I'm VIP, but my characters are still locked?

As I understand it, it doesn't unlock your characters automatically when you go VIP, it gives you a bunch of server slots and you choose which ones to unlock.

If you only had the default slots unlocked a server, when you become VIP again, the first 12 will be unlocked automagically.|

In the case where you have more (I'm not sure if 13+ slots does it, or 13+ characters is necessary) on a server, then you have to manually unlock them. Which is actually pretty nice, since on my home server I've about 28+ characters... several of which I have no interest in playing... and instead of blowing an unlock on one of them, I can, instead, use it on an empty slot and make a new character!

Well, that makes sense. I still think it's annoying how it doesn't really explain that, but at least I got it so what ever.

That's not what happened to me when my subscription briefly lapsed a couple of months ago. All my characters stayed locked, including the first 12, and I had to manually unlock them all.
Personally I found it a pita, but as the OP said, at least you get the unlocks, so with a bit of effort you can fix it.

No no, I meant if you had only the default slots on a server, then the default slots are automatically reunlocked. If you had bought any more (and possibly made characters in that slot, I'm not sure which of the two it goes by), then you have to unlock them each.|

I'm on a temporary resub (slight oops with points purchase,etc) and had to re-unlock my toons.
I must be missing some thing. I thought VIP players could use all of their characters, but all of mine except the ones I paid to unlock while I wasn't subscribed are locked.
What's the issue? If I unlock them will it use up one of my unlocks that I paid for?
EDIT: Never mind, I took the chance and just unlocked some. Apparently it's just making me choose which ones to unlock since I have more than 12? Although it looks like I still have enough spaces available, due to veteran rewards and such, to have all of my characters unlocked...
Either the way this works is really dumb or I'm totally missing some thing.
