You're not, right?!?

Hard to tell P_F is always like this.
Just a guess, but *if* P_F is serious, I'd wager that it's because villain only players will always have less Vet slots than Heroes.
Regardless, fantastic!
6 free for me, and I won;t have to spend any cash upfront for i12, hell I almost want to give them some money for all the awesome as of late. May buy 5 slots that I don;t need as a thanks.
I don't think I've ever, EVAR seen a "new feature" thread with so much praise and win! This has definitely been a #1 QoL request among the population and it is so awesome to see the community reacting so positively! I love it!
A thread with almost no doom? Is this a sign of the Apocalypse?
2 free slots, Vet Rewards slots, and purchasable slots... All I gotta say is, WOW!
Hats off devs! Thanks for once again listening to our suggestions in making these great new system.
Now get the City Vault off the ground, and we're set
I'm buying out all 36 slots on Pinnacle. Not to use them, heck I only play 2 characters ( my main and my vil that I'm trying to hit 50 on ), but to boost the pocketbooks of NCNC.
Okay.. for someone who is brand new to the scene and doesn't have the first year vet reward yet.. hmm..
36 max slots per server - 12 standard slots = 24 slots x 11 servers = 264 slots needed to max - 2 free slots = 262 bought slots...
That's 260/5 = 52 x 5 slot sets at $19.99 and 1 x 2 slot set at $9.99 for a grand total of $1049.47...
Hmmmm... if I sell my car....
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Simply awesomesauce. 2 extra slots is all I need on my Freedumb. And the price's not bad either in case I ever need to buy them.
And also:

I am typically highly critical of the Devs, but this is by far the best and most thought out feature I have seen added to the game since beta of CoH.
Well done!
hehe I get to 6 slot Justice.

yeah - you assign on a one-slot-at-a-time (it looks like) basis.
And they can't give too many freebies, or some people will never use it :P
[/ QUOTE ]
Ok. And my issue isn't it's just 2. It's that they're 2 picked per server. I think the 2 associated with I12 improvements should be across all servers due to increased powers...but it's a minor issue I have. I still plan on buying 5 for $20.

But the system isn't set up to just give x per server, it is set up to give out x to be distributed. So that's why they can't jsut give 2 per/

Wow. Just wow. That's an astounding number of upfront, free slots from you guys, and well beyond what anyone could expect. I'm looking at 4 new slots on my server, with another fast approaching. I might actually buy some extras that I don't need, just to thank you guys for this work.
Thanks!

<ul type="square">[*] All current subscribers will receive 2 free Hero slots, each of which can be used on the specific server of their choice. This is to help you make new Heroes to take advantage of the new features of Issue 12, even if you already have maxed out your home servers character slots.
[*] 1 free Hero 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 Hero slot that the user can apply to the server of their choice. Thus, existing players will be eligible for up to 4 additional Hero 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 Hero and Villain 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:
1 Optional Hero Slot for a one-time fee of $5.99
2 Optional Hero Slots for a one-time fee of $9.99
5 Optional Hero or Villain Slots for a one-time fee of $19.99
[*] Players can have up to 31 Hero slots and 5 Villain 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.[/list]

This is so great and I will be buying a 5pack just to pad NC's pockets on top of the 3 free I'm getting.
1 Optional Character Slot for a one-time fee of $5.99
2 Optional Character Slots for a one-time fee of $9.99
5 Optional Character Slots for a one-time fee of $19.99
Me being able to make 1 of each VEAT branch PRICELESS
I was excited about i12. I was looking forward to some new content and some new character options. NCSoft even included some stuff that would make my life a little easier. Then they announced this... and it is better than I ever anticipated. Having recently survived a heart attack, I now must say I'm disappointed in NCSoft because all this stuff is too good and might induce another cardiac episode as I'm jumping for joy. Thirty-six slots... I'm feeling the angina now. The only way it could be... more... is if they announce the new vet reward as "You get to actually touch Hayden Panettiere/Masi Oka once per account."

O wait
Very Nice
I am defiantly looking forward to having more slots.
Just a thought, I know I am the least of the altoholics in my SG and I am considering buying 5 slots so I know if there was a package of 20 or 30 slots for $60 or $70 there would be quite few people jumping at the opportunity 
Very Awesome indeed
Our SG plays heroes and villains across two servers so I cant wait add a couple more toons to liberty and triumph
Very Sweet
Thanks devs

Um, 24 slots X 11 servers is 158 slots you would have to purchase.... for a low, low price of $1,040.

Heh, looks like they can afford to put in that espresso machine in the breakroom now....
And donuts! FREE DONUT FRIDAYS!!!
That should cheer up them grumpy devs...
While I'll most likely opt out from seeing the ads, I *will* proceed to shower NCSoft with money for slots and character transfers with this setup. You'll be able to afford that swimming pool now!
