I wish I had something profound to say. As I don't, I will just say "woot."
This is a great add. I can see a day I'll have 36 characters on Pinnacle as a result. I'm vaguely afraid that day will be in July of this year.
GREAT NEWS /e clicks heals
Now can I get back 1/2 the guys I deleted to make room for the new ones????? OK thought I'd ask.
Just glad no other toon needs to be "retired" to make new ones on my beloved protector server.
Applauds the free slots and the ability to buy for one server you guys really care about us. If anyone doubted that here's the proof.
Wewt! Two free slots, vet reward free slot for every year I've played, and reasonably-priced purchaseable slots? All of this to a maximum of THIRTY-SIX toons per server? 
Awesome!
I only have one complaint. This does not at all help reduce the CoX vs. College Education conflict. 
*cries doom*
QR.
WTH? I thought my altholism was going to decrease come issue 12.
I'll be getting about 3-4 slots once issue 12 hits.
But I'm still going to buy 2-5 just cause you guys are awesome!
Also, Issue 12 was the "light" issue? ? ? ?
EDIT: Also, the UI upgrades to ALL parts of the game for issue 12=epic win!
EDIT2: I can now roll those Human/Dwarf Peacebringer and Warshades I've always wanted to try and STILL have room for the VEAT and plant/therm controller I was going to roll on Infintiy when issue 12 hit.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
This is really, really cool. Ok, I still have a ways to go on filling my second account with Virtue toons, but cool nonetheless. 
Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level
Excellent.
Between Soldiers of Arachnos, Powerset Diversification and additional slots this update's second only to the day CoV went live.
Excellent... More opportunities to spread evil across the domains of my.... choice.

Issue 12 is full of so much win I haven't stopped smiling since each part of it has been revealed.
And just think the Roman zone, in game UI info (trays, contacts, etc) and VEAT Branching haven't even been all fully revealed yet!
And again, Issue 12 was originally supposed to be the "light" issue.

Excellent!
And though I will have some freebies inbound, I forsee spending a little bread as well to. and gladly so.
High Beam - 50 Blaster Energy/Ice - 1228 Badges
Munitions Mistress - 50 Mercs/Traps
Many Other 50's, Too Many Alts, All On Freedom
Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should!
Ok, having passed out twice after reading this I just need to post to say WOOOOOOOOT! THANK YOU!!
Google me at: 0118 999 881 999 119 7253
AWESOME implementation.
I like it.
Therefore NCNC is teh win
Good work folks.
I could kinda use some extra slots right now. I haven't had a free slot on my home server in a loooong time and I'd like to start reserving names for I12.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I'll have to get some clarification from the tech guys, but as I understand it the Training Room Test Server Environment touches against it's own authentication, test billing and account server. As such, anything done there would be separate from your live account. I'm not sure how Optional Character Slots will be tested or allowed to be used on Training Room. When we find out more details, we'll let you know.

The odds are, from that statement, the Vet slots will also appear on Test, then, duplicating live.
No certainties, of course.

La Pucelle (BS/SR)
Miseria Bella (Sonic/Dark)
Wrangler Annie (SS/Elec)
Coldsmoke (Ice/Dark)
Saber Maid (BS/Regen)
and others...
Thanks for an early Holiday time.
I'm wondering if the interface will let you see what zone your character is in. Right now it doesn't (the one on test)
ATs to 50 - TA/A Def, Nrg/Nrg Blaster, EM/EA Brute, WS,ELM/ELA Stalker
How about adding a 20 slot package for $60? ($3/slot)
And then a 50 slot package for $125? ($2.50/slot)
That'd help bring down the $1000+ price to a more reasonable level...
Wonderful implementation on this! Free slots, veteran slots, and paid slots - excellent business decision, something for everyone
53 Bots/FF/Mace Mastermind | 53 NRG/FF/Electricity Defender | 50 Time/Dual Pistols/Soul Defender | 50 Demons/FF/Mace Mastermind | 51 Necro/Dark/Soul Mastermind | 50 Thugs/Time/Mace Mastermind | 50 Ice/Ice/Arctic Tanker | 50 Plant/Rad/Earth Controller | 50 Illusion/Trick Arrow Controller | 50 Gravity/Force Field Controller
Yes, I like Force Fields.

Any chance a few free character transfers can be done thru vet rewards? If so then this will be the bestest feature ever.
[/ QUOTE ]More proof that People need to read moar!
Being able to buy moar slots? *good.*
Getting 2 free slots for the issue? *fantastic*
Getting even more free slots for vet rewards? *Awesome*
Getting all of the above? *Epic Win*
This is way better than I imagined it would be. Props to the devs.
Oh MY GOD! Do the devs even care about this game anymore? It is obvious that they have no intention of continuing to support or listen to there community and instead are driven to destroy the game by any means necessary.
They are nickle and diming us to death with micro-purchases and in-game ads that add nothing to the game at all.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! It is obvious that this is the first step in Server consolidation. Everybody will be moving over to Freedom, increasing there lag and leaving the rest of the game a ghost town.
And what will the Devs be doing with there ill-gotten gains? Watching Rome burn while playing the lute!!
Evil I tell ya....EVIL!
Sorry....this thread just needed some doom. I love LOVE LOVE this addition
Holy wow. I get 5 free slots. I was planning on buying that many. This is unbelievably awesome and incredibly cool.

Thank you! This is very much appreciated and is a far better implementation than I had dared hope for. The fact that it will be in Issue 12 makes it even better.
This will undoubtedly cause an outcry for getting Issue 12 out as fast as possible; please don't succumb to these pressures. I would much rather have everything in the release and working well the first time around.
