What are they going to do with all the Characters and retainers when SE starts charging? Pay extra 3 $ for each extra Char and 1 $ for every retainer?? If SE doesn't give you the option to get the remaining 8 Retainers before they start Billing and you want to keep your items on your other characters that's going to be an exspensive first moth's bill.
Ya i know people have been doing this and thats great. As for me i'm going to stick with one Character and the two retainers till i can get a couple more.
