I understand why you're giving everyone 20 slots, but your decision effectively punishes those who've invested in your game to reward those who've invested less.
BearVenger wrote: I'm sure it's discussed in another thread already, but D3 knows exactly who spent how many HP on which alliance slots. There's no reason they can't pick an arbitrary date and refund any alliance slot purchase from that date on. There's no approximation needed on this one.

I gave up numerous new character slots in order to build this alliance and now it was all wasted. I would like my Hero points back now please.

I want to say it was 50, and then once people started buying up to 20 slots it was quickly brought down to just 10. This isn't the first time people got the old bait and switch after buying Alliance slots, is it? Did Demiurge acknowledge that change or compensate players? I'm sorry if I'm just fanning the flames here, but I'm curious.

Zero, when I started my Alliance, we were awarded ZERO Iso for your alliance mates playing each day. I think it came fairly quickly after, definitely by April 11th. I remember since it was the only way I could track if my Alliance mates had played that day, and I was out of town that weekend and thought I wouldn't be able to play (still found some time to squeeze in a couple matches.)

When you take something from your players that they paid for (in this case, an exclusive advantage)... GIVE SOMETHING BACK.

This is more a feasible solution as it doesn't require modifying the game for those bonus slots. and it should be done automatically than commanders having to submit a ticket. With a note stating think you for purchasing alliance slots in the past as an appreciation here are # roster slots for the alliance slots you have purchased. we hope you invest in the many features of this game in the future....
