Storage Being Calculated Wrong

NOTE: As far as I can tell, this is only applying to old, pre-Freedom characters. New characters I create are fine.

The storage capacity on some of my characters is being miscalculated. I am a Tier 7 Premium player with no purchased additional storage. At level 50, I should have a base 50 Salvage Slots, +5 for one of the rewards in Tier 7, +2 for completing Tier 2, and +3 for completing each of Tiers 3 through 7, for a total of 69 Salvage slots on a character with no extra storage space from badges, etc. However, My most recent 50 (who has no earned storage increases) has 54 salvage slots. Likewise, I should have 32 Recipe slots, but only have 23.

My Vault Storage should be a base of 50 according to the Leveling Chart plus additional increases for Reward Level. I have room for 47 salvage in my Vault.

Even stranger is my Auction House. In it, I should have room for 16 items, plus 1 for the storage increase reward, plus 4 from Reward Tiers, plus one from badges, for a total of 22. I have room for 17, but the Auction House window says I only have room for 14. It lets me fill it up to a maximum of 17/14.

On other characters, the numbers are different, but are similarly miscalculated. Only on characters created since i21 are all the storage values correct.

Apparently, as a Premium player, I cannot edit my posts.

The character I was testing this on started with 16/13 auction slots. As I was selling stuff, I got a badge, and the display changed to 14, and I assumed it would allow me to get 17/14 In truth, I'm still limited to 16/14.

If dropping to premium results in you having more items on the AH than your new max they will remain there until retrieved (either as inf or as the item). Hence the Current > Max.
If you increase your max but it is still less than your current you still cannot store any more.

You will need to file a support ticket at https://support.cityofheroes.com/

There is nothing that we, the players, can do to assist you aside from giving information such as what Gaia has done.

From the description at the top of this forum section:

as a VIP i have not noticed discrepancies between my pre and post freedom characters (about 80% of my characters are post freedom but i have not seen anything wrong with them)

it sounds like there might be a bug with the premium account though so i would go and report it through the support link since you cant do it in game

Was there a resolution for this? I'm having the same problem.

To those who have submitted a support request, what kind of response did you get?

I submitted one a month ago and got a form letter saying it might be a bug, but it hasn't shown up on the Known Issues list.

The specifics for me are a little different from the OP. I started my account after Freedom, went VIP, then dropped back to Premium. I have the problem on every one of my characters, no matter if they were created before, during, or after the VIP period -- although only characters levelled while VIP have the disparity between real and displayed consignment house slots.

What seems to happen is that when I level, I get exactly half the storage slots the trainer says I'm going to get, and if this leaves me with a half-slot I can use it like a full slot. So when going up to level 3, I'm supposed to get 4 salvage slots, and instead I get 2. I'm supposed to get one consignment house slot, and I do, but then at level 4 I'm supposed to get another and I don't.

Yep, the form letter has been my sole response as well.
