Hummm... It look like they are just removing gold subscription. A f2p can just buy the new package with 1500 zen and get the actual gold advantages minus free form slots.
I got about 32 or 34 slots and only 17 are used atm but let's all be honest here: since the revamp in the past 2-3 years CO is no longer alt friendly btw.

It's true, what I'm hoping for, is that people will stop making dumpster alts, and focus on 2-3 chars, and get their builds setup really tight, and get them geared up properly, so they can actually contribute to the stuff, rather than leeching all the time.

I'm sure that is the intent behind this but with the current player base and so many LTS/Gold working the system, a major part of the fun of this game is making new characters and looking good. a few people have 200+ alts at 40 just sitting there not being used. makes my 24ish characters look puny by comparison.To emphasize the refocusing to main characters they are adjusting how costume slots work too. it looks like now, like with auras, you can only buy costume slots on a per character basis. But it will be much cheaper.
I really hope they do set up a silver->FF slot conversion item because if you are a gold that lets the sub lapse or maybe a former gold coming back, any main you had with all their bound gear/titles/currency will be stuck on an unplayable or nerfed into archetype character. That would really piss me off if i was unable to resub and get them back. but for silver scrubs like me this is an excellent opportunity to get power color customization and all those other perks. too bad i already own most of the costumes/cash limit items. might have to see if i can farm up 1500Zen on my secondary account to unlock all that for it as well.
Honestly the price they put on it looks jsut too good to be true, it's almost free. almost. i expect the price to jump way way up within a few months. at the very least the Q-exchange market is gonna cap out again.
all that said, i do kinda miss the pre-"On-Alert" days when you could get to 40 and have as good of gear as everyone else in a matter of minutes, back when crafting mattered. but now gear matters, builds matter, the game is less about roleplay/screwing around and more about learning the strat so you dont waste 40 other people's time (unless you are trolling). imo gear treadmills and rng "crafting" are bull*censored* but i've become a filthy casual in my old age, so my opinion no longer matters i guess.

Before getting too elitist with hoping people change how they enjoy the game to a way you think they should, you might want to hope this change doesn't kill the small playerbase that was left.

Late to the party.
Going to level an alt to 40 and see if the free slot opens up still.

Bad news, good news situation.
Bad news - the change has dropped. It wasn't loudly advertised, but leveling to 40 to unlock a new slot has been changed, because it was considered a BUG! I used to think it was a FEATURE of subscriptions! Shows how little I knew.
Good news - you can buy a new slot now for, instead of 700 Zen each, for just 100 Zen (or 5 slots for 400 Zen, 10 new slots for 700 Zen)! And this week there's a "services" sale, and these new slots are considered services. I'll be honest, I don't think I leveled a toon to 40 since last calendar year. With a single month's stipend, I can unlock 5 slots. I actually prefer buying new slots at these low prices than leveling any more.
Best news for Silver players - a Freeform character slot is now only 3000 Zen, instead of the previous 5000 Zen.
I SHOULD be outraged because they changed a feature into a bug, but I like the new prices for character slots so much I'm actually quite happy.

Oh well, will finishing leveling anyway but thanks for the heads up. Only have 8 40's since my usual mains are the ones I really enjoy playing. Got a few toons I wouldn't mind leveling up just for the enjoyment of playing. Still only have the one lvl 40 crafter though.
I still have 6 unused slots. Just blew all my zen getting a few more 20key packs and opening up a few more 20 slot shared bank space. Got so many stupid lock boxes in my shared vault space. I have all the different types, even a heap of those old hover tank lock boxes sitting there. Not to mention the old gear that actually gives costume unlocks (SMGs, Pistols, lots of swords) and 'power' on use clickies. Think I even have some old crafting mats in one of the old SG vaults I never got around to converting.
Game has changed so much.
There's no way I can complain about changes to the game as I've got more than my fair share out of it based on costs. Been here since beta on a LTS. I even remember when clicky offence abilities stacked to some downright stupid alpha strikes.

New prices are cool but i dont think i'll be buying anything until i find out if/when that silver upgrade thing comes through.
It amuses me that to get an extra bag slot it now costs 2.5 times as much as the character slot did.
if anyone has the time to test it, now that costume slots are character bound please make a new one and see if old account bound costume slots still show up on new characters. thanks.
