Wait....they are raising the character limit to 12?


Why the hell is it 12? For what reason do we need 12 characters? This is no better than having 8. 16 makes so much more sense.

there aren't really 16 advanced classes... classes are mirrored so there are actually 4 classes (tho there are 8 class stories) and 8 advanced classes in total

8 makes perfect sense as it allows you to make one toon of each class on each side and one of each mirrored advanced class and is more than a lot of games give.... but if they want to give me 12 instead I'll sure as hell take it

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

I didn't ready every post in this thread, but some of you really need to use the dev tracker. As a lot of the stuff in this thread has been answer by a dev.

After they merge all origin servers into the destination server you will have all characters on that server. However if after the merger you have more than 12 characters you will need to delete some to get under 12 to make a new character.

So, you are complaining that you DO get 4 more slots? Not to sound like a bimbo, but... SRSLY!?

This is the problem. What should have been a character slot gain ended up being a character slot loss. This system is terrible and it reeks of them trying to get us to buy more character slots just to be able to use all of the characters we already have across different servers rather than being able to pile up (new) character slots on one server.

If this is the case it will the final nail in the coffin for me concerning SWTOR. Had enough of Bioware's disconnection with its player base.

After the merger you can still use all of your characters if you have more than 12. If you have 8 characters on both servers before the merger, after the merger you will be able to play all 16 characters. You are not losing any ability to play all your characters.

Why they do not combine all the servers by removing other?
1 pvp west / 1 pve west / 1rp west
1 pvp east / 1 pve east / 1rp east
1 pvp eu / 1 pve eu / 1rp eu

It would solve the "where our cross-server warzones/flashpoints?" problem

I hope so, but that's not what I am seeing on my destination server now

And yes, I am pretty sure they will allow you to keep all your characters, just make sure you got all 16 of them ready when the servers are merged. Else, you will have to pay alot of $$$ in the shop, because you can bet that they will milk us for all they can with that shop.

That's what they will do, no? All to the new high-population servers?
