Same thing happened to me yesterday. I'm full on freedom so i go to delete a toon then once done the character slot becomes locked. I filied a petition in game so i hope I get this slot re opened soon
As soon as the store comes back up, your character slots will open again. For some reason, any slots beyond the starting 12 you have normally are tied to the store. So when the store is down, so are these slots.
Hopefully next time they can detach these things, but for now they are tied. Your slots should come back when the store comes back online.

So here there I was about to re-roll one of my characters, hoping to make a new one with when of the favorite names I had managed to use before. Cleaned out my old toon, deleted him, went to make a new one... and all the extra character slots I bought for my account way back when seem to be gone!
I saw that the "store" was unavailable, but I thought account maintenance was over and done with (on the 23rd).
Is it just me in this predicament or is it something widespread?

So I know its not just me at least, but I won't be happy if I lose that name I want to keep. :-(
L50 as a Tank, Mastermind, Soldier, Blaster, Defender & Brute so far. Still trying testing alts in search of my 'main'. So many possibilities!
