Dark Enhancement - Are they working?

I'm returning from a haitus from CoX. I had let me subscription lapse when I wandered off to play Fallen Earth for a while.

I'm back, got VIP membership & all that jazz. I unlocked one of my old lvl 50 corrupters just to herp & derp around with. This particular 50 has a bunch of IO's on it. However, I notice that the IO sets appear to be dark, as if they're out-dated.

I was under the impression these never expired. Are they still working? Are they in some type of suspended state because it was an old character?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Non-VIP accounts don't have access to IOs by default; what was the time gap between you renewing your subscription and seeing the inactive IOs? Sometimes it can take a little bit of time before the account server updates.

Gotcha...so any character that had IO's will see them go dark unless I have VIP status. I had assumed that anything I had slotted previously would be grandfathered in.

Thanks! I haven't checked back since I activated my VIP account to see if this is corrected. I'll have a look-see.

You can also buy a monthly invention license if you're a Preemie that allows you to make and slot IOs for about $5 worth of points a month. (Less if you purchase points in bulk.)
