I suspect that since virtual minis are used on the VTT, not having a subscription (and thus not having access to the VTT as a DM) might not let you use them... or it might allow all players in a VTT to pool/share virtual minis as long as one person has a subscription (and thus, a DM account).As for them disappearing, I doubt it. Most subscription services I've used that have some kind of commodity like that just freezes your account as it is until you renew (EasyNews does this with it's GB Bank, and MMOs do this with your character). I guess the question to ask would be does Magic Online keep your decks and stuff, since that's probably the number one model for it.Also, if DDI offers you to cash out virtual minis for physical ones (Magic Online does this), you might just be able to cash out all your virtual minis before you cancel your subscription.It might only matter when it comes to a big database upgrade or something, since some companies keep your account intact for years (I finally gave my old EQ account to a friend so his son could play, and my characters were exactly as they were from when I quit 6 years ago).That's exactly my point. Since I'm one of those people who spends money on more minutes than he ever uses, I have no problem tossing a couple fast food meals worth of money towards a subscription to see if I like it. I feel it's better to regret something I have done than to regret something I haven't done.To quote the article about the Insider... "The client applications will be rich Windows clients, with some functionality only available when the user is online and identified as a D&D Insider subscriber, and others available even when the user is offline."From the way the article describes it, some of the tools will be offline with the ability to connect and upload the things you make with them to Character and Campaign Vaults. I figure this would mean the Dungeon Builder (you can download the current one and run it on your computer), Encounter Builder, and Character Creator would allow you to do all that stuff offline, but with certain features (dropping the Dungeon and Encounters you made into the Gaming Table, etc.) only available if you're online and a subscriber. The Gaming Table and Vaults are online, subscriber material only. I'm sure we'll hear more about it from D&DXP.</blockquote>
