Charactor Slots

Ok I am a bit lost with the system used here. I have never seen one like this before.
What i am used to is all servers character slots to be separate per server, an ability to open all char slots on servers to a max of classes offered. (8 in most cases) via a one time buy the game option.
What i have read so far is all servers share your character limit, so for free players, you can make 2 chars only, they can be on different servers but you can not make more then 2.
The foundry packs all offer different character limits and none offer the ability to open all character slots and certainly not per server.
As a person that love alts and always plays on more then one server with friends (most times maxing out that char slots per server), this limit and options chosen with this game are enough to make me not interested in playing it. I understand there is the option to buy an extra character slot but I do not see an option to open all character slots up.
I know if it remains this way, people will walk away from this game and i will be one of them. Since this is still beta i ask you to consider changing the way this is done. This is certainly a big issue to me.

Also, you can purchase up to 50 character slots.

I assume that there is some way to make money in game (other than questing). If you can buy the slots in-game and use the Zen you've made in-game, then there's no complaint, other than the inflation that always hits shortly after a game starts.
I fully understand this is a ftp game and they need to make money with their store, it just seems a bit greedy to me not to offer a better package then they do. At the end of the day it is totally up to them how they manage this and what format to use, i can only hope they understand what i am saying here.
Well you can Trade Astral Diamonds for Zen in the market. That depends on what conversion rate the player offering the zen puts on it though.

They already do it with Champions and Star Trek. Weeeee for facts.
PWI has systems in a couple of other games where you can buy Zen with in-game coin. They make the cash off of the players who buy zen or items and sell them in game.
As previously stated in the thread (but, it bears repeating, it appears to me) five ($5 USD) dollars in Zen will buy you TWO character slots. Not a bad price, imo, not a bad price, at all.

Secondly, pretty soon there will only be one server anyway.
Thirdly, one "server" doesn't mean one physical server. Remember the game is instanced. There could be 100 servers, but only one in game server. 20 servers could be dealing with dungeons, 20 for skirmishes, and 5 for 20 different instanced zones. Remember, you might not end up in the same "Blacklake" that everyone else is in, if there are too many people for one version you end up with blacklake_1 and blacklake_2. If you team with someone, you'll join them. If not, you'll only see people in the version you are thrown into that particular time.
