Free Character Slot
-William Shakespeare
Edit: Oh I misread your post; the free slot was added to all accounts that were created before January 23rd 2015, before which accounts are considered as being a “veteran”. They are given out in weekly batches every Friday, but some note that it took up to 10 days for their slot to appear.
(Old post: I presume the “special anniversary gift” was the Royal Guard Outfit.
Of course, you could also consider they were talking about the 3-year birthday box.)
This is from the article about the addition of free accounts to the game:
Will existing players who bought the base game be getting any bonuses?Earlier this year, right after we introduced our pre-purchase program for Heart of Thorns, we gave a free character slot to all existing players. This week we also have a special anniversary gift for all of our existing players [following up on this].
I do not remember a free slot for everyone? Was it a special event?
PR speak for you got one when your bought the HoT expansion after the uproar. Then it was “given” for “free”.

No, after they faced quite a kittenstorm about their pricing model of HoT they “generously” gave people who pre-purchased HoT that free character slot. If you decided not to pre-purchase, no free character slot.
unless I’m confused or something – free character slot is only given to people buying specific editions of expansion. becasue I don’t have any free character slots either, and I’ve been playing on and off since early access.
Got it. I thought I missed it because he said “all existing players.”

How about some free gems for spending 60$
If your account was made before January 23 (give or take a day or two) of this year, you would get a free character slot IF you pre-purchased HoT (any version of it). So, they basically just worded that badly.
lol they knew what they were doing.

A bad wording that to a surprising extent displays ANet in a favorable light compared to what really happend. If I were a bad person I’d even suspect that wording was deliberate
