Bioware Wen are we gonna get more char slots?

16 sounds a bit much to me, id say that 10 or 12 are sufficent for now.

10 would proabably be good for now, seeing as legacy is release.
As I read some of the reponses in here unlockable character slots or rewardable slots via legacy levels sounds like a really good idea so that BW isn't just giving space to people who wont use it.

agreed :/

Not sure if I did it right, but I can endure everything they have done to the game so far and the only thing I that really bugs me is this.

In my own case I have five L50s, another at L45 that I will probably have to 50 within the next few days, and then I will split my time between my other two -- a L29 and an L19. Then what?

If I want to make any more characters I'll either have to delete existing ones (and I really don't want to do that considering how much effort I'll have invested in playing them) or start playing on a different server where I will immediately lose contact with my kinnies (and be less available to go play content with them or help them) and will lose my "perks" from the legacy system.

I can see that BW wouldn't want to expand the number of character slots if it results in a flood of chars that are rarely/never played (some of which might just be "storage mules" leveled to ~15 to get the cargo space) but they will need to address situations similar to mine in the not-too-distant future when many players will be nearing level cap with all 8 of their slots.

Perhaps the easiest way to add slots "fairly" would be to tie slots to legacy...something like 8 slots to start off with; then have a new slot open at Legacy L20 and one more slot every 5 levels thereafter (perhaps up to a max of 16 slots at Legacy L55). That would ensure that people are actually playing all of those alts and really need the slots.

The problem there is some of us like the people we play with and play both sides of the coin on one server. My imperial guild has a sister republic guild on same server. I would LOVE to be able to play one of each advance class but as it is I play one of each class and reverse the the opposite advance class of the compatible classes from each side. IE: Sith Warrior Juggernaut vs Jedi Knight Sentinel. There are many of us who like playing alts and don't mind too much playing the side quests over again. Would be nice if story quest differ by advance class though. Like the Sith Assassin class story different from what the sith sorceress does even if it is only slightly.

no you don't have to reroll them. The legacy goes cross fraction. you level your legacy on both sides it is one legacy not two. In fact in adding your republic and imperial toons to the legacy you can mail your toon cross fraction. Your level 10 Juggernaut could have you smugglars buff skill.

I like the idea of opening up slots with legacy, however I would be willing to pay for them. And, no, it's not for mules. Since I can mail cross faction and don't have to mess with the GTN on Nar Shadaa (slowest load screen EVER,) I'm pretty content with my space management.

At launch, there was no discernible benefit from trying different classes, just an emote, so I just made a boatload of humans and one Chiss. Now it's a carrot to level different races to 50 so you can use them in different classes....and I have one Chiss. Will there perhaps be racial benefits in the future? If so, I'm $h1t outta luck, coz thinking in terms of Legacy being pretty much a name, I thought it made more sense if my toons were mostly the same race.

Seven of my characters are at least 20, all have crafting/gathering/missions skills to 400, have bound gear, and I've spent entirely too many hours leveling them to delete them at this point. So...yeah, I want more toon slots not only to try out the other half of the classes, but to level some different races.

Perhaps 8 slots was enough to begin with, but now with the Legacy system in place, and much more to come, 8 is definitely *not* enough!

More opening up with legacy makes sense and getting to 16 would make sense.

That allows people to literally have every AC on both sides which the legacy system encourages with the new class traits and can expand on later.

Not to mention more characters means even bigger family tree dynamics and replayability on a single server than having multiple servers worth of characters just to try new things.

8 slots would probably be fine for now if I played one character all the way to level 50 and then created my first alt and played it all the way to level 50, and so forth. But that's not how I play.

I've now got all 8 slots filled (deleted 4 good Republic characters to make 4 Imperial characters) and now all of my characters are between level 13 and 35. So for me and the way I play, the Legacy system is really just a big inconvenience at this point. Heck, to me, even sprint only came one level early for two characters.

With my personal limitations and life outside this game, 8 characters is probably all I can realistically juggle for now, but I'd really like to have the room to at least create one of each advanced class.

I really liked having some really low level characters that I could plan on developing at a later date, and I also kind of enjoyed saving up good drops for them.

Bioware, please give me more character slots. Even if I have to pay actual real-world cash money, I'll do it.
