Once you buy the slots their yours no matter what, so you would not have to re buy them.

You'll have 2 slots plus any slots you've been rewarded for veteran rewards over the years. I would be surprised if you have less then 6 global slots to use when you go Preem.

Since your join date shows 2004, if you've never let your sub drop, you'll have:
2 slots (base)
7-8 slots (1 per 12 months of subscription time)
2 slots (given free to all accounts when the ability to buy slots was added)
2 slots (if you purchased and applied a Going Rogue box before the transition to CoH:Freedom)
For anywhere up to 14 slots (plus any you may have purchased).
If there were breaks in your subscription, or you didn't buy GR, you will have proportionately fewer slots. Not that the subscription time counts cumulative time, not consecutive time; if you subbed one month, then unsubbed one month, and repeated this pattern for the whole 8 years, you'd have 4 years sub time, good for 4 extra slots.
Note that any slots you unlock on a server STAY on that server. If you unlock all your slots on Virtue, then resub, then drop back down to Premium, you will get to use those slots to re-unlock any characters you like on Virtue, but will have to buy or earn new slots to unlock characters on different servers. You can NOT move slot unlocks, and transferring characters does NOT take their slot with them; they leave it behind and need a new one on their new server.

Wow! That is alot of slots. I never anticipated, I would get this many slots if I fall to Premium. I guess all those veteran rewards pay off.|

I only let my subscription fall for a total of 12 months since I originally came to City of Heroes. I started around June 2004. Only started going to Forums in August 2004.
It looks like my attention is shifting to a different MMO at this time. So, I may need to stop my VIP subscription. MY subscription ends on march.
I know when my subscription ends, it will fall from a VIP account to a Premium account. I also know as a Premium account, I can elect to pay to activate additional character slots so I can have more than two slots active.
Question is if I do the above to pay to have a total of 6 character slots active, then I subscribe again to VIP, then let it drop again. Do I need to pay again to if I want 6 character slots active?
