All of my unused character slots are missing - all 5. Just suddenly gone after today's serve maintenance.

The online Store is down. All unused slots beyond your original 12 will be unavailable until it comes back up.

Like BayBlast said, there are several other threads about this. The Dev's don't just hate YOU, they hate ALL of us equally. lol

Obviously I don't think the Devs hate any of us. It's a joke.

Well it happened to me too. I was going to remake a toon, deleted it and poof my character slot is gone.

This shoddy bug-ridden nonsense every time a new issue comes out is stupid. That's what the beta testing they drag out is supposed to be for. I don't even want to know why my character slots are linked to the store either so that I lose them when it goes down. >(

I don't know why they are linked to the store either. It seems to me that CLAIMED slots should automatically reserve that space on the server, and the store shouldn't be involved at that point. But anyway.. it doesn't seem to have anything to do with i16s release, or any kind of bug. It's just an inconvenience due to downtime.

Search is your friend.
It's always good to know sarcastic bitter people will be the first to respond; not with a recap of what the problem is and then a link - but a snarky, biting comment to the link.

Therapy is your friend.

Actually, BayBlast has never struck me as being sarcastic or bitter.

I see nothing snarky or biting in his comment.

TJ would be your friend, but he doesn't do friendships well.





(yes, TJ was being sarcastic with that last line, but not bitter)

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

First of all, it's a new issue. There will be bugs.

You will get countlessly more issues addressed when an issue goes live; the beta testing is just a fraction of the population. More testers, more problems found. And this issue wasn't even seen on the beta server, so now that it IS seen, aren't you glad there's going to be a fix?

Where did you buy your character slots?

I normally don't call someone out like this, but come ON man, it's just a temporary problem. If Paragon Studios came out and said "Sorry, Online Store is gone for good", THEN I would understand.

Wait. If the store goes down, it will come back. Don't be so self-centered. The sheer amount of self-entitlement I felt radiating from your post drove me to reply.

You forgot this:
Second of all, the slots being gone has nothing to do with a new issue.

Where did you hear that? If the slots are regulated by the Store, then they will continue to be missing any time the store is down. That's apparently the way it's always been. The only thing different about last week is that the store has been down for several consecutive days, so people are noticing it more.

This is getting a little like that running gag with Jeff Goldblum's character in The Right Stuff.

"It's called Sputnik!"

"We know. Siddown."
