Was just wondering since I'm making a new account (played the game when it came out, but let my subscription lapse due to lack of money). Which servers do y'all play on? :3
HOLD THE PHONE. It's free now? OMG OMG CONNIPTION I love superheroes and MMOs so this is like the perfect thing for me! I'll definitely be getting back on (did a free 10-day trial thing)! I don't know which server I'm on, but I'll try to find out for you. My character's name is GaleForceX, if that helps?
Yes, I play, I have played continuously for 5 years and am staying on as a VIP (still paying).
Short form:
If you come back, you are a "Premium" player. You get 2 "global slots" that you can assign to any server, plus whatever slots you already had unlocked or bought. You do NOT get to play the post-50 Incarnate content, or Praetoria unless you purchase it, and you can join super groups but not start them.
Get everything that free players get.
Retain nearly everything you already purchased or unlocked, including Super Boosters, expansions, and directly purchased character slots.
Retain all the Veteran Rewards you earned.
If you start a new account you get 2 character slots, and as a Free Player there is a lot of stuff you don't get unless you pay for it, like joining a supergroup, chat channels, using the marketplace, more character slots, that sort of thing.
Play as a Hero or Villain for up to Level 50.
Play in 45 different game zones.
Select from 8 character archetypes and 105 power sets.
Create costumes for up to 2 characters from billions of combinations.
Enjoy over 1,000 missions that will allow you to travel in time, visit alternate dimensions, and fight off alien invasions.
Buy anything you'd like from the in-game store.
Neither Premium nor Free players get help from the Game Masters; basically if you run into trouble you are on your own.

I have toons on (literally) every server, including the Euro ones.
