Additional Character Slots

I don't know about anyone else but when the character slot limit was boosted from 36 to 48 I was ecstatic! I'd be dropping Paragon Points left and right if the limit was increased again. Any others with me on that? And even more importantly, does anyone know if there are any technical problems involved or would it be easily implemented?

Yep, I feel ya.

I've yet to hit the cap, but I'm always for more character slots.

Only a redname could really say for sure, and I don't believe any have commented on how easy/hard it is to adjust the max slots. I'd bet, though, that a lot of the challenges have been overcome with the first change to 36, and then the later change to 48.

I'd love it if they'd get rid of the cap and let us buy as many slots that we wanted on a server.

This would be absolutely amazing. I would just mail in my bank account information and let them have at it if that were to happen. I don't imagine characters information takes up that much space on the server.

Maybe not, but than after you and the 200 other players who relinquish their bank account info get a bazillion slots total that small amount of space it takes up will amount to a lot.

I have only one character that I've liked enough in the past 7 years to keep after he hit 50. I have no need for your extra character slots

I think they should allow you to sell me your extra slots for inf/inf in game then. I mean there is no need for you to have all those unused slots when people like me would love to have them.

What about keeping the 48 cap, but modifying it a bit. Cap it as an allocation cap meaning that you are allocated 48 per server unless you give up slots from an unused server. Thus you would have the potential cap of Number_Of_Servers_X_48, but could adjust them as you wished. I read another thread earlier today about "restrictions due to server resources" and wonder why they couldn't just make an "issue" focused on upgrading the existing server resources. Yes I understand the tech/$$$ components, just sayin.

I could not imagine having 48 toons total; especially on my main server. I guess the altitis bug is different for me:

I make a mids build
I play the toon some
I usually delete it hahaha

I have one main character I play and 2 other 50s that I play every now and then. I do plan on making and keeping a staff scrapper soon - it is the one set I wanted since I started this game 7 years ago.

I have seen this kind of statement so much over the past few months. Tons of people want staff. This is good.

I'm not sure what game you've been playing but here in City of Heroes the majority of players have altitis, and thousands of us have multiple accounts because there aren't enough character slots for us on individual servers.

True so very very true.

...and they'd be paying for that space, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Not necessarily. They could be characters on free accounts. I wouldn't mind if they even made the extra slots VIP only again. That way we would be paying for them.

When you give the devs direct access to your bank account, it doesn't seem very accurate to still call that a free player

I came back to this and realized I have no idea what I thought you were saying but I know it's something different than what you were. I muzt have misread it. I agree, carry on!

I would support this only if there is a decent amount of free space on the login server and the backup system and they are nicely streamlined and optimised.

Agreed 110%. I wouldn't ask the devs for more slots unless that stuff was garunteed first.

I think I have roughly 41 toons on my main account and 14 on a second account. I am all for more more more!

yeah, forgot to mention that I have all 12 slots full on my 2nd account as well. 10 Of them are part of a not all that functional themed SG I made for the hell of it. The other two are used for SG/VG tweaks in cases like me forgetting to login before losing Super Star.

48 characters on Virtue with three other servers with 12 and a second account with half a dozen on Virtue. Serious altaholism here!
