Add more characters slots in an upcoming expansion. =/
Sadly, this is exactly the kind of thing SOE has done since they took over EQ1. More bank slots? Yep you can buy into that. Need the raid window? Sure you can buy that also. Want to buy a planar fletching kit so you can stay competitive with your tradeskilling? Sorry it's no drop (it was until they unlocked PoK to all) and only sold in an expansion zone. I'm surprised we didn't have soulbinders available only if you bought another expansion.
Verant never, from release to Velious, tied basic
game functionality to buying content expansions.
While I am looking forward to initially playing EQ2, I expect more of the same from Sony. A few years down the road you will only have half the game function if you aren't interested in the expansions.
