http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=278721| The City of Heroes Freedom ™ VIP Starter Kit will upgrade newly created free accounts to VIP status, and includes one month of VIP subscription time and VIP benefits (can only be used to activate NEW accounts and cannot be applied to existing VIP or Premium accounts). |
Sounds as though it's just an upgrade for free accounts only -- from what I'd read elsewhere, it sounded as though anyone with a "new-ish" free account started since Freedom launched could apply this to that account and get a 99 cent preview of the VIP shinies for a month.
But if your account is already premium or VIP, it's not going to help you at all.

30 level 50's: 12 scrappers, 7 other random melee types, 11 blaster/blapper/support squishies, two accounts, and a TON of altitis since 4/28/04
So, I was thinking of reactivating my second account when I saw this promotion.
It sounds awesome, but here's what I'd like to know: does it actually upgrade your existing account, or does it create a new one (as in trial accounts), meaning you'd have no characters, no tokens, et al?
Thanks.
