I am definitely cravimg info. The two thimgs I most want to know:
1) Can I buy/gift stuff to friends easily? Like could I pay for unlocking content for a friend?
2) Will we be able to buy a 4th page of characters? One dev comment that came from either comic con or a ustream chat said that they agreed with the idea or that they liked it. But right now my head is banging on the ceiling. I am having to delete level 40+ characters every time I want to make something new.

I think they should be able to do the second one, of course there may be some code limitations they need to work around, but I would think it is possible.|

I'm not sure if they would do the first one or not. It seems to me that it may be possible to abuse that. Buying the ability to play AE arcs on a F2P account means that anyone could create a second account with 1 character on it and use that 1 character to PL all their other characters. (Of course, first they would have to PL the new char on the F2P account). And I'm sure there are other examples that could be considered worse.

They don't need gifting to be able to do that - if they have both accounts, they can just spend the money on the second account to unlock AE and anything else they feel they need for PLing.

Just saying.

Brandx,
Obviously.
But due to my own personal quirks, no other servers exist for me. I already have 3 maxed out accounts, and I am unwilling to play on other servers or open a fourth account. So I am simply hoping for more flexibility. Does wanting this, and being willing to pay for the privelidge make me a bad person or something?

Except F2P accounts can buy points themselves anyway. If one person own two accounts they can presumably use their credit card to buy points for either account. I figure it's a given that a decent portion of people will probably have a second account for power leveling but it's probably not the end of the world if they do. After all there are plenty of ways to power level now, a second account just simplifies it.

I was merely commenting that you do have options

Brandx,
Heh. You dont know me very well, do you? Options exist, but not for me. I'm trapped in here with me and I can't get out! It is not for nothing that I am known among friends as "quirkman".

I was pretty much done with trying to get information after I found out the Laser Rifle set won't have wah-wah lasers.

48 character slots would be good. 60 character slots would be great. I'd even buy 72.
As for the topic... to be honest?
I'm starting to get anticipation burn out. I have the ideas for characters all in my head, but they're stuck there till Freedom Launches. I want to play them and thus other characters I currently have I'm not playing. Information comes out as a trickle every here and there, and there are big questions that I'd love to know the answers for but don't, and the devs don't have them or can't give them yet. (The main one being the pricing for EU players for Paragon points. $5 = 400 Paragon Points, but if £5 = 400 Paragon Points I'm getting shafted by about 260 points in dollars worth at current exchange rates. If they can say for definite that it's going to be your currency converted to $5 or and equivalent price in your currency (so in this case £3 for 400 points or £5 for 660 points) I'd rest easier.)

You can get someone else for 2,400 Paragon Points. Or, you can buy five players for 10,000 PPs.

1. We're not planning on "gifting" functionality at launch. There's about a million Customer Service related nightmares with this functionality, and while we definitely recognize it as an oft requested feature, it will not be available. |
