    I haven't seen enough of his posts to come close to scaling his reference correctly.

    What you need to enter in the to field IS: @Green Majin

    And I don't see your response as to what exactly you are trying to send.

    I know. I was trying to inform StarGeek that everyone can receive gleemails, but not everyone can send them.

    Actually pure F2P accounts can receive emails, just not send them.

    625x625 is hardly full screen unless you are running at 800x600. If so, might I suggest getting a bigger monitor? At any rate, I've replaced it with a smaller image.

    As soon as I hit "send," to either the alt or my global handle, "you have accepted (item)" appears on screen, and it is back in my tray.

    Any suggestions?
    Do you already have 20 global emails in your inbox? Are you over level 10?

    And then if you've done this, when you drop to premium those slots are locked in to that particular server?
    That is exactly how it works. Customer Support and the /mypurchases command pretty much agree this is the case.

    Pretty much.

    If the original poster looked at 15 servers (Freedom, Infinity, Liberty, Pinnacle, Triumph, Victory, Champion, Guardian, Justice, Protector, Virtue, Defiant, Union, Vigilance, and Zukunft) and all 15 showed 0/0 server slots, then the remaining slots would logically be on the 16th server: Exalted.

    A lot of people were under the same impression, including the Community Reps. However the Billing, Design, and Business Management departments had a different opinion.

    Every account gets 2 slots, including F2P players.

    From the FAQ:
    Quote:
    One notable difference is that Free Players are limited to two character slots total, plus any character slots directly purchased or earned through Veteran Rewards. All existing characters will be saved and reenabled if a player subscribes as a VIP Player.
    Purchased slots remain where they are applied.

    Given other responses from the GMs/Customer Support, even if they are sympathetic, they can't (or won't) change server slot assignments.

    You can assign your 2 global slots as a VIP. I know. My VIP account has 2 Global Slots from Freedom launch + 5 purchased slots. The game doesn't care if those slots were from Freedom Launch or me buying them. They are treated exactly the same. In fact, using the /mypurchases command, you will see a line like this:
    Code:
    Name			Purchased		Used		Expires		Product
Character Slot x1		22		20		Never		SVCSLOTS
    I took that snapshot at Freedom Launch. 22 purchased (10 bought, 10 from various reward sources, 2 from Freedom Launch).

    Code:
    Name			Purchased		Used		Expires		Product
Character Slot x1		27		20		Never		SVCSLOTS
    Recently I checked again. This shows the extra 5 slots I bought in December.

    Code:
    Name			Purchased		Used		Expires		Product
Character Slot x1		6		4		Never		SVCSLOTS
    This is my Premium Account. It had 2 slots from Issue 12 (applied), 2 from Going Rogue retail (applied), and 2 from Freedom.

    And look, the player was a VIP:

    See? He was a VIP. At that point, if he wasn't paying attention, applied the Global Slots to Exalted those slots are permanently on Exalted.

    No, it isn't. The 2 Global Slots are available as a VIP player. If you assign them while being a VIP to Exalted, they are permanently on Exalted.

    Get this: The two "Global Slots" are treated as "Character Slots" before Issue 21. The game doesn't treat those two slots any different than a purchased slot. So Kosmos and you are wrong.

    He starts the mission with you, and slowly walks to where you are. If you get too far he stands still. If you keep him near, he'll help you out.

    In a limited sense you are correct. How limited? Let's see:
    • Once you assign a Global Slot to a server that slot cannot be moved to another server. Nothing you can do, and nothing the GMs will do will change this.
    • Once you assign a Server Slot to a character, that slot cannot be changed short of deleting the character. Changing to VIP then back to Premium doesn't change this selection. In other words, permanent.
    So if the player added the 2 Global Slots to Exalted while he was a VIP, when his account went Premium those two Global Slots would became 2 Server Slots on Exalted. If every server other than the one the player can check shows 0/0 slots, then the player assigned the base 2 Global Slots to the now inaccessible server.

    Or that he assigned the two slots to Exalted.

    Let's see if I can ask this another way.

    How many slots or usable characters on each of the following:
    • Freedom:
    • Infinity:
    • Liberty:
    • Pinnacle:
    • Triumph:
    • Victory:
    • Champion:
    • Guardian:
    • Justice:
    • Protector:
    • Virtue:
    • Defiant:
    • Union:
    • Vigilance:
    • Zukunft:
    If you assigned 2 slots to exalted, you are out of luck and have to contact Customer Support, purchase more character slots, or re-subscribe.

    Edit:
    One server should show "Server Used/Total: 2/2" or two servers will be showing "Server Used/Total: 1/1".

    How many ways do you have to be told "No"? You've been told by two GMs, and at least 3 different players. Repeatedly asking will not change the outcome.

    Rest XP is available for everyone, even F2P players (1 Paragon Reward Token). It isn't a VIP-only perk.

    Character Slots

    POST-ACTION

    To put what Roderick said another way:

    Global Slots are unused purchased character slots. Once those purchased slots are assigned, they cannot be moved to another server.

    After Freedom : Before Freedom
    Global Slots : Unused Character Slots.
    Server Slots : Assigned Character Slots.
    "Base" 12 Character Slots : VIP only.

    Also, since freedom, once you have assigned a server slot, that slot is tied to that character. You cannot change the assignment later without deleting or transferring the character.
