CoH and CoV were merged into the Good vs Evil Edition long before Issue 12 and every account was given 12 slots total regardless of whether or not they purchased both CoH or CoV.
No one ever had 10 slots.
I know this for a fact because my second account was created Feb 1, 2007 with an original copy of CoH I got for $5 bucks from Big Lots, and it started with 12 slots not 8 or 10. Issue 12 didn't start until May 2008.

If you bought the Good vs Evil Edition, you did indeed start with 12 slots. GvE wasn't when CoH and CoV were merged however, it was just a box release with both games included. GvE was released with a DVD that was updated through Issue 7. It was released in September of 2006, well before NCSoft bought out Cryptic. |

If you only bought City of Heroes or City of Villains (or if you bought both and didn't apply the new code to the existing account) you started with 8 slots. All players were granted 2 more slots with Issue 12's release, which was also when they started selling additional slots. That is also when they started awarding slots as part of the Veteran Rewards and they made those annual slot earinings retroactive.
NCSoft didn't buy out Cryptic until November 2007 and didn't fully merge the games until July 2008. After that, any purchase automatically got you both games or if you already had only one of them you now had both.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

The two free slots given out in Issue 12 were not given to each server. They were two individual slots and we had to pick a server we wanted them on and unlock them. And once unlocked they couldn't be moved. |

The game never had just 10 slots per server.
CoH/CoV were merged long before NCSoft's "official" date of merging when they grandfathered in all the inactive accounts that were created before the Good vs Evil Edition was launched.
Yes, they were two user assignable slots.
