To be honest I've never heard of any cons for upping the limit, I've just heard the devs say they weren't going to do it. Personally I'm all for adding more slots.
I wish they would add more slots per server to purchase. I would gladly fork over more cash to up my limit far beyond 36.

I'd pay relatively silly amounts for another 36 slots per server.
I would too. The moment I was able to get 36 character slots, I did so without hesitation.

Though I'm close, on some servers, to feeling slot crunch again.

I don't think the people that are wanting more character slots are interested in the extra reoccurring monthly fee(s). |

I wouldn't mind more server slots...

Since launch, we've had nothing but additions to the great powersets and costume options (unlockables,vet rewards, booster packs! )Going Rogue gave us a few more powersets and costume options, and a bunch of new concept tools to play with. But we have not been given more room for expansion on our beloved servers. I know many poeple play on multiple, but many of us do not. So many unique character concepts to make, it gets frustrating having to not be able to make the one I want now that I'm almost "capped" so to speak. I am currently running two accounts. My first account has all 36 slots filled, with three vet-rewarded character slots unclaimed. My second account is about to purchase the last 5 slots on my main server. I can, and do, run both accounts for RP reasons, prestige farming etc. I have no desire, nor cash to pay for a third account. I don't know if the dev's have ever given any kind of definitive answer to this topic, but I'm really wishing for a way to get more slots per server. Anyone have thoughts, threads to link to, or constructive criticism? I'm not looking for infinite slots per server, that'd be lame for many reasons. But even another ten would float my goat. |

Even if the new slots added to a server COULD NOT be purchased with Vet Rewards I would be super happy and buy every slot offered. I wonder, sometimes, if all the Free Character Slots people have saved up in their Vet Rewards is the reason we havn't gotten the slot cap per server raised. Right now I have 5 slots saved up, if the Devs allowed 5 more slots per server they wouldn't make a penny off of me.

Be thankful your not on the Eu server list then, at least if your on the NA you have 11 servers.
We got 4, and two of them (if you do not speak French or German) are useless to you.
Myself, Union list is beginning to get filled up, so I decided it was time to branch out a little and getting to know people on another server.
But even then Defiant do have several chars I've just not had the heart to delete (transfered during free transfer).
But yes, do transfer those less used to another server that you some time in the future... might be playing.
Have fun

I would be thrilled with any more slots they'd be willing to give us... I see no reason why a fourth page (48 per server) would be unreasonable.
On the other hand, I probably wouldn't use it much myself, as I ended up expanding onto all the NA servers, and added slots to four of them so far. (Total unlocked slots as of right now: Infinity [36, 34 used], Pinnacle [24, 23 used], Freedom [19, 18 used], Virtue [14, 13 used], Liberty [12, 11 used], Guardian [12, 5 used], Champion [12, 3 used], Victory [12, 3 used], Triumph [12, 1 used], Protector [12, 1 used], Justice [12, 1 used])
I also think that I'm nearing the limits of my own personal strain of altitis, although I might make a few more characters if/when they make some new powersets or do some more proliferation.

Besides the extra money, a second account won't get access to any vet awards or costume packs you might have. That alone has been enough to discourage me from seriously considering a second account.
I'd love extra slots; I'd even like the ability to just transfer slots from one server to another without adding any more to the total. I'd move all of my Freedom slots and the characters in them off that server; I only use it because of the free slots.
