HelinCarnate Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would pay $5 for 2 slots on 1 server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themacr Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Can't you create 8 already on each server? As in.. every class possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelinCarnate Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Can't you create 8 already on each server? As in.. every class possible? Yea but some of us are crazy and want to make the 8 classes for the other faction as well. Normally we would just roll on another server, but with the unknowns about the legacy stuff, we would rather just keep to 1 server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccgyver Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would hazard the suggestion that there would be a better usage of $200. For example, another account for another 8 char slots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZzsirbosszZ Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I just run 3 accounts thats 24 slots and you can multi-box too!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I just run 3 accounts thats 24 slots and you can multi-box too!!!! That's unbelievably expensive for people that can't afford it, especially the multi-box idea. My PC is running everything on low as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'd also like to see this as part of the legacy system. Maybe give us an extra slot every 25 legacy levels or something similar to allow us up to ten. I think that would be a very nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebergy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would not pay $200 for it, but I would love more character slots. Tying it in with legacy sounds like a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayfax Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 That's unbelievably expensive for people that can't afford it, especially the multi-box idea. My PC is running everything on low as it is. We're in a thread about a guy willing to throw down 200 bucks to create fake space for people and objects that don't exist in the real world. And you're saying a proposed solution is too expensive? Okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drFodder Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yes, more slots please. I will even pay for it--Bioware, you are leaving money on the table. (Seriously, I stayed with vastly inferior Cryptic games solely because I could feed my altaholism.) Yes, this play style is not for everyone. But I think the demand is significant. Yes, it can impact storage and database resources. That's why folks will be more open to paying for it. It should definitely be an option. And additional slots are IDEAL for Bioware games--SWTOR is very replayable with different choices for each class and various side missions. Additional slots are even more appropriate here with new races and a legacy system. It seems like alts are actually part of the game system--capitalize (maybe literally) on it!

livnthedream Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 the issue generally is with actual server space and architecture. 2 slots doesnt seem like much but in terms of actual server load its quite a bit. when they are able im sure we will get it, but besides the fact im sure its not a huge priority (and really shouldnt be) you still have a ton to play through till then.

drFodder Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Assuming it's a load issue, they could add it in very gradually--one slot at time and see how things go. BTW, here's another slots thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=320927 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapono Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think we should have a set limit on the total number of characters per account, not per server. So if we wanted to have 50 characters (zowie!) on one server, we could. That would rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drFodder Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 If the concern is server/database resources, I agree that an overall limit would be the way to go. There's just so much (forgive the buzzword) synergy you can get out of alts in this game (mission/recipes/drops) that demand for additional slots on the same server seems a natural result.

HeavensAgent Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 How about no. To charge for character slots in a story-focused game that already lacks the slots needed to play a character of each class would truly be the end. The masses would rage-quit, and for once they would right to do so; it is improper, and teeters on the verge of illegality, to push an incomplete product only to charge an additional fee for features that should have been present in the first place.

Dolcia Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I stumbled across this ... nice. From the Community Q&A yesterday: Aymi: You guys are including a whole bunch of things to motivate us to reroll and unlock stuff through Legacy, but if I’m playing on one server because the community is great, I’ll be limited to eight characters. You said during the Guild Summit you were going to think about it at some point, any update on that? Daniel Erickson: We are 100% committed to providing more character slots per server in the future but unfortunately we’re not ready to talk about how that will work. Source: Community Q&A: Friday March 30th 2012: Game Update 1.2 Special So, yeah, I'm going to guess that we won't be seeing it with the implement of 1.2. But, hey, it is coming. Hopefully sooner than later. I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavensAgent Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Companies like EA have been doing this for several years now. Sad really.......Sad but true. Still, something as blatant as this would not go unnoticed. Much of the community that the developers need to support the game is already viewing SWTOR as the last chance for a title in this particular industry to win them over. Folks won't put up with the same <insert word meaning: cheap or shoddy material> any longer. Edited March 31, 2012 by HeavensAgent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
