Whatever you were when they shut the store down is what you'll be till the end. If you were VIP on August 31, 2012 when they shut down the store, you'll be VIP until the end. Which we hope doesn't happen.
They are, however, looking into turning VIP on for all.

Well that's good at least. Thanks for the info!

May I ask where you came by this claim? Several people in other threads have already reported losing VIP status when their subscription ran out.

I was set to go to premium on September 1st, and I'm still currently enjoying all the perks involved with VIP status; incarnate powers, missions, etc. That's how I came about this claim.

(On this account) I was set to drop to premium Sept 4th. On August 31, my account information said so. Now, it just says I'm VIP and has no line indicating an expiry date. I still have access to all VIP features.
On another account, I was Premium, am still premium, and have no option to upgrade from premium.
Premium accounts can't edit signatures.
Huh.

The same here Korith. My subscripton should have renewed on the 3rd, but the only bill to my card was for the Points microtransaction I made just hours before the axe. But I still have access to all my charecters and all the vip only content.|

As to the VIP for all claim, that was made by Zwillinger during the community chat on the fifth, that he was trying to find some way to have VIP status, double experiance, and maybe even the holiday events enabled for everyone during this period.

I think I can confirm this. My VIP was set to end tomorrow, but now it doesn't say anything about that in my Account Management. It just says:|

Account Type:
VIP
Account Status:
Playable
Whereas it used to say "VIP until" as far as I remember.
I guess I can actually confirm tomorrow or Wednesday.
I hope this is the case; if I dropped back to Premium, it would be harder to maintain regular play until doomsday.
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.
It would seem that you can still upgrade to VIP by applying a valid retail box code to your account as well. I just upgraded to VIP by applying a Going Rogue Complete Collection code.

Do you have any idea how I could obtain such a thing? I don't have any codes applied to my account as of now.
Amazon is selling old editions. Buy them and add the codes to your account.

It doesn't allow shipping to my address (In the Netherlands). Apparently you need to live in the USA for this. :-(

Find a buddy in the US that you trust to order it for you and send you the code?
Caveat: I have no idea if there are different codes for EU.

I seem to have a NA version of the game anyway. I used one of the codes for a special aura the devs posted in one of the other forums. I had to use the NA version.

I haven't found an answer among the many good bye threads . I love this game and would love to see it survive but perhaps more realistically, I want to enjoy it while I still can. Do I have until nov 30 as VIP if I only paid for a month of time in late August?
