BadOrb, since I see you around the forums a lot, I thought I'd throw this out for you and anyone else interested:

Add Character Slot objects are starting to show up on the GTN already (under Cartel Market Items -> Unlocks ), at least on my server. This afternoon, I snatched up three of them listed for a not unreasonable number of credits.

You may want to explore that as an option if you don't want to spend real money to buy the unlocks.

Cheers.

Looking for clarification.
I now have 16/16 slots. If I wanted to delete a character and create a new one, will I have 15/16? Will it go down to 15/15 and make me buy the extra slots? Just curious because the breakdown of characters that I have from the server mergers left me with triples of some professions and only 1 of other types. I'd like to balance it out and have 2 of each advanced class but I'm not going to delete if it gets rolled back

In ADDITION to this, you may now purchase additional character slots to your heart's content. There is a limit, but it is very, very high and you will probably not reach it. So, if you are a subscriber and want to go beyond your 12 slots, by all means!
Hooray, this is exactly what I wanted!

Not a CSR, but my understanding from piecing all the bits of information together is that you'd go down to 15/15 unless you applied four Add Character Slots to your account.

Rationale:
- Default maximum for subs is 12 per server
- People who have > 12 still have access to any extra characters

But that feels more like grandfathering in characters rather than grandfathering in extra slots. You have "extra slots" only so they're not forcing you to delete or deactivate characters.

Hey wow , just read this now as i was on swtor for a few hours that's a great find . Thank you. That changes a few things too in a good way , they are expensive atm on my server but I'm sure once people start filling up their slots up to 22 we will be in business. Now I have the dilemma of keeping my chiss or buying them and making her a cathar , cries. Still great news and yeah i guess the forums are my regular haunt .

Cheers,

BadOrb.

May I humbly request that this information be presented on the character selection screen and placed upon the character-slot unlock items?

Why?

I look at it this way. At least the Slot Unlock unlocks a character slot for all servers, instead of just the one you have more than 12 on. So, you are still getting something.

Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.

The misunderstanding has been cleared up. No worries.

Today I added 2 more slots but a lot of my characters are now being forced to be renamed. WHY?

EDIT: Ok. I logged out for about 15-20 minutes and went back in. The force rename was taken off so for anyone who sees it, do NOT rename your toon unless you want it renamed. Sort of a free rename bug.

Btw, I did this for my last 2 I mentioned in the previous post. They were costing twice as much on Shadowlands and it was on Pot5. So people doing this if you have characters on more than one server, check the prices. I didn't check JC because all my characters there are lowbies so doubt they can afford it.
