Please excuse if this has been posted already. I searched and couldn't find anything.
My suggestion is regarding the amount of slots available per server for characters. 8 Is a nice amount for your standard MMO, but in SWtOR, we have LEGACY features, which allow all the characters to be linked in some way because they share the same legacy name. I think eight (8) places too great a limit on the creativity that legacy can bring. Also, considering there are four(4) classes per faction and two (2) advanced classes per main class, there is not enough room for the people who want to enjoy playing all the different advanced classes and stay within the same legacy without being forced to delete a level fifty (50) character.
I've been playing this game since Beta, and one of the things I love is legacy perks, including setting up the family tree; eight (8) characters doesn't make much of a family tree anyway. This may just be my opinion, but because this game is set apart from other MMOs in that it offers a story for each character, I think sixteen (16) character slots would be more ideal per server. It would allow anyone to keep all their characters within a legacy, and still play every form of character the game offers. Essentially playing the game to the fullest (for some, me included), experiencing how every advanced class plays.
Please expand the amount of allowed characters per server. Thank you.
