Umm, Ok. You titled this thread "
$4.99 sub option for playing with one character slot past limit." ...here is the OP:
You are confusing the "extended free trial" with the "free to play option". And in turn confusing those of us replying (myself at least).
Most posts in the thread were commenting on the thread title, which was an option to allow one extra character slot for a price, mainly in support of it. That option already exists (as I also previously posted).
As far as I know there is not a level cap to Dragon characters playing in a trial period, but I suppose it is possible. If that is in fact the case, it would be because Vitrium wants you to sub to continue.
For the time being, to continue playing the Dragon you need the $9.99 sub option. My opinion on this I stated before, I don't support a $4.99 sub option for a Dragon. you mentioned not wanting or needing three character slots... but no one is playing 3 characters at once anyway. Most people play a single toon to begin with. So I can't really see why Vitrium would put in a cheaper sub option. (And is why I don't think it is a good idea).
Your OP could have much more clearly stated what you were asking for:
"Can we get a single character slot, any race, subscription option at a reduced price, such as $4.99?"
and you would need a different title.
