RSN: TRY A PALADIN FOR FREE 11/16/2004 12:17 PM CST
Dateline 11/16/2004: TRY A PALADIN FOR FREE

In order to allow all GemStone players the opportunity to try Paladins without sacrificing existing characters, we will TEMPORARILY increase all accounts' character slots by 1 through January 2, 2005.

On January 2nd, we will remove the additional character slot. If, at that time, there are too many characters on your account, we will select one to remove along with the slot. To prevent us from removing the incorrect character, please either add an extra character slot to retain the character ( https://www.play.net/gs4/signup/subscribe_char.asp ) or delete the character of your choice ( https://www.play.net/gs4/play/delete_character.asp ) before that date.

If we do remove a character you would have preferred to remain, you can contact the billing department at billing@simutronics.com or 636-925-3172 to have the character returned to your visible character list, but it would be best to prepare by January 2, 2005 by amending your account to your wishes.

(For the sake of clarity, Paladins are NOT currently released. However, we are making the slots available now so that they will be ready when Paladins go live.)

On the other hand...

You might look at this as a precedent-setter for when they roll out Monks [free character slot for 45 days] and Savants [free character slot for 45 days].

.

You can hope, right?

that's an easy fix, call simutronics and tell them to make a change, that has actually happened to me before it took less than 10 minutes to fix it.

Just because it's easy to fix doesn't mean people won't complain about it.

How about odds on the number of posts of people claiming they never knew they had to do it?

I believe that is the original post. I know I saw it the first time I viewed the post shortly after it was posted.

Say you have an account with 2 slots on it.
Do you now get charged for 1 slot, or do you still get charged for 2, and now have a third slot?

If it's the second case, can you delete the extra slot to get an already existing extra slot for free?

You still pay for whatever you are paying for.

But now you have 1 additional character slot. So if you had basic with 1 extra slot. You would pay for basic with 1 extra slot, but have basic with 2 extra slots.

So in other words, no, You don't pay for the extra slot they are giving us. And it is added onto how everymay slots you currently have. Its a free extra*/*additional character slot

<< I don't know what I was thinking. >>

And I am sure you'll say the same thing in a few months when they take the extra slot away.
