Pricing
The big news was that active City of Heroes subscribers will pay no additional monthly fee to play City of Villains! You will have full access to all content from both games for only $14.99 per month. Of course, City of Villains is also available as a stand-alone game. Players who do not own City of Heroes and players who choose not to upgrade their existing City of Heroes account will pay the full monthly fee of $14.99.
If you already have City of Heroes or want to reactivate your City of Heroes account, you will still get the first month of included time when you purchase City of Villains. As long as you use the UPGRADE button to apply the City of Villains serial code, the included time from your City of Villains purchase will be applied to your existing City of Heroes account.
Character Slots
City of Heroes and City of Villains will share the same universe and, therefore, they must coexist on the same servers. Many of the existing (and yet-to-be-released) features and zones within City of Heroes and City of Villains require that heroes and villains be able to interact fully. This means that players will manage their heroes and villains from the same menu interface.
People with only City of Heroes or City of Villains will have the normal eight character slots per server, those with both games will use a new interface with twelve character slots. Those twelve slots will accommodate both heroes and villains (so if players choose to, they can fill all twelve with heroes or with villains).
