By paying the dev team a months salary? I'd wager that might do it.

Please moar.

I want to level both advanced classes on both factions.

I have one slot left and I can't decide if I want to do a Gunslinger or Shadow. (

Will pay in hugs.

Though the awful English in the title of the thread does somewhat unnerve me, I am in full support of more character slots as soon as humanly possible.

I am pretending the thread title here is "When are we going to get more character slots?"

That said, I agree. More are needed. And to prevent people just making a bunch of mules, I have an idea.

The following are per account, per server:
As default, allow 8 character slots.
As a character reaches Level 50, allow one additional character to be created.
Maximum of 16 characters.

Example:
8 level 1-49
12: 4 level 50's, 8 level 1-49.
16: 8 level 50's, 8 level 1-49.

This creates enough flexibility to make a varied number of characters and keep them lower level, but prevents having 15 level 1 toons as banks.

I want more character slots, I have 3 level 50 characters, 1 marauder, 1 juggernaut and 1 mercenary healer. wanted to do each advanced character class and light / dark side on either, was going to do some female characters for the voice acting.
only 8 character slots
no
fail
lame
please alter for all your loyal fans
16 character slots FTW

Either add in as a pay for x number of character slots
or
legacy system, upgrade per character slot costing in game credits
or
as has been suggested. for each level 50 character gain 1 additional slot

you may use some combination - just make it be 16 slots

much love

16 slots would make me a very happy woman! If that isn't ever going to happen, I'd at least like cross-server legacy!

According to this Dev statement by StephenReid, "First, you need to be aware of the restrictions on character slots. There will always only be eight character slots available on any single target server for you to transfer characters to, and transferred characters will not 'overwrite' characters with the same name. That's important because if you're transferring characters to 'replace' a placeholder character, you may find that you don't have enough free slots to transfer to.

For example: you have six characters that you wish to transfer to the Dalborra server, on which you have previously created six placeholder characters with the same names as your incoming transferred characters. As those six characters do not 'overwrite' the existing placeholder characters, you will be unable to move all six characters and will actually only be able to move two."

So, they don't appear to be planning to ever implement more than eight slots per server. And since Legacy benefits, such as they are, are limited to a single server, this is more than a little frustrating. If I can't make alts, I won't, which means the lifespan of this game just got considerably shorter.

Definitely need more character slots. The whole appeal to this game is the storyline. The hook is the legacy system. Now, in order to fully experience the storylines for the many class options you need to be on multiple servers because of character limits. Which negates the whole legacy system. It's confusing and illogical. Just give us more character slots already.
