Do you have a source for this, please?
Evil is a word used by the ignorant and the weak. The dark side is about survival. It's about unleashing your inner power. It glorifies the strength of the individual.

Can't find where I saw/read this, so I guess let's go ahead and say that I hallucinated it. Sorry for the misinformation!

i agree on additional char slot , from 8 to 16.

however the system should be implemented like this :

- extra character slot only open if you already maximize your current 8 slot.
- extra character slot only open for certain legacy level , tiered according to your llegacy level
- extra character slot only open if all your toon is above lv 20 in the original 8 slot space.

so there wont be a wasteful use of server memory with ppl rolling lv1 alts as banks filling 16 char slot

I kinda like that. But I have a slightly better idea built off of yours. You know how you can purchase certain legacy things with in game credits? Well make it where you can purchase additional slots, say for 3mil credits apiece up to 8 additional slots. That way you can have the ability to take advantage of the legacy system from both sides, AND it would be a huge money sink that would help with the economy.

It would also prevent players from just making 8 new chars for the hell of it. Makes you earn them and take full advantage of the game.

I personally would love to have up to 16 because I would like to have one of each character. Considering I cannot have an imperial agent that has both operative spec and sniper spec that way I could have one of each. I dont know, I would really like the ability to have more then 8 characters. Especially with the Legacy system.

I'll sign this here.

the game suggest you create a lot of alts 8 is just not enough (I already spread my characters across 2 different servers.)
Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

I say again, this is not an idea any company serious about it's business practices would even consider. Hell, why not let us just pay our monthly subscription with in-game credits while you're at it?

An extra character slot is a service provided by the company, not a virtual item with no otherwise measurable benefit.

Bioware, please don't forget about this issue. It's very important to a lot of people.

16 character slots will open up a whoooooooooole neeeeeeeeeeew wooooooooooooooooooooorld(I'm sorry I had to do it) of legacy stuff to play with.

With 16 character slots, finally, we will be able to fully create a interesting legacy tree with a tremendous amount of options along with our own unique spin on our own legacy tree. When all said and done, when you are staring at your legacy tree, you will create your own story for each character you create and how they are related. Why put a limit to that?

Let the players explore both sides of each story and enjoy the romances they provide. Don't shackle us with 8 characters per server because it's not enough, we need more, 16 more to be exact.

This issue won't go away, it's bigger than you think and there are lot of people that want this to happen. If 16 character slots happen, great things will happen. Please don't keep us waiting.

I'd rather just pay another $50 for 24 slots. I'm not overly thrilled about the concept of using in-game cash for something like this. If it came to it, I'd probably just buy credits from someone via paypal if I had to in order to fund the slots.

As large as this thread has become, I'd like to address you directly, Noxsabe , as the OP.

Would I personally like more slots? Yes. My current setup is having one of each base class, the two mirrored classes being of opposite AC's, as such:

Sentinel <-> Juggernaut
Sage <-> Assassin
Commando <-> Powertech
Scoundrel <-> Sniper

But if I was given more slots I'd definitely use them. I wouldn't mind trying the Trooper storyline with a Vanguard or the Consular storyline with a Shadow, even if not for a long time. I also have trepidations about the Family Tree feature in the expanded Legacy system-- unless it is entirely cosmetic and optional, I worry it might hurt folks like me who have already used up all their available slots-- and for me, since all my toons are a different race to boot, I can't see any two of them being brother and sister, for example!

I do chafe a little at your insistence that replies only conform to what you'd like to hear. Conversation threads like that tend to end up boring. If you're not prepared to defend your viewpoint against critics who couldn't disagree more with you, then they're not going to want to listen to a word you have to say.

Note that I said that I personally would use the extra slots if given them, and I'd certainly cast my vote to get them if a vote were taken. But do I think we NEED them so desperately that I'd ragequit the game in ten seconds flat, if Bioware announced tomorrow that eight slots per server was the absolute limit, no ifs, ands or buts? Hell NO. If Bioware DID say that, I wouldn't be HAPPY but I could definitely LIVE with it. More than eight is definitely what I'd like, but it's by no means what I NEED-- and for you to say why you NEED them so badly, I'd want to hear your reasons, AND for you to be ready for me to try to offer counterpoints.

All that being said-- I may not need them, and I wouldn't miss them if we didn't get them, but if we're voting on whether or not they'd implemented, I'd sure say by all means, give us some more. I'd put them to good use, sooner or later, haha

in game credits, paypal, legacy requirements I don't really care which i just want my 16 slots :/ my main problem is the fact that i already have a lvl 50 scoundral and a lvl 50 gunslinger so i mean i wouldn't be able to get all of the legacy benefits if i were to do the 4 republic and 4 empirials now unless i reroll one of them.... and i don't really feel like rerolling a lvl 50. sorta a reason that i cancelled my account (in addition with school has me too busy) i was sad to think that i would have to reroll one of them to get all the legacy benefits
