Forced transfer to high pop. 16 slotted servers ?

As someone who does play STO, I can answer this. There are 3 classes per faction and they are Science, Engineering and Tactical. Its the same on both sides. Since the game came out, they always had a cash shop and we were able to buy more character slots. I broke down early on in the game buying character slots as 4 at the time was the max for STO. When buying character slots, they offer them in packs of 2 or 4. Buying the 4 character slots was the best deal.

Damn, I should have made better looking characters on the origin servers.

I have a bunch of randomized placeholder characters.

F2P will probably have one slot. The free class story will tempt people to buy a slot for another class. The average player doesn't have more than two max level characters.

I think you still have time to delete and remake your origin server placeholder named characters.

First world problems.

My understanding is that if you have transferred more then 12 characters you will have them all available, but you will have to delete one if you want to create one. I had transferred 18 and I could access all. But if you have less then 12 - the limit will be 12

Hmm. I thought new character creation on origin servers was locked? Otherwise, can't people who have a stray character on an origin server just create 7 more to circumvent the character slot cap?

Here are BW answers fro PTS forum:

None of your characters will be deleted. You will be able to use all of them when we merge characters from origin servers onto current destination servers (with new high population tech). However, in order to create a new character, you will have to free up one of your character slots.

Everyone that transferred to a destination server will remain on the same servers, just with new High Population Tech. We are going to be consolidating the remaining origin server characters onto the current destination servers (with the new High Population Tech). Make sense?

So if you want one for Cathar.. I guess you still have time to make one new character placeholder

It is nice ‘if’ they are really going to let us have more character slots but I am worried about how they are going to handle the characters being transfer from origin servers to destination servers.

I know some people who didn’t transfer over to the destination server because they already had eight characters on it form the start. To me it seems unfair to force people to delete characters (or if allow buy slots) just to be able to create new character especial with the Carther species on the horizon. After all they are being forced to transfer to this one server (at least this how it sounds to me).

In my case, it’s is likely those character left on Vrook Lamar will be forced to go Begenren Colony which is already full, that means I will end up with total of sixteen characters. If I wanted to make a new character I would have to delete five of those characters (that if they move the character limit up to 12), thankfully I haven’t invested all that much time into these characters, but I’m sure others have. As I want make my Carther on Begenren Colony. Of course, this if I’m understanding this right.

To fix this, either have the new slot plus the preexisted characters, I know this isn’t fair to everyone but at least it doesn’t punish those who have no choice or otherwise allow the player to choose which destination server they wish to send their characters. They can even make limited time offer.

You know we only have 8 Advanced class right? Imp and reb are copped and the only change is the name of the moves and some animations..
