Yeah, it's because you're not a paying subscriber. If you can invite a subscriber into your SG then they can pay the rent.|

I checked permissions and every member of the Supergroup has permission to pay, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Is it because I'm not a paid subscriber? Yes I can still access my base in CoV, so go figure.

If you can't find anyone else, I can try and hop for you on whatever server you need.

But wow. Can't pay base rent just cause I don't have a sub? Wow... that's really retarded. And you'd think they'd let that slide with the game ending anyways.
I'm on on Defiant and both sides seem to be a complete ghost town; I haven't even seen another person in the past two days. The base is question is on the hero side if someone could help out. I'm mostly on Kaji Asura on the villain side or Headwounds on the hero side. Hero side is not my main base but, meh, I wanted to have a looksy. It was still newish when a friend and I made it and I wandered off into some other game shortly thereafter.

No it wasn't. For a couple of years base rent and the exact amount owed has been linked to certain items that players can purchase for a base. Among those items are the storage bins. Restricting the ability to pay rent to subscribers prevented nonsubscribers who didn't want to buy extra storage from the Paragon Market from exploiting the base feature by creating a bunch of solo bases that were nothing more than giant storage bins for their accounts. |

The devs always maintained that bases were multi-player oriented content and were stubbornly dead set against adding any feature that made creating solo bases more convenient.
But any nonsubscriber that was willing to invite a VIP into their SG's was allowed to get around the rent restriction and use bases for storage.

If anyone had successfully managed to purchase the rights to keep CoH running making all the accounts VP would have screwed the new owners over, because people who never spent a dime on the game would have had access to features they never purchased.
Despite all that NCSoft didn't get around to disabling the players ability to upgrade their accounts with old box codes until the 19th of September. That gave players 3 weeks to upgrade their accounts and enjoy the final 90 days as VIP's.
Shutting off the ability to upgrade accounts had to be done once NCSoft was ready to start issuing refunds.
I'm sorry you missed out on the chance to upgrade your account to VIP status.
Criticisms aside... c'mon, someone hop in and help get his base rent paid! 
If not, I'll be able to in about an hour or so.

(not sure what names I have on Defiant, hehe, but I'll have some lowbie there)
