For account wide items, how is this calculated? And does this mean that maxium character slots will be 16?

That is at least what it says clearly. Sometimes reality is different though, so the question to FC is still valid.
Max char slots for froob account is 16, 20 for paid I believe.Quote:

Just a FYI update on this. After trying on a new char to claim the portable GMS, bank and stack of Instant grids from the store, I was told I had reached the limit of items claimed and could not claim any more. Of course, I questioned this, since in my view, account-wide means just that, any and all future chars and unlimited just as FC has in their other games, TSW and AoC. After a few replies from customer service, they finally admitted that I was not informed of a limit to claimed items. Their excuse though is telling, additionally they state, no where does it say unlimited as well, just account wide which as we know now is conveniently vague. The end result of my customer service experience is I'm SOL for spending hard earned money thinking I would not have to buy these packs again. So, my advice is: *BEWARE* buying any account wide items thinking they're unlimited, they're not.
You should realize, Account Wide != Unlimited amount of items
Account Wide just means any character on that account can obtain it. For example: The lottery ticket ISN'T account wide. Not all characters can claim a lottery ticket when it is bought once.
Also, it clearly states when you go to claim the items:
It informs you RIGHT THERE how many you can get.Quote:
Portable GMS (Owned)
This item is already owned by your account. You can claim it on each of your characters
Inside this sealed canister is a portable GMS terminal, which will allow you to access the Global Market Search from anywhere you like.
You may only purchase 16 of this item per account.
Something like the Parasite helmet, you can claim more than 16 times on that account because of the wording:
or the item like this:Quote:
Dust Brigade Parasite Helmet
The schematics for this helmet were recovered from the laboratory of the notorious Samuel Darwelsi, rumored to be an important figure amongst the Dust Brigade ranks. This iteration of the helmet seems to offer little in the way of improved combat efficiency, but instead, grants the wearer increased senses and the ability to learn more quickly.
Modifiers:
[snip]
You may only purchase 1 of this item per character.
It can only be purchased 4 times on that account, "herp derp I dun think so, y I can not buy more than 4? this is BS!" *goes to sue FC because of derp*Quote:
Combat Nano Can: Premium Experience Boost (50%)
This spirit-tech symbiant has been modified to imbue the user with it's own experiences. The effect will give the user a 50% boost to their rate of learning from experience.
You may only purchase 4 of this item per account.
Now if FC would change the portable GMI & Bank to "1 per character" then it would be fine. But seriously, get your stupidity checked please. Just because you can't read and/or don't want to read, doesn't mean you have to bug them about something when it clearly states what you can get.
If you walk into the store and their policy says "You can only use 2 coupons on 1 item" then proceed to attempt to use 10 coupons on an item and go berserk when they say they only accept 2, you need to check your privilege.
Those warnings were not there when most of us bought these things. They were added when some of the things were unlimited and yesdrop and people farmed characters to get a ton of insta grids and sell them. They shouldn't apply to stuff like portable banks and GMI. That crap was expensive and it is annoying to us that try out new toons. Its like we can't actually claim them unless were absolutely sure were gonna keep that character for the entirety of our AO time.
But seriously, get your stupidity checked please. Just because you can't read and/or don't want to read, doesn't mean you have to bug them about something when it clearly states what you can get.
Lol, so I'm stupid for wanting to save myself some money?. When you buy the homestead pack, it doesn't say there's a limit and you can only claim 16 of the items, it just says *account wide. It doesn't let you know that there's a limit UNTIL AFTER you've bought the pack and try to claim the first one. I just commented that any potential buyers should be informed of this before spending real money. There, I explained it in plain english for you. You're welcome.
This, I'm entirely okay for them changing those items to nodrops. But I don't remember that at time I bought the Homestead pack there was any sort of limitation. And in actuality after changing it they didn't even check if the items were already purchased... I got duplicates now on certain characters.Quote:
