Question About F2P VIP Feature

OK I found the Side-By-Side Comparison which makes that quote make more sense. On the VIP page it just posted with no context what-so-ever So it makes more sense on the Comparison Chart. Though it doesn't entirely clear up whether or not I will lose slots. It does seem to imply that I wont.

Not sure how you could misread that.| "Get 12 per server, plus slots that were unlocked or directly purchased." |
Any slots you've purchased, you get to keep to reassign. Any slots you've earned through veteran rewards, you get to keep to reassign. Any slots you've earned otherwise, you get to keep to reassign.

There are many things in the game that take slots. That statement was non-specific.
And you didn't read my post. Its not in a ROW or a Table is on the VIP page as a BULLET point. Nothing MORE. What you are thinking of is Comparision Chart, which I updated my post with info of after I saw it saying, "I found the Side-By-Side Comparison which makes that quote make more sense. On the VIP page it just posted with no context what-so-ever So it makes more sense on the Comparison Chart"
Where is this Picture does it say character slot?

[Edit: Looking at ONLY the VIP tab it does have no indication of what type of slots they mean... but I think the mesage is still fairly clear that nothing is lost... if you can determine they mean Character Slots, which the OP clearly did.]
Here is another question. I'm reading the Rewards system and converting from the old Veterans System. The Tiers contain many items (probably all items) from the current Veterans System and more. They are giving us tokens for each badge we already have. But it doesn't say what happens when we reach a reward in the tier that we had already gotten via the Previous system.
Are they going to be taking those away from us and we have to re-acquire them with the tokens or will they be auto checked off for us?

"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

You're absolutely right though, with all the changes that are coming with this change, it's entirely possible to look at this and initially think "oh wait, does this mean they're taking stuff away from us". I'm still incredibly skeptical about Freedom, but the fact that everything we have now translates to the new system is a slight relief.

I like what I read about the new systems I'm all like "AWESOME YAY!", but I also get worried...

I'm the same way, at this point. There's been too many let-downs in the past few years for me to not worry.

I know what you mean. PARAGON is doing a decent job, but I miss Cryptic Studios. I can't help but think they would have done things a little different. I love some of the things they have done with Champions, but even with the a 360 controller that game is soo hard to even move. Plus the women have necks longer than my Lamp.

Also, it is confusing to edit a post BEFORE the post you are quoting and talking about in the thread.

I read your edit, and decided not to go back and edit mine and just leave it as it was. I did mention character slots, but that was just assuming, which I was brought up to never do. Complete out of context it is confusing and you admitted to that.|

Yes, there are. But, in your first post, you mentioned character slots... ergo, it would seem you worked out what was meant. And YOU didn't read my edit. Also, it is confusing to edit a post BEFORE the post you are quoting and talking about in the thread. |
Also Yeah it was confusing to add it to the post before. I agree to that.
The website says and I quote, "Get 12 per server, plus slots that were unlocked or directly purchased."
I find this to be poorly worded and confusing. It sounds like they are saying VIP members with have 12 Character slots Per Server. I currently have 19 on my main Server, so does that mean when the game goes Freedom I will lose 7 slots? (and subsequently 6 Toons)
