So i am sure everyone saw this, but i have not seen anyone post here about it.
www.arcgames.com/en/games/xbox/neverwinter/news/detail/9535503-introducing-the-vip-program-for-xbox-one%21
So, for $10 (1000 ZEN), you buy a rank and 30 days. When your 30 days of VIP go, you lose the benifits, but if you sell enough plasma to get VIP again, you will be rank 2. You can get to rank 12. Lapses in being a VIP do not remove ranks. They only go up.
So.
Highlights (as I see them, from a quick scan.)
All ranks (rank 1) gets 1 free Enchanted Key per day. (Per account, not per toon. All of the other benifits are per toon.)
Rank 3 Team buff when grouped (All members + VIP players gets +1000HP if below level 65 and +2000HP if above. This stacks for each member with VIP.
Rank 4 Summon Signpost. Interacting will bring up overworld map that can be used to teleport. Anyone around will be able to use the signpost.
Rank 6 Summon mailbox: Usable mailbox from anywhere. Anyone around will be able to use the mailbox.
Rank 12 Summon banking portal: ability to use personal bank from anywhere. Anyone around will be able to use the bank
There are others (dungeon keys (per toon), bonus AD, bonus XP, free posting to TH, discounts at the Wonderous Bazaar, etc.) but these stuck out the most.
Assuming my math is right, and that AD is currently about 250 per ZEN, that is 250,000 per month. If they do not lower the drop rates with lock boxes, just the 15% AD boost and stuff from ~30 lockboxes per month could make this "pay for itself". Unless all of the changes totaly change the economy and we end up with 500 AD to ZEN rates like the PC has. Even then, i think the contents of 30 lockboxes may be enought to cover it.
Just thought i would through this out here and see what everyone thinks. At the moment, I am very tempted. If the game is down all day Tuesday and not back up when i get home from work, i may be less tempted, but will probably still buy it - once i stop complaining about it being down.

1000 zen ain't too bad, considering you can easily get that in a couple days of minimal effort.

I am looking forward to it because I love opening boxes. My guess is that it will have some effect on ZEN and the AH because there will be a lot more people opening lock boxes. It would be great to get enough from lock boxes to pay for the VIP each month. In my experience I usually get 200k - 300k in sell-able items for every 10 lock boxes I open. In addition it'll be easier to get coalescent wards by using the tarmalune bars in the lock boxes.

I don't open many boxes, so i never really have enough for wards. (So far, i have been able to get 1 coal ward from bars. I did get one from the vault of piety box, but 1 in months with multiple toons is not a great drop rate.) You can't have too many coalescent wards.

I got one from the piety box this past week and picked up two using tarmalune bars recently. Now, I just have to wait and level up my next set of gear after next week.

I'm thinking of getting the VIP pack just for the Wondrous Bazaar and AH discounts. I really need to make more AD to outfit Wilford and that seems like a smart (and self-sufficient) way to do it.

Plus you can buy dragon eggs with scales from lockboxes. it will take a while to acquire scales and bars at 1 lockbox a day, but it will help.
I like the convenience factors like summoning a mailbox, teleporting, etc.

Immune to injuries is worth the Zen investment alone

I am doing this to at least level 7 (7months) because of the immunity to injuries, and because of the keys! (My precious)
