Though, it does limit one's ability to threaten a /ragequit.

Technically you have NO ability to threaten a /ragequit anymore. The worst you can do nowadays is a /ragedowngradetopremium.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Except that this is an ongoing phenomenon - The Devs know it, the CCs know it and have (allegedly) passed those concerns up the chain of command.
It takes seismic external changes to make them give the EU players parity... but guess what, when they need to, the do it quickly.
We have many years of evidence to know EU members are the red-headed stepchild when it comes to NCSoft.

The developers, community relations, customer support, and even the producers can't fully control this. To look at who sets the pricing, look to NCsoft EU. They are apparently looking for a Senior Marketing Manager.

I personally been under the impression for many months now, that they want to stop all of the EU playing CoH, and make all the EU CoV only, that way we are segregated and put in our place.
Don't worry those in the EU, every now and then we get to raid Paragon and get some bit's as well
+1 to list that won't bother with this deal, but even 12+2 atm wouldn't have attracted me.
Too many 50's to list here's a few you may know.
Slazenger, Area51, Area53, Area54, Erruption, Mind Plague, Thresher, Sheath, Broadside, Debt

Quite right. Another way to look at it: the 12+2 deal means the monthly equivalent price is just a little over $10. Great value!

Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

I guess it's dumb to ask whether signing up for this will net us 7 or 14 tokens up front, huh?

I have a question.
How many Paragon Points do yearly plan suscribers get? Do they get their points allotment monthly like everyone else, or do they get them all right away?

Yeah, the answer is that you don't.|

This deal: (14 x 400) + (14x(150 if tier 9)) for the 12+2 plan, (7 x 400) + (7x(150 if tier 9)) for the 6+1 plan
Basically you'll get point allotments monthly, just like everyone else. You'll get the bonus 150 any month you subscribe if you have completed Tier 8 (34+ tokens).

Keep in mind that (as I understand it, anyway) when your current subscription ends and the new bonus one takes effect, THAT date is when your card will be charged. So just because you can afford it NOW, does not guarantee that you will have the money in the bank when it comes up for renewal. Personally I don't think I will have any problem with this when my Holiday Bonus Time comes up this next February, but it's something to think about.
I pay by the year anyways, so this is a no brainer for me.
