The question is directed at the rednames. They had said that they weren't going to "just in case" but today's announcement could be the final nail. I'm hoping its not but if it is...
Please let the non-VIPs see their locked characters one last time, please.

One thing that might be possible is for them to set the price of everything in the market to zero though. That one doesn't require dev work.

And honestly, at this point I'm guessing he's no longer technically a Paragon Studios employee. If anything, I imagine he's considered a temporary NCSoft employee... or worse, he may just be doing this out of the goodness of his heart and a lack of other things to do while he looks for another job.

All I know is that prices in the market have been changed without a release, which means that there's some sort of tool to do so. Hell, there's probably a web UI. It's not like he's going to have to release I24.|

As for HitStreak's status, I really don't think he's volunteering. Because he still has a redname, I think he probably has some official NCSoft status still. Maybe they've put him on contract for a certain number of hours a week.
I'm thinking the staff got to keep their rednames regardless of their status. If you check the list of people online, there's several of them on as I am posting, Zwill included.

With today's news, is it possible to flip a switch and give us character unlocks and masterminds for free on the live servers? |

Was it something only a dev could turn on?

TBH, I'm not certain what group took care of that. I believe it was a customer service responsibility (not handled by Paragon) but don't hold me to that.

For those people trying to get character downloads and screenshots of locked characters, you CAN use the character transfer service to Beta, even for locked characters. It's slower, but it's available. |

That might open up the locked classes, too.
It's not ideal, but for those people who just want to be able to get their character info, it's an opportunity.
(Edit: I'm pretty sure this isn't my FPARN, but I think it's the first time I've ever acknowledged it!)

Thanks, Cende. I might end up installing the beta server and transfer characters to it if the character capture tool works with that. It would be a way to preserve them.
[QUOTE=Cende;4408564]
Because I was never a premium player and didn't know about unlocking your IO's, I bought Performance Shifters and unlockers on the market instead of buying an invention licence. If I had know it before I was able to play with IO's on my great main caracter. 
There for I copy this from Paragon Wiki
Invention License (to buy on the market for 160 points)
An Invention License allows the ability to access the Invention System, including salvage and recipe drops, crafting and slotting Invention Origin Enhancements, utilizing the enhancement portion of already-slotted Invention Origin Enhancements, utilizing Set Bonuses, and crafting Invention Temporary Powers. Without this license, none of the above points are available. Invention powers already crafted will continue to be usable until all charges are expended. Likewise, invention costume pieces already crafted will continue to be available to the crafter, but further pieces cannot be crafted.
This item can be purchased at the Paragon Market for 160 Paragon Points and lasts for 30 days. Purchasing this license will allow all characters on your account access to crafting Inventions from a recipe at any crafting table for 30 days from time of purchase. Without a valid Invention License, all IOs are "greyed out" and provide no enhancement value or set bonuses.
NOTE: A character's already-slotted IOs are not deleted or otherwise "lost" if Invention System access is restricted. They are simply disabled. They may be removed via Power Respecification, or kept until earning the appropriate Paragon Reward, or to use while subscribing. It is commonly suggested to keep one character build with only Single-Origin Enhancements if planning on alternating between accessing and being restricted from the Invention System.
I hope this information is usefull for some of you...
