As it stands now, you have to - absolutely have to make do, with one slot - OR
fork out:
1000 Au (@ £7.99 - with a generous helping of 50 extra Aurum for your trouble) and
2000 Au (@£15.99 with lovely 120 extra Au) to buy the others just to experience the whole story from all 3 sides (Which is expensive for some, and i’m under no illusion when it comes to how much things cost and what this means to people as a choice vs value for money)
Unless there is a sale on Aurum, this is the price.
Unless you farm your MoF’s to convert into Aurum to avoid having to fork out personal cash, It is still the price to you (or them rather).
Why should you have to delete a char, in fact, your only char as it stands now, just to experience any of the other sides - or even make another free account (Which i believe IS allowed) where you then have to do without, in some cases, your patron benefits. I don’t even think that having patron gives you any extra slots.
First mentioned May last year, as i had no idea why they were not a “standard” from the get go.
I haven’t changed my opinion on this matter in the whole time.
