Happen to have a link I'd like to read it.

That's 4 empire and 4 republic on one server not 8 republic OR 8 empire on one server. That's what I was talking about.

Some games limit you to one character per account. Just saying an 8 character limit on a server is WAY better.

Maybe 2 or 3 more, but 16 in total would be excessive.
You can always start out on a new server.
Will unlocked races work wherever you make a character or only the server(s) you have a legacy on or..?

Legacy is server related and not account wide, it only affects one server, so for example, if you have 4 chars, each on a different server, you will have 4 different Legacies all independent from one another.

So i believe that only for that specific server you can create that char, since Legacy is not account wide but server only.

An official response to this would be nice.

That's how it will work as far as I know, as well. I'm excited about unlocked races, but I won't have many (or maybe any by then) free slots on my server to make use of them :|

I only mentioned the significant ones, lower than 15 I have another 4 Rep and Emp toons, those I made to play with a friend, my kids, or failed experiments

We know why they did 8, because wow did 8
But WoW doesn't have legacy. They have DK, but that is only 1 extra slot you need, legacy really makes you want to have all your toons on one server.
If we could link two servers together . . . . as opposed to it being system wide, that would be cool

Really they should just make some Legacy abilities Account wide, like Race unlock, hell even perks, I have 1 server with 5 Imps 50, 45, 33, 32, 11 and Repub with 4 40, 32, 12, 8. This could help kill two birds with one stone. Character slots and Server populations, people will be encouraged to roll on more than one server, so High Pop dont get higher while low say low.

I would love to see 16 slots. I've already rolled 8 toons I'd rather not delete. even 10 or 12 slots I'd be happy with.

Wouldn't be bad idea, but would server lag go up?

Nah, it shouldn't. You can still only play one at a time. And it's not like people would make twice as many characters! You can still only play the same amount, so the space required in a db to store your info wouldn't add to the overhead which could cause lag.

You don't have to play all 16 ACs since they are basically copies of each other.

1. Make one of each class

2. Play an AC of each class' opposite faction

Example: one Jedi Guardian and one Sith Maurader, one republic Vanguard and one imperial Mercenary...and so on.
