters to access the same base storage then you will need to have them all be a part of the same super group. Since you cannot invite offline characters to a SG that means either finding a friend to help you with invites or getting a second account and using that to invite your other characters (the second account will need to be at Tier 2 in Paragon Rewards so it'll cost you a little bit to set up).
