Need more slots

I've run up against the 36 slots per server limit on my main server, and was thinking about what could be done by NCsoft to help me give them more money and allow me to create more toons on the server on which I want to create them.

I play now almost exclusively on Victory as I play outside of US peak times and have found a SG/VG of European based players who play when I do.

My current options:

Delete some toons - I play all of them
Move some to another server - might as well delete them, wouldn't play them there
Make a second account - can't really afford it and would start with no vet rewards

I would like to float some suggestions as to how to get round this:

1: Up the maximum number of slots per server to 48 or 60.

2: Create the option to make an "add-on" account. How I would see this working is that this was an account that attached to an existing account and had no possibility of independent existence. It granted one slot per server and extras could be purchased, but at a very small monthly fee. Veteran rewards would be transferred over from the main account.

I wouldn't mind more slots per server but you won't get a second account you can transfer vet rewards to.

Just get a second account instead, and when you run out of slots on that one max it out too. Both of my main accounts have max slots on guardian, and both are full of toons I either play or as placeholders for names I'm reserving for later development (like i16 and GR builds).

As I said, while I don't mind shelling out another $40 for slots, I can't afford the $ per month for a second account, also it would be painful going through the low levels without all the vet rewards I'm used to. I did it before vet rewards existed and it wasn't fun.

As to never being allowed a second account that kept the vet rewards, I always assumed the objection was people selling them, that was why I specified that it could never be separated from the original account and could have no independent existence.

Ha.. this is so funny.. I just went through 35 pages on the Champion Online forum talking about the fact that they give only 8 slots at start on the only server they have with options to earn a few more during play or buy some.


- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

Why should they do this when you can just get a second account and make them twice as much money each month?

Welcome to Defiant Server, one of the friendliest of the EU servers allowing you to play with your European friends.

Ah... wait... until we get equal access you're gonna have a problem. But think yourself lucky. In the EU we get a choice of a max of 4 servers but realistically only 2 unless you're bilingual.

If Paragon Studios do decide to open access to all servers (which seems likely given they have merged the forums) then you'd be welcome to join us on Defiant or at a push Union

Because I won't get a second account at the same price as the first for inferior benefits (I'm closing in on 63 months of vet rewards), so they won't get any more of my money without allowing me to create more toons on the one I have, or they may lose me altogether once I end up with 30+ lvl 50s on Victory and nothing to play (I have 17 50s and only 2 below level 30, one of which plays with XP off).

I looked at moving to the EU but I already had 72 toons when the EU servers started, I have 150 now across the US servers. Rest assured I would be on defiant and union like a shot if I had access. I have played on French speaking teams on the US servers, but find it hard work.

Actually not likely at all. Since the non-english servers MUST support a different build, they can't merge those. I wouldn't mind seeing the english-speaking ones which carry the same code (presuming they do, which I don't think they do...) brought out to add to our side, and make your experience better for having the rest of the list at your disposal.

As for the OP: 2nd account.

I'm hoping that with Going Rogue, we get more slots, but I don't really know if I should count on it or not. i'm sure it's something they know we want, but in all reality, they DO still want to make money and they DO still like having "more" accounts in use. Stockholders like that, your ability to trade to yourself likes that...

Mine, only get resubbed when it's free, i hit all my rusty toons and make sure I've logged in on them (like for anniversary badges) but otherwise they're languishing when I can afford it, I keep 2 open. Can't right now.

Have you considered moving one or two of your lesser played characters "into storage" on another server? Doesn't mean you'll necessarily play them more than you already are, if you've got 36 on one server I cannot honestly think that you play *every one of them a lot*.
