After hearing Cryptic Studios' Jack Emmert go on and on at GDC about how he hates micro-transactions, and how they're not the wave of the future, imagine my surprise at City of Heroes opening up micro-transactions for character slots after Issue 12: Midnight Hour, is released!

In reading through all the community feedback (US and EU) and player reaction from the recent announcement of Issue 12: Midnight Hour, the overwhelming consensus is that players would like to have access to additional character slots. With all the great reasons to roll a new character included in Issue 12, we certainly understand the desire.

We want to let you know that we are working on systems to address this community request. Our intent is add purchasable character slots to round out our existing services of Character Transfer and Character Rename. We hope to have this implemented and available shortly after Issue 12 Launch.

As always, we are happy to listen and respond to your requests. Thanks for your feedback and continued support.

Guess no one can deny the money that this would bring in, regardless of what one wants to do to oneself when discussing nickel and diming players!
