SWEET  !!  thats 5 slots for me for free   ;D ;D ;D ;D

heres the original post
Csoft NorCal Studios and NCsoft Europe are pleased to announce the pricing and details for the coming Additional Character Slot feature. As we previously announced, we heard the request for a system to allow more characters on a single server and this is our answer. City of Heroes is a unique game that offers many playstyle options; options that are growing in a large way due to Powerset Proliferation and the addition of the Villain Epic Archetypes in the next free expansion, Issue 12: Midnight Hour. To accommodate playing more characters on your favourite server, we will be including the following features in Issue 12:

    * All current subscribers will receive 2 free character slots, each of which can be used on the specific server of their choice. This is to help you make new characters to take advantage of the new features of Issue 12, even if you already have maxed out your “home” server’s character slots.

    * 1 free character slot will be granted retroactively on a yearly basis through the current Veteran Reward system. Every 12 months that a subscription is maintained will unlock an additional free character slot that the user can apply to the server of their choice. Thus, existing players will be eligible for up to 4 additional character slots at the launch of Issue 12. This will continue into the future for Veteran Rewards given out every 12 months, so you get another slot for 5 years, another one for 6 years, etc.

    * Additional Optional Character Slots will be available on a purchasable basis. These are one-time fees, not an addition to your monthly subscription rate. The additional slots can be had at the following price points:
          o 1 Optional Character Slot for a one-time fee of £3.49 / €4.99
          o 2 Optional Character Slots for a one-time fee of £5.99 / €8.99
          o 5 Optional Character Slots for a one-time fee of £11.99 / €17.99

    * Players can have up to 36 slots per server, with an update to the character selection screen that lets you re-organize your character list by Drag and Drop, as well as easily flip between up to three pages of characters available on that server. All customers benefit from these great new User Interface features included with the revisions for Optional Character Slots.

The above features are planned to be made available at the launch of Issue 12: Midnight Hour, which is currently in closed beta testing. Be sure to check out this feature, along with the rest of Issue 12 when we enter the open beta testing period that should be starting in several more weeks.

All very very very tasty!  ;D   ;D

And i love that you can re-arrange the chars!! been wanting to do that for ages! 8)

And in june ill be getting 4 char slots  ;D  ;D

Yeesh! Its fantastic in one sense... but at this rate I'm never gonna get a bloody 50!

Seeing as I've not maxed out Defiant yet, I'm not too bothered about the extra slots.  However at the rate my toonitis is devouring me, I'll definitely need them at some point.  Also, like the idea of being able to buy more slots.  Certainly means we can keep playing Defiant rather than making new connections on onion.

Bring it on!  :D

I have defiant maxed out... and with stuff I don't want to delete now. I love them all!
