Overview

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.
