Yes, this has come up umpteen times before.
No, I don't see how this serves a useful purpose. It appears that the official solution is: get a second account.
And black characters on the default background is really hard to read.
Well, correction first:
We didn't get another page or two when COV was released. We did, *if you had both games* (or both parts, or whatever) get a bump up from 8 to 12 slots. We didn't get the extra pages 'til after the Good vs Evil edition came out (as I recall... given I used that for a second account prior to having more slots.)
Yes, I'd like to see it.
No, right now it seems as though it's not in the cards from recent dev responses. I don't know if it's a technical (database?) limitation or not.
yeah, old request. I donno about any of you, but I'm fine with the number of slot we have. I mean 352 characters slots... that is a LOT of characters. I recall seeing somewhere that there's only something like 356 possible power combinations (Not 100% sure that's accurate mind you) and the majority of players aren't looking to make every possible power combination.
Now, one thing I would like to see is a change in how the slots are allocated. If I want to have 2 slots on Victory and 190 on Virtue, why not? They're my slots. I've paid for 'em. Why can't I load 'em onto one server?

Uhm. Your math is off. We can have 396 character slots on NA accounts but only 144 on the EU accounts.

I'm on my third account. I would really like to have more slots than the 36 per server. Even if I have to pay for them. I will not be adding a fourth account. When #3 fills up, that's it for me.

thats what Im talking about. the other 302ish slots on a server like victory are useless to me. they may as well not be there if I cant use them...WON'T use them rather. I guess I should have specified per server.

the black characters help weed out those that dont need to reply and those that provide nothing useful to a conversation.
having a second account is fine also, but it's not as useful if you have 60+ months vet on one and 3 months vet on the second.
But like I said. I posted this for a specific reason, so it's probably a lil more useful than the other upteen times.
If it's a easy add on why not, i dont really need more myself, but, there are others out there that play alot and might enjoy the extra pages .

How does that help? (Oh, I suppose bolding would lessen the difficulty some people have with the lesser contrast, but whatever.)|

Anyway....in a game that encourages altitus, I can see a need for additional character slots per server. Especially with older accounts.
While I don't have the problem with maxing out a server completely, I have come close, and had to delete characters to make room. Had they been characters that I was somewhat attached to, a transfer (or purchasing more slots, up to the limit....too bad I'm a cheapskate.
) would have been in order.Also, from below:

Every time I see those numbers, I grind my teeth in frustration, especially as we pay almost the same subscription fee. Yet another good reason for a server list merge. Good for everyone. But anyway, that's a different topic. |

I'd go for more slots. More money for development, more incentive to play, more fuel for my altisis.

Me, as my primary language is Portuguese and I manage a passable English I have 72 possible slots. At a push I could maybe have another 36 on the French server. Even so, I only play on Defiant.
And boy would I like more slots with full vet rewards on my home server...
I'm all for this suggestion. ^^

I'd suggest deleting a few, but you've probably already considered it and decided not too. I don't need to know the reasons, the fact that you've made that decision is your own choice, which you are entitled to.|

I say screw it. Let players buy a hundred slots per server. Reap the rewards as they put money into the coffers that finance future content!

Also, your English is better than just 'passable', in my eyes, having read (and heard) near-gibberish from native speakers.

that's what I think also. just open it up. it's free money.

Running a database is not a trivial task. Or would you be happy with a vastly increased number of "Unable to connect to DBServer" errors as the price of having additional slots?

Uhm, with all due respect language is not a barrier that prevents you from creating characters on a given server. For example, I don't speak French or German, but I would still have characters on those servers. I'd use those servers for characters I like soloing on. I already use one of my accounts as a dedicated solo account. I use it when I don't want to be bothered by anybody at all. I just turn off the chat box and play in peace and quiet.
Oh and just to be clear because I didn't say it before, I'm all in favor of more slots. In fact I want the EU and NA server lists combined so we can all have access to the same number of servers and slots.
Feel free to chant along with me.
Combine the server lists!

QR: What I would like to see is the ability to shift slots from servers I NEVER USE, to ones that I do. For instance I will probably never be on Justice, so those slots are useless to me. I'd like to put them on my home server.
I have plenty of slots - just not on the servers where they need to be.
I'm still pulling for at least one more page to use. Having nothing to do or look forward to on 2x weekend is really a drag 
This thread hasn't seen activity in some time, and it looks like the discussion has reached its end point, so I'm going to close the thread. However, if you think there is still more to discuss about the issue of additional character slots, please feel free to create a new thread about it.
I'm quite sure there's been hundreds of these posts already, but this one is gonna serve a useful purpose. (I promise!)
Need more character slots with the release of GR. Those of us capped at the max 3 pages are already losing out with the vet reward free slots and will have no room for new toons. Give us another page or two at least like you did when COV was released please.
Thoughts, gripes, comments: GO!
