Slot unlock = hang, pre-used slots

Haven't run across this, and I don't see it mentioned.

Back to Premium, of course, so I'm unlocking characters. With two (on two different servers,) I'm showing "Server slots 0/0" (which are servers I didn't buy extra slots on, so that's fine - but leads to something else I'll mention in a moment.) So of course I go to use a global unlock token.

Slot gets unlocked, but the game locks up tight.

I'm assuming (yes, I know) it's more a client communication issue, as Windows (win7x64) thinks it's still running just fine. Still need to pull up task manager and kill it, though.

This did not happen on any server I have *server* unlocks handy (for instance, Pinnacle, where I had 18 usable.) Those zipped right through. Haven't tried it on unused slots.

I mentioned "Something else" about server slots showing 0/0 - apparently I had two characters "pre-unlocked" over on Virtue since dropping back down to Premium. And yes, I'm very certain I hadn't unlocked them since dropping down.
