Enigmatic City of Heroes redname Ghost Falcon has drawn players' attention to an important point: the offer of two free character slots just for logging in won't last forever. When Issue 12: Midnight Hour went live, bringing with it the long-awaited code for additional purchaseable character slots, all players who logged in were able to claim two slots for free. Long-term players got even more, but everyone was granted at least two - which is conveniently just enough to start one Soldier of Arachnos VEAT and one Arachnos Widow.The patch notes at the time explained that this wouldn't be a permanent offer, but some players may have overlooked this. As Ghost Falcon explains, 'Please note that the free two slots are only being given to "active" accounts that log into the game during this gift window. If your account is active, but you've never logged in, you're not getting your two free slots when the window closes.' The good news is that NCsoft hasn't yet specified a closing date for the window. Nonetheless, if you're thinking about coming back to CoX, or just pondering logging in for long enough to claim the freebies, now is a good time to do it.
