== Overview ==
A '''Premium Player''' is any non-subscription account holder who has ever spent money with [[NCsoft]] on the [[City of Heroes]] product.  [[VIP Player]]s whose subscriptions lapse turn into Premium Players.  Premium Players may have limited access to some game features and systems. 
 
Nicknames include ''preems'', ''freemium'', and ''premies''.
 
== Description ==
Premium Player account status is a result of the hybrid model adopted when City of Heroes Freedom launched. 
They include, but are not limited to:
* Free Players joining the game since [[Issue 21]], who have purchased points through the [[Paragon Market]]
* Free Players who apply a Game [[Time Card]] to their account and then don't apply another to overlap it
* Free Players who subscribed to City of Heroes Freedom and then let their subscription lapse
* Returning Players who maintained a City of Heroes monthly subscription for at least 30 days or applied a game time card, any time from the game's launch in 2004 until the release of City of Heroes Freedom in late 2011
* VIP players with a lapsed subscription
* Secondary accounts of VIP players
 
The features and systems available to Premium Players compared to VIP Players are very strongly and directly tied to the [[Paragon Rewards Program]].  See also [[Reward Token#Converting from Veteran Rewards Program|Converting from Veteran Rewards Program]].
