JayboH,

Thank you for the update on this issue.

As to the character slot bit, those are no longer provided for yearly subscriptions to City of Heroes. Global character slots that were once given out for each year of active service were calculated for all existing game accounts at the time of City of Heroes Freedom's launch back on 9/27. More specifically, this article covers how character slots work for game accounts:

Answer Title: Character Slots

There's a segment on that page that addresses the year-specific character slot part, and it says:

"If your account was active before the launch of City of Heroes Freedom:

•A Going Rogue serial code is worth 2 extra global character slots. This includes codes from boxed copies of Going Rogue. However, the code must have been applied before the launch of Freedom.

•Other editions of City of Heroes or City of Villains purchased before the launch of Freedom will not grant additional character slots.

•Accounts created before the launch of City of Heroes Freedom will receive one additional character slot for every year (12 months) that it was active. This bonus does not count time after the launch of Freedom."

The kind of character slot accrual that your'e referring to (1 per year) was part of the former Veteran Rewards system, and that has since been replaced by the Paragon Rewards system. This means that your game account already has everything that was due for it, for the history of membership/subscription service to the game, up until the point of launch for City of Heroes Freedom.

From this point forward, the only area for potential concern is when it's time for the monthly-based VIP rewards to be applied (server transfer tokens, Paragon Points stipend, and Paragon Reward Tokens). I use that phrase (potential concern) loosely, because as long as the game account remains on an active VIP subscription those items will award on a monthly basis.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I'm saving them for costumes. There's nothing I want in the repeatables.

I have 36 unspent reward tokens. I have no clue what I am going to do with them. I had spent some on xp boosts, and unslotters, but thanks to super packs I will never have to do that again. I guess I will wait and see what is on the tree after tomorrow.

Hoard them! Hoard them like they're prize golden carrots full of carroty goodness! Hoard them I say!!!

It looks like there are going to be lots of those tokens sitting around all over the place after them being so sought after for the tier 9. Hit T9 around Christmas, sitting on 10 now. They will just keep piling if they only get spent on the costumes, and if the super packs they trade for in beta are the exact same as what's already in the market, then I already have everything I want from them too.

The best thing to do is just let them pile up some more and wait to see if anything more gets added in the future, or buy those summon things that aren't in the super packs :P

Madness!
