Collect the free character slot from the Item Claim by selecting the giftbox and clicking USE. Then right-click on the item to unlock the extra character slot! QHP Note: A maximum of 16 character slots are available per server. Most servers will have a character expansion slot on the broker, if they don't you can either wait or ask someone who has TERA Club to buy you one for in game gold. However I highly recommend buying a Key for this game, it will give you veteran status which comes with 8 character slots and many other nice benefits. New accounts do get 2 character slots per server (so in principle you can have 10 per account, or you could also create additional accounts). And, well, the reason is because they sell additional character slots; it's one of the ways they monetize this F2P game.
Add an additional character slot to your account.
— In-game description
