Training Room Slot Problem

The Training Room is saying that all my unused character slots are locked and unavailable. Usually, this happens when the in-game store is down, but it's up and running.

If I purchase a slot and attempt to redeem it, the window tells me that the slot is going to be redeemed on Training Room02. o_O

Deleting a character locks the slot they were in. I need to have 11 or less charcters before I can make a new character.

I'm not sure if copying a character over works or not. I have one that I sent over about 5 mins. ago, and I'm still waiting for it to show up. Since it can take up to 30 mins. I may have to wait a bit to see...

Edit
OK, the copied character showed up just fine. So, you can copy characters, and you can make new characters IF you have 11 or less. You can NOT make new characters if you have 12 or more, and any slots you redeem are unlocked on Training Room02.

I had this issue last night. After I deleted all characters over 12, I was able to redeem unlocked slots after "purchasing" them again.

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

Interesting. It still says that it's redeeming the slot on Training02, but it unlocks them on the server. I wonder if everything got moved to Training02 duing the 01/08/10 maint, and this is one of the consequinces. ALL Global Chat Channels are gone, too.

This sucks, because I have characters on my main account on the Test Server that I don't want to delete. :|

Edit
It seems that you only have to go down to 12 characters in order to redeem slots, and not 11, as I was thinking. I started deleting characters that were only there for small, quick tests, and when I had 12 left, the two slots I had purchased earlier showed up.

Still, it's a royal PITA to have to "buy" and unlock all 48 additional slots agian.

*If* one were one in Closed Beta and *if* one found that they had locked costume slots past the default twelve that they can't open up; then the solution would be to keep buying slots and keep redeeming them and then the slots will open up.

The problem is that your extra slot count has been reset to zero. So, if you have five extra slots in use, you'll need to buy and redeem six to open up another slot.

Well, *if* I had only twelve slots and *if* I had deleted a couple of heroes so that I *theoretically* could roll a new character and the slots were still locked, what should I do *if* such a hypothetical situation should occur?

We all understand, of course, that this is for when Beta goes Open.

Is this officially explained somewhere? Or did someone just figure it out somehow?

I think a Dev or Mod stated that Training Room doesn't charge. You can't really test a new feature by charging players every time they try it out. So, no code was attached to it to actually charge you. You don't even need to have a card on file to purchase slots, respecs, MA Story slots, renames, or transfers.
