I just purchased the HoT and I’m a little upset there isn’t a character slot included. So the only way for me to start a new character is to purchase an additional slot for $10.00 or delete one of my 7. After I just spent $50 on the expansion? I know that back when HoT first came out Arenanet was refunding the expansion price to people who had purchased before a set date and giving character slots to others. I understand I missed the date and had to pay the full price for the expansion pack but no additional character slot stings a little. For what its worth I pre-bought the collectors edition of Guild Wars 2 along with all of the original Guild Wars.
