I am free to play.

Free to play get 5 traveller coins. VIP get 15 traveler coins per character.

Are traveler coins bound at all?

How much does it cost to buy travller coins in the ddo store?

If I upgrade to VIP now before I log in post-patch, will I get 5 coins per character or 15 coins per character?

I am not sure about all of the questions, but as far as the upgrading question, it specifically states characters made before 2/18/10.

I gave you positive rep for answering thank you!

I am not creating new characters. My question is do my existing charcters get 5 or 15 coins if I was free to play last time I logged out last night, but I upgrade to VIP before I log in today?

The stuff is probably already in your pack as I type this, even though servers are inaccessible.

Whoops, guess Turbine could have made the announcement earlier, if they'd realise it would be enough to convince some people to upgrade their account ... :D

i think if your vip before the update then you will get the 15.... if not come back here and feel free to badmouth me :)

I would never bad mouth you dredre - you rock.

I suspect the earlier poster is correct that these coins have already been assigned to our accounts so it doesn't matter if I upgrade or not. Plus I realized I am "premium" so the difference is only 5 coins per character.

SO I am going to let it ride.

That is what was done in the past. I expect the patch process today ends with a query that add them to the bags before things go live.
