VIP to premium slot math. What did I miss?

You should have the two slots that everyone gets, plus any extra slots past 12 that you either purchased directly or earned via the old vet system.
The issue, if there is one, is that you had unused and unassigned slots. They told us before Freedom started that we needed to assign those slots somewhere or we might lose them. It seems like you lost a couple somewhere.
My understanding, using myself as an example, would be that I have the two globals, plus 5 extra slots that I earned with vet rewards that I already put on Champion, so I'd only have two slots to assign wherever I want, and the 5 on Champion that stay there, though I can pick the characters I unlock on that server.
I would send an email to NCSoft (not Paragon Studios. NCSoft handles the accounts) and get clarification for your case. I think you should probably have the two more.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

My understanding had been that I would have those plus the 2 global that all non-paying accounts have. When I check I have the 7 server slots on my home server as I half expected plus the 4 unused global. Was I wrong to expect the "starter" globals or does my account have an issue I should pursue? |
Questions for you to help everyone:
- How many slots did you buy?
- How many extra slots did you have before Issue 21?
- Can you do a /mypurchases command (check out "A guide to finding out what you have unlocked from the market." for how to use easier) in-game and look for the line "Character slots" It should tell you how many you've got vs how many used on your account.

Say what? I don't recall that, and I had a lot of unassigned slots (10, I think) when Freedom went live.

- I have directly purchased no slots. All of my "extra" slots have come from veteran rewards or Going Rogue.
I had the same 4 unassigned global slots when i21 hit. Also the same 7 assigned server slots.Quote:- How many extra slots did you have before Issue 21?

Ok I have 11 slots with 8 used.And a big thanks for everyone's help.
It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

I'm glad that helped you solve the mystery. The assigned slots will stay on the server you have assigned them to. You have 3 slots to put on any server (except Exalted, unless you become a VIP again).|

I would recommend to anyone to NOT assign slots to Exalted if you even think you might go Free2Play. The reason is that you can potentially assign slots you can't use in that case.
