HOLY YEA!
Is it a one-time purchase, or an increase in the monthly fee?
You Devs really do listen and are doing a SMASHING good job of keeping me playing this game, even after almost 4 years. (I have taken a month or two break a couple times, and started a month or two after launch).
I always said that I would NEVER do this, but I can not resist. FIRST after Redname.
Interesting.
As nice it is to be able to buy more slots. It would be nice to at least get 1 slot for free.

Are you serious? No thanks! I'd rather delete a toon I don't play much than to pay for more slots. Gimme a break.
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for some Character Slots today.
Oh man, imma be broke 
I can't wait for this to go Live later.
Purchasable? WTH is happening to this game... Am I to assume that I cannot pay for these extra slots with a game card? Then that exludes me yet again from the extra features. Thanks.
Hey they do not HAVE to give us anything at all. 12 slots on each of 11 servers is plenty. However, I am a Virtuan thru and thru and would gladly consider this, depending on the amount.
Since I RARELY play red-side, my purchase of COV was basically for the bases (which are not as cool as they good be, but I still get alot of function out of them (storage, crafting, transport) and the four extra slots.
So rather than get a whole second account to satisfy my altitis, I can just add more slots to my account, meaning my new characters get all my Vet Rewards?
Win!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Not that there's anything inherently irrational with greed, but.
Pay, Pay, Pay, its becoming a korean MMO, throw us a bone, one free slot at least.

go to a local drug store and buy one of those visa gift cards, you can use them on your account and they work just like a credit card.

This is awesome. My only question is what kind of payment is it. Is it a one time thing like the Wedding Pack or is it an addition to our monthly subscription?

Sir, please inform the developers that they have all earned a * for this added level of Awesome-ness piled atop an already great issue-to-be.

To address the issues of those who do not, can not, or simply will not use a Credit Card for NCSoft billing - instead preferring to buy Prepaid Time cards - might I suggest a Proportional Billing Scheme for such in-game purchases?
Specifically, the standard month-to-month rate is currently $15USD, for a nominal period of 30 days. This equates to one day of play time, for every $0.50USD.
Converting $10USD to game-time at that rate, results in a "cost" of 20 days.
Perhaps, where Game Time Cards have been applied, and no Credit Card is on file, NCSoft could simply move the billing date up by 20 days, for each $10 service purchased by such players?
[u]EXAMPLE:[u]
Bill has applied several months' worth of game time cards, and his next billing date is the 14th of August. He chooses to purchase 1 character slot on all servers, which carries a price of $10USD. In his case, he has no credit card on file ... so the client software offers him the option to advance his billing date by 20 days ... from {14 August} to {25 July}. Agreeing to this payment method, he also elects to move a single character, for another $10USD. Once again, the client software offers the option of advancing his billing date by twenty days, this time from {25 July} to {5 July}.
40 days of his Game Time Card have been consumed - days which bore a "value" of $0.50USD each, totalling $20USD ... exactly equal to the price listed for the two chosen transactions.
NCSoft loses no value; Bill loses no value. This is, in my opinion, a Win-Win solution.

Doh! \./ Ah well .
Just to reiterate, it is preferred that these be one-time purchases rather than incremental additions to subscription price.
And before someone else asks about it: No. There will be No powerset respecs .
*hops in line for more Virtue slots* 
Too bad I can't consolidate my two accounts and REALLY take advantage of this...
YOU WIN! I will marry NCS and bear it's digital children!

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement.
In reading through all the community feedback (US and EU) and player reaction from the recent announcement of Issue 12: Midnight Hour, the overwhelming consensus is that players would like to have access to additional character slots. With all the great reasons to roll a new character included in Issue 12, we certainly understand the desire.
We want to let you know that we are working on systems to address this community request. Our intent is add purchasable character slots to round out our existing services of Character Transfer and Character Rename. We hope to have this implemented and available shortly after Issue 12 Launch.
As always, we are happy to listen and respond to your requests. Thanks for your feedback and continued support.
