I'm missing 4. 5 standard hero, 5 standard villain, 2 epic hero, 2 epic villain, what are the other 4?
They may be considering Wolf/Bane/Crab and Blood/Fortunata/Night as six ATs, instead of two.

Huh? Sorry, what was that? I was rolling a new character.
Oh! The mantra?

One of us!

New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Altoholism is not a disease to be cured, it is a blessing to be nourished and cultivated.
For me, it's in two games (CoH, LOTRO).
Side note for those who might question how I would have time to play two MMOs: It doesn't take any more time than playing one. I don't live in front of the computer. It's a matter of options. Variety is good.

Free slots? Possibly.
12 more slots per server? No.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thing is, if they come out with some free slots for Going Rogue, seems like they kind of jibbed the people who already bought out their home servers, doesn't it?
[/ QUOTE ]
If I know anything about people who have 36 slots, it's that they actually want more, not a reason to hate having bought those original slots. If anything, adding more slots is the only way to be FAIR to those people. We have 18 ATs right now with specific powersets and combinations, with 36 slots. If we double that by allowing the ATs to cross sides, add more powersets, and possibly new ATs without giving them more slots to try them, that's pretty lame!
It's kind of like the free CoV thing. Knowing now that the odds are rather high that EVENTUALLY Going Rogue will be offered free like CoV was, will you wait the undefined amount of time (possibly 2 years+), or is buying it when it comes out worth it to you?
There will eventually be some people who try to twist it around because they feel they deserve the stuff for free, but you bought it because it was worth it to you. If you didn't think it was worthwhile, why did you buy it?
[/ QUOTE ]
I agree with this. o.q
While I would be ecstatic at the idea of getting more character slots unlocked on my server of choice (over the capacity), I wouldn't exactly be upset about it. I've have alt servers I can dump the slots to, after all. But anything to help me manage my OCD (more on that in a second) would be lovely. If they do add more slots with an expansion, it'd make a bit of sense (to me) to increase the per-cap server, but it's not really necessary.
I'm OCD, at least a little. I have all 30 (on the dot) of my character slots very specifically arranged. The number is 30, because I'm allowing for upward growth when I hit year-milestones that grant a character slot award, and purchasing more then I already have would skew the numbers and give me spare slots I don't really need (though I can buy 2 more and be fine, it's not cost efficient). I limit myself to 3 characters of any one particular Archetype, so that I can increase the chances that I will have one character of each archetype (Scrappers, Blasters, Controllers, Dominators, and Corrupters are really stressing this list; My villainside is actually better off then my heroside, because I've sworn off ever making another Mastermind). I, at all times, have at least one character of each archtype. They're all ordered by level, and after that, alphabetically by AT (not by character name).
...another 12 slots would let me adjust my current figures to include 4 of each AT, and allow me to maintain my ratios without throwing everything completely out of wack. Not necessary, but it'd be a nice boon.
I don't think they'll need to add another page, though.

Two are because Widows and Soldiers can branch off into other paths and can be something totally different, so while they aren't really a new "AT," they have a totally different role and function.
The other two you can either blame on Huntsmen or khelds who are built as human-only rather than with forms. But whatever you do, DON'T blame it on my quick mental math being off because I was posting early in the morning before work while getting dressed.

Yeah I guess I could see that, I bought them all fast because the Altoholism got to me. Before then I had Champion's 12 slots filled, then just about every other server filled with toons which would get neglected. I just wanted to be able to tell myself I had a build, even though I'd never play it.
Since the increase I've actually been playing all these alternate builds I've wanted. I do have 11 50s, 10 on Champion and 1 on Virtue thanks to a level pact with a friend. But without the level pact I wouldn't have ventured beyond Champion.
I think maybe another slightly less supported option would be to be able to trade slots from one server for slots on another server. I'd be willing to trade all 12 on multiple servers to get more for Champion.

I'm thinking all 4 blame on VEATs Fortunat/Widow/Bane/Crab all very very different.
edit: That would be in addition to their starting AT, I was thinking. Which works for soldier as can stay huntsman/soldier..go Bane.. or crab.. but that would not work so well for wido as they become Forts or remain widows.. so sorry.. still short one lol
