Character slot question
How much you’ve played is irrelevant.
If you created your account before 23rd January 2015 (the day HoT was announced) then you will get the veteran character slot.
It will appear sometime on the first Friday after you add HoT to your account (because that’s when Anet checks and adds them).

First paragraph should answer your question.
Also, they give out the additional Vet Char slots once a week. So you probably wont get it right away. I had to wait a week for mine.
