Serious question:
Why stop at 48 character slots per server? Is there a serious hardware/server/software concern? Why not just let us go crazy!
That said, thanks for the higher character slot cap.
[edit: I honestly think the cap should be doubled to 72, and we should be able to filter our character select screen by alignment]

ok costume slots are global, time to get spendy
Dual inspirations? 20 more inspirations?
Add to this the IOs and Alphas... are there any reasons to think about a character anymore when you can just brute force your weaknesses into submission?
Begs the question: So, when do we get to pick and choose any power from any power set at any level for any archetype?
For example, I want a character that has some fire, mind, energy, henchmen, empathy, claws, super strength, willpower and super reflex powers all in one.
The day isn't a long wait before I get that, at this rate.
/just sayin, there sure be a lot of 'get out of wimp' items in the last few issues...
//maybe I'm just being all 'get off my lawn', and I need to not worry about it. 
///oh, and 'c h i n k s' is a legitimate word, and I find it offensive it's in the list, and had to replace it with 'weaknesses'.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
Question with the VIP Server Transfer
First month I get 1 server transfer. Next month rolls around and I didn't use my previous server transfer. Do I now have 1 or 2 server transfers now?

I think they said that transfers stock up.

The five extra slots begs the question:
What about VEAT's, who already get six costume slots - will they get eleven if they purchase this?

"Twelve More Character Slots. VIP players will be able to purchase 12 more character slots on each server, to maximum of 48 character slots per server. These additional 12 character slots can only be purchased by VIP players. Free and premium players will be able to purchase or unlock up to 36 character slots per server."
12 more character slots for 48 on one server??????
I.I.I am speechless, and so very happy.
And the ability to carry more enhancements....
Frosting on the cake....
Lisa dabs at the tears of joy welling up in her eyes...then smiles a mischievious smile..this almost makes up for the lack of a solo path to Incarnate goodness 
So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself
You've got the power
winners are losers
who got up and gave it just one more try

Good that you say which things are account wide.
This bit made me smile though

Which Team Inspirations don't grant benefit to your team and will they be sold for a discount? | Most Team Inspirations grant an Inspiration's benefits to your entire team. |
And, yes yes, I'm sure it may be technically accurate and there will be one that only grants part of its benefit or only to teammates who are in range or only teammates who are currently dead etc...
Always remember, we were Heroes.
I like the "Sale Ends in 18:00:00 hours" notice. That should help alleviate some of the concerns about pricing. It's like stuff in the real world - If you don't like the price, wait and see if it goes on sale.

If I remember when they raised it to 36, it IS a hardware issue that limits the number of slots. I don't remember the specifics, but it's hardware onm NCSofts side, not Paragon's. Remember every time the NCSoft ingame (well in character screen...) store is offline so are any extra slots you've bought.

Sure, if you want to spend RL money for inspirations, I would love it. The more money people spend on items like this, the faster things like powers will come out.

If someone has the disposable income to throw it away on consumables, then more power to them.
Honestly, if we're not talking PvP then who cares, anyway? Let someone else play easy mode. It doesn't affect my gameplay at all.
Are Signature Stories per month or one-time purchase? (I'm assuming per month.) And are they per character or per account? (I'm assuming per account?)

I would guess that sixth slot on VEATs has always been a bug, and it'll be fixed with i21 and the new five slots. My guess is that the sixth slot will show up with that extra costume in it, but be un-selectable unless one has purchased that slot through the Paragon Store.

COSTUME SLOTS!!!! I am so excited I could punch through the ceiling right now!
Account-wide isn't really that useful to me, but whatever. Five more costume slots! Yes please!

Good advice, if I want to solo. If I want to do the top level task forces or any level 50 team content nowadays, though, I'm along for the ride if I don't have an incarnate with a reactive interface and an ion judgement. It would be more correct IMHO to say that if you want a hard game, go incarnate and limit yourself to running trials and incarnate tf's.|

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not doomcrying or complaining (I loves my incarnates, really I do!), but I don't think I'm out of place by pointing out that many of these new additions that we (myself included) love and enjoy might just have the potential to trivialize the vast majority of teaming content. Incarnate powers are turned off when you exemplar, and I'm glad of it, but periodically I like to make my voice heard with regard to a preference for the preservation of some of the game's challenge, and when I see things like team and dual inspirations I can think of all kinds of ways to use them to abuse the current non-incarnate content. They won't be game-breaking, sure. But I do want to leave feedback.

not really trying to confuse but I haven't seen the video where they talked about this in a while and I'm only half using those brain cells for that anymore obviously.

I pose a question.
If you're a VIP player and you complete a Signature Story Arc, then go Premium, will you be able to do that arc again through Ouroboros or will you have to buy it/resubscribe again to access it.
