Now, no matter what version of retail code is used to create or upgrade an account, every account initially has access to twelve character slots per server, where before an account started with eight slots and only had twelve after applying a retail code for both sides of the game (or the [[Good Versus Evil Edition]] retail code).

Overview

ParagonMarket CharacterSlot.png

A Character Slot is a line on the Character Select Screen where one character "exists". Each server has its own "bank" of 1,000 character slots, unlike some games where character slots are shared across several servers. Players can transfer characters to free slots on a server of their choice.

NOTE: Occasionally characters may mysteriously move to the second, third or fourth page of slots on the Character Select screen. The best way to keep this from happening is to tick "Remember Account Name" at the login screen, which creates a text file listing each server's characters and saves it to the installation folder, which prevents those characters from moving.
