So, hearing that City of Heroes was going free-to-play, and that I could return to the game where I had left off because I could use the characters I'd made long ago, I decided to try it out. Turns out either they failed to mention, or I failed to notice, that Invention Origin enhancements can't be used for free, as it apparently requires a License. Looking in the store, I see that a license apparently lasts only 30 days, which means that using IOs will cost a monthly fee (though I'll admit the minimum fee is fairly low). All my enhancements are IOs. Without enhancements, a high level character has maybe 1/4th as much power as they should. I was tricked. I can't return for free. Goodbye, City of Heroes.
P.S. Apparently the Mastermind and Controller classes are also locked unless one pays money (or has paid enough in subscription fees in the past to acquire 13 special tokens; I only had 7 tokens). My highest level villain was a Mastermind. I can't return to where I left off for free.
