City Of Heroes: Big Announcement about CoV!

The party wasn't just a place for partying. NCsoft and Cryptic also announced some big news. The first is that if you have both City of Villains and City of Heroes, you will recieve an additional four character slots for either hero or villains on top of the existing eight for both. The second, and perhaps more exciting news is the subscription pricing for City of Villains for currently City of Heroes players. And the price? Zero. If you are an existing COH player, other than purchasing the retail box, it will cost no additional monthly fee to play City of Villains. City of Villains can also be purchased and played as its own game for a regular $14.99 a month fee.

Awry has put up an FAQ which you can read if you still have questions.
