Join another server. You've got plenty of available slots out there to use.

But all my peeps are on this server! Why should I have to leave my peeps?
Please, think of the peeps!

Why good sir, I offer unto you a deal.
12 new slots on each and every server.
All you have to do is pay an additional 15$/mo.
But they won't have any vet rewards.
Alternately, you can transfer characters to other servers to make room. Do you have any worthy of exile?
Do you have any worthy of, dare I say....deletion?

i've got a second, was given to me by someone who left the game, so that's a possibility, but it's my second choice.

This would be a decent thread for cross posting an idea I had (based off someone's suggestion of lowering subscription rates):
Multi-tiered subscription rates:
For $10/month you get 8 slots per server, with a maximum of 12.
For $15/month you get the current.
For $20/month you get 18 slots per server, with a maximum of 60.
For $100/month you get 120 slots per server, with no maximum. And as a free gift you get the jet pack, too! (.. I'm kidding, but I could almost see someone doing it.)

The problem there is, what if you've got 120 characters on your server of choice, and your Internet startup goes bust and you have to ramp back your game spending to the bare minimum? Do you have to delete 112 of them?

I thought you meant costume slots...which would have me mauling someone until it happened...

Couldn't you ask your peeps to use some slots on another server? They're bound to be running out of slots too.|

Or scarier yet, those peeps probably play on other servers when they're not around you!

Well, the 120 slots was a joke.
But to handle the others:
If you change to a lower cost subscription, you keep all the slots you had up to your account maximum*.
Any characters you had above and beyond the account max would be held, but unplayable (your choice which ones you could access), until you either upgraded your account again, or purchased server transfers.
*potential issues I see:
Person buys 1 month of 18 slots, then cuts down to 12 slots the next month, gets 6 slots for $5.
solution:
If they have had the account type for less than 6 months, when they down-grade, they have to choose between either paying for the slots or lose access to those slots.
Person upgrades to 18 slots from 12 to get the 6 slots, keeps it up for 6 months, drops it a month and repeats, to get "free slots"
Solution:
None. Player is an idiot and paying $30 over 6 months to get 6 slots, as opposed to $20 to get 5. In 13 month they would rack up 12 slots for $60, for $60 you can just buy 15.
...
Once again, this is just a random idea. Maybe not something they SHOULD do.
My name is Jawbreaker, and i'm an altoholic. I play on Virtue and have no slots left. NEED MOAR SLOTS! I've purchased all i can and used one free vet slot.
I'll pay for more on my capped server, anyone else need this as badly as i do?
