City of Heroes - Free to Play

(it looks a little jaggy because I have AA turned off so I can play windowed mode at work.  )

Ahh, nuts.. just lost beta access.. tried to log into the forums to get a free level bump to 50 and apparently since I'm not an active subscriber, I'm not supposed to be in the beta. :/  NCSoft let me in... CoH cut me off.  I'm crying now.

And because the DCUO thread got me checking up on the F2P status of CoH, I found some beta peeks at the new power sets:

Street Justice:

Issue 21 is live now, in a "Head Start Mode" for subscribing customers; but they still haven't put a date on when it will go Free to Play. For a lack of anything else to do before TOR, I decided to jump in for another month as VIP; so I'm in playing it again. If anyone else is playing, let me know - we can try to consolidate servers. All of my mains are on Virtue (unofficial RP server).

If I understand correctly, all the servers will be available for Free to Play with the exception of a VIP only server. Also, if you pay $15 for the upgrade to Premium from Free, you get access to more stuff.. and they give you back $5 to spend on the in-game MT market.
