its not instant if im not mistake it scales with level -though honestly i havent had to wait longer than something like 7 or 8 mins max so far - sure im premium but i also figure out if i like i class or not in short order - i can usually tell by level 10 the latest if it doesnt feel like its getting better to play i quit and delete then make a new one on another slot- then again i upgraded to masters while they had it up so i do have 7 char slots right now :/
