Free hideout

I've heard that gold members get a free hideout and silvers have to buy them all. I have not heard this from a dev but from several other sources. I'm wondering if this is true. Does anybody know if it is?

    Yes, it's true. One hideout for free.
    Type /hideout in chat or press the Hideouts button on your map, press the Free Token button and choose your hideout.

    The hideout you choose will be available to all your heroes, but can be customizable individually. You can only choose one time, so choose carefully.

    If you don't want to take it from me, read the patch notes:
    Claim your Hideout

    If you are a Lifetime or Gold Member you can claim your free Phase One hideout by following these steps:

    Open the Hideout UI
    Click the “Free Token” button
    Select your Free Hideout
    Click the “Claim” button

    Once you claim your Free Hideout click the “Return to Hideouts” button.

    It would be really damn nice if the game itself mentioned that your hideout choice applied to ALL your damn characters; there's no mention of the fact in-game.

    So, what did you expect?

    Or, maybe it would be nice if they would just list all the changes that take place with each update... They could even put it on the main website... A good place would be in the support section at the top of the page... they could call it "Release Notes" and keep not only the most recent changes but the patch notes from every update all the way back to launch... What a novel idea. Wonder why nobody ever thought of that before.

    it would be nice if there was a free hideout for every one because on most MMOs you get your self a house, room , or something like that do you agree with me ?

    Nope. Subscribe and get your free stuff and keep CO/PWE paid so we can keep enjoying the game. Too much free stuff = limited lifespan and development for the game.

    I don't think this one beats the current record but it's up there.

    If the site was informative of all the features in the game, we wouldn't have this problem.

    Most? The only one I've played that gave free character housing was AO. A lot of games I've been on didn't have character housing at all.

    Final Fantasy 11: Free house, one per character on account.
    Final Fantasy 14: No house. One NPC per character to hold your stuff for you.
    Lord Of The Rings Online: One house per account, bought & maintained with in-game cash.

    City of Heroes: One base per supergroup, maintained with in-game cash. Most useful option.

    i sub and did get my "free" hideout but your choices are limited..you dont get to choose your hideout from all that are available to buy and secondly by subbing every month you basically can say you bought your hideout on a payment plan instead of all at once. that said hideout are neat..i get the cave one for "free" and bought the moonbase outright..allowing your friends to join you in your hideout is pure marketing..as soon as i saw how cool the moonbase was i kknew my sci fi super type toons needed it. at first glance i knew my magic toons needed one of the mge hideouts for their home.

    Sure is would be, "nice," of them to do. It would also be counter to the basic idea of a hybrid/MT based game.

    On the other hand CO is a hybrid model game. One chooses whether to get a package deal including a hideout by subscribing, or to buy what those individual elements they desire a la carte through micro transactions. If you are choosing the a la carte approach, FtP, you should expect to pay for individual game elements. That is your choice.

    Not even close...

    Saw a necro earlier this week that the last post was 8/29/09. That was a necro of a pre-launch thread!

    Never played FF or LOTRO

    You had to be a paying subscriber to start a SG which was needed to have a SG base. You also had to be a paying subscriber to pay the rent. If you didn't pay rent you would be locked out of your base so, that's not free.

    Heck, back when they first came out, you had to own the CoH box AND the CoV box or you couldn't even go in a base.
