[Suggestion] Free Char slot with xpac
It doesn’t mean a whole lot, but they did add slots with the GW1 games.

WoW did this for MoP, don’t mean to harp on WoW too much, but it was awesome since if you’ve been playing forever your character slots are probably full. Not normally such a big deal since you can just buy character slots and you have to weigh which classes you want to make and what not. But now that they’re adding content, I feel like that weighing situation has shifted drastically. Now people have to choose to either drop extra cash on top of the cost of xpac for a character slot or delete one of the toons that they’ve invested time and effort into. Just an idea…
There is a strong chance that due to the fact that we are getting an xpac with a new class, and the fact we have to buy the xpac that they will provide a new slot for us.
If not, put aside 2g a day and you will have your char slot. There will definitely be a sale between then and now if they don’t plan on giving one away.
Despite not being entitled to it, it isn’t necessarily a bad idea. I suspect people may feel less happy paying $29 for the expansion + $10 for a character slot than they would paying $34 for an expansion that includes a character slot. Of course, not everyone that buys the expansion would also purchase an extra slot separately, so Anet would probably come out ahead on the deal. Besides, if the “free” slot entices more people to create new characters then they also get a chance to sell extra bag slot upgrades and other unlocks or goodies.
