Night Ward contacts for premium players??

What's up with Night Ward? On the issue 23 Overview page, patch notes, and known issues after release, I don't see any mention as to WHO will have access to the contacts in the zone. It does not say anything like "Free for VIP and purchase in the paragon market for premium".

There seems to be a change on Paragon Wiki too: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Night_Ward

For Regular Contacts it said a couple days ago when I last checked "Requires a VIP subscription or purchase of the Night Ward Zone pack in the Paragon Market", somewhere along that line. When clicking the hyper link for "Night Ward Zone Pack" it would take you to http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Paragon_Market#Zone_Packs
but Night Ward was not listed since it isn't in the Paragon Market. Now the Paragon Wiki only says "Requires VIP subscription".

Does anybody know if this new zone is a VIP ONLY zone? I was looking forward to purchasing it like I did for First Ward a few months ago. Considering it is a level 30-35 zone I assumed it would be purchasable for premiums since it is not considered "incarnate" content, although there is a new incarnate trial in the zone I think.

Patch notes: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=290439

Known Issues: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=264969

Nowhere does it mention anything about requiring a VIP subscription to access the contacts nor does it mention that it will be purchasable in the market for premiums. Nothing. It only describes the content and new enemies and such.

Fireball, Trilogy, and the two repeatable contacts are available to Preemies without any extra purchase. The others are not.

There is no Night Ward zone pack that I could find in the Market, which is why I removed all those flags mentioning it.

I'd expect the zone pack to hit the market soon, possibly this tuesday

Well that is what I was trying to say. The wiki was updated by somebody since there is no Night Ward Zone Pack in the Paragon Market.

The wiki is confusing as is your post. It says for regular contacts "Requires VIP subscription". But it is not specific as to WHICH contacts require VIP. And you did not mention which of the 2 contacts are repeatable (the contacts on the wiki under "Task Pools", or the contacts above that?)

I click on each contact listed http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Night_Ward
and not a single one of their individual pages says it requires a VIP subscription. So, aside from Fireball and Trilogy, which of the other contacts are available to everybody? Are the 2 others you refer to those type of contacts that give you a choice between 2 missions with a limit on how many different missions they have and they never stop giving missions (like newspaper/radio missions)? Are Fireball and Trilogy task force type contacts that require a team to do their story arcs? They are on the wiki page I posted here under "Task Pool Contacts".

It is very confusing. Fireball and Trilogy are listed on the wiki as level 35-50 but all other contacts on the page are 30-35.

The contacts under "Task Pool Contacts" are not introduced by other contacts or introduces any others after completing their arcs.

In order to do Ward and the others it seems you have to start with Montague Castanella. He introduces Ward who introduces Sir Bedwyr who introduces The Magician.

If anybody can update the wiki page to show WHICH contacts are VIP only please do so. I have never edited a wiki page before and wouldn't want to get in trouble if I enter the wrong info.

See my post above. The "task pool" ones are free(Fireball, Trilogy...) while the others(Montague Castanella, The Magician) are not free.

"Regular Contacts" has the VIP flag because they're VIP only. All the other contacts do not have the flag because they're not VIP only. This is the same function that all of the wiki operates under. Articles that are wholly VIP only are flagged at the top; articles that are essentially free are not flagged at the top. Subsections that are VIP only are flagged; anything that is not flagged, including other subsections, is free.

I added the VIP flag to the four contacts' articles listed under "Regular Contacts". I did not create/update those pages so I am not to blame for those misses.

Fireball and Trilogy are 30-50.

I just realized the reason for my confusion: The "Regular contacts, requires VIP subscription" is to the bottom right of the table of contents on the wiki page instead of being directly above which contacts it refers to.

Edit: When clicking on Montague Castanella and the others as part of his arc I now see the VIP subscription notice at the the top. Either I didn't notice it before, or it was added recently. Thanks to whoever did that and sorry if I'm being a pest. Sadly I get confused easily.

So much better now and I can see which are the VIP only contacts.
