Further Clarification, re: Free Slots
Wow, what a flap. As just posted to the official boards:"I stand corrected.
I checked with our Engineering team to make sure that this is accurate. I didn't want to state something and then have to correct myself again.
1) If a player logs in during the two free character slot "gift" window, then those slots are placed in player's character slot inventories. Character Slots within your inventories can never be removed, even after the gift window closes.
2) If a player NEVER logs in during the character slot "gift" window, the window closes, then any new or re-activated player will never get the two free slots.
Please note that the free two slots are only being given to "active" accounts that Log into the game during this gift window. If your account is active, but you've never logged in, you're not getting your two free slots when the window closes.
3) Once a character slot (via Veteran Reward, free gift or purchased slot) is placed within a Player's Inventory, then the order in which they redeemed is irrelevant.
When we decide to end the two free character slot window, we will give advance notice." -- Ghost Falcon
So, that clears that up. If you log in during the gift time, you get the slots, period. They're yours, use them only when you like, they aren't going away.
