If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

Personally it amazes me when people say they have 60 some characters. Since I'm a pretty hardcore player, but I only have 8 characters and a few toons holding names, granted i have had 80 50s, but other than my current 8 the rest are deleted. I guess if I didn't delete toons I would have a need for more character slots, but with that said it's impossible to play or fund that many characters from the way I look at it so it's like why bother keeping them.

Honestly, if 48 isn't enough... you need to diversify servers a bit.

Why does there have to be an upper limit at all? If someone is willing to spend hundreds of dollars to buy slots on one server, who are we to say no? It doesn't affect our enjoyment of the game., and the game makes more money.
And if some dingus is stupid enough to put all his eggs in one basket, it'll give us something to laugh at when his server goes down and he comes here to ragepost.
On the other hand I suppose that it's possible that some nefarious players will use this as an opportunity to name camp all the "good" names on a server and then sell the names to other players and/or try to use it as proof that the devs should get rid of our unique naming policy.
Well for the sake of organization and simplicity there really has to be be a set limit. Databases tend to be easier to maintain when they are strictly sized.
Having said that it's obvious the current "12 characters per page" layout of the login screen was designed to accommodate being expanded at some point. Seems like the given the current limit of 48 that it would be relatively simple to tack on another 12, 24 or even 48 slots.
I'm not sure I'd ever need that many more myself, but if someone wants to pay for that then more power to them.

I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.
..I think they should just give everyone up to 10 pages and be done with it. If anyone buys that many, more money to them, anyone that doesn't want them doesn't buy them.
I'm quite happy on my server and would like more pages of characters, currently got all 48 and quickly running out of uhms and aahs to delete for new ideas.
I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc
I have 41 on the same server with my first account, and 10 on the same server with a second account. In the beginning I only added the second account to be able to manage my SGs, but since then I have gotten into alt fever.
Yes please, add another page, Yay for 60 per account!

That said, I don't see why people DON'T diversify servers. I'm not shooting down the idea, since I wouldn't argue with more slots, but it's not that hard to get started on another server. Use it for retired characters. Use it for villains or praetorians. Have people you like playing with? Bring them over with you to kickstart a new SG with a new theme. Meet new people.
But that's just me.

What difference does it make?

And I'll admit a handful (less than 16) are name camping my global name. I haven't gotten around to leveling them up yet.
I just don't see the need to delete an established mid level or up characters. I have deleted lots of lowbies tho.

Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.
