already made 2 characters - Dwarf and Tiefling, and i would like to buy more slots for Wood Elf and Half-Orc, but i just cant. the option for buying more character slots is just greyed out and it say 'this character is unable to purchase this item'. what does it mean??

have i to buy some founder's pack or in time i will get more character slots as i adventure with those two??

    No.. Login to one of your char, and buy the 2 slot from the Zen-shop.

    Or, don't pay the expensive rip off, and just create a new account. Two free slots, right there.

    In order to buy more character slots you need to get a character to level 10 and validate your email to allow you to purchase Zen.
    Once purchased the Zen is not assigned to any particular game, you need to transfer it to Neverwinter via your wallet.
    Once all this is done, you will have the Zen on Neverwinter and will be able to spend it to unlock more character slots.

    The character slots are a good price. Many other games, they cost more.

    Also, having your characters on one account/shard is convenient - being able to mail things to "@handle" and grab those items with any of your characters is nice.


    and finally..... enough with the "OMG RIPOFF" whining. Spend some money on a **** game you're playing, cheapskate. If even $5 for good value is "expensive ripoff" to you? Yeesh.

    The character slots are a good price, but the real monetary cost of a high level character comes in the two extra bag, additional bank space AND mount/companion training that you will need. My back-of-the envelope guess is that this will come to about $40 per character.

    If you buy it, none of that is necessary.

    This is why I bought the Guardian pack, free t3 mount and companion for all my characters. worthy investment. 5 bucks for 2 character slots is a rip off? And truly I only need to buy the bags once. just keep mailing them between my active characters. Bank slots are another story.

    Unless you're buying an account bound mount, you should just create another account. Bam 12$ saved.

    I mean, think about it... lol.

    You can buy them, like it was stated before me, for 500 zen ($5) on the Zen market. It is not a rip off at all, as also stated before me, when you are playing this game for free.

    Also you can get better deals on Zen. I created a new Gamefly account for $5.95 for the first month and received 1575 zen. You can get free Zen for doing surveys as well.

    As for those that say make a new account and get it all for free. You are pathetic. You are handed a free MMO and you decide to take up more mb with a new account rather than pay a measly five dollars. If you are that poor perhaps you should be looking for a second job instead of playing video games. You are the same type that gets on here and *****es about the outrageous Zen prices, yet you are the reason for them. If you would invest a few bucks then all the people that aren't tight asses wouldn't have to pay the inflation.

    Nothing to do with being poor. More like they have played other PWE games and know they are horrible and will do whatever they can to not pay a dime to that greedy company. Word of advice when you see PWE any where on a game, wait 1 - 2 weeks before you spend any money and let other people waste their time and figure out you have to drop $100's to accomplish anything in a reasonable time frame.

    Farming bosses, dungeons, raids etc to gear up is how it's supposed to be done. You build relationships and friends and build a community. Farming AD's for 6 months so you can transfer it to zen so you can then buy a enchant or whatever their system is, is terrible. You can defend PWE or whatever you want so you feel better about your 60$+ purchase but in the end it's a terrible system and it will fail like 95% of PWEs other games. They make a ton of money up front, then they sustain for a few months after that from the die hards, then right when the contract with the developer is about to end they do 1 more cash grab (like sell everything for one whole cheap price and by cheap I mean 100$) then the game dies. I might consider picking the game up in a year or so when they do that last cash grab if the community is still alive.

    Edit: And good luck with the stability, I've seen cereal boxes perform better than PWEs servers.

    This.

    I don't support games that have extremely abusive cash shops. I do, however, spend thousands on games like LoL who have the integrity to make a fully free to play game while only selling cosmetics.

    ^ This. Just create another email address and make a new account.

    I could see 4 slots as a base and increase them as you buy stuff, ie.....if you bought that $200 pack you should get unlimited imho.

    Yep, even LoL has it's flaws to be honest. The best system is DoTA 2 and I don't even play DoTA I prefer LoL.

    They'll learn and 3 - 6 months down the road when they realize they've dropped 2K+ on a "free" game with no population they'll think about this post and hopefully commit suicide so that way ****ty company's like PWE can not survive longer than a year with cash grab games. The people that support this **** are the real detriment to gaming and publishers will use and abuse them until they don't pay anymore. EA and Activision have and still successfully do it (sports games, CoD), so will PWE until people learn (which they won't.) That's why people like me and you drop 500+ on the real company's worth supporting.

    What PWE doesn't understand is that MOST people would quit the game if they ran out of character slots over spending real money for additional ones.
    If this was a single player game, that would be ok. It's not though, its an MMOG. Even the free players you want to keep interested as long as possible playing. It creates a healthier and livlier game: more people queuing for PVP and dungeons, healthier Auction House, world doesn't seem dead.

    While you are right that there will be people who will leave due to whatever reason, PW has been around for sometime and their games continue to make money (if not they would have shut it down by now)
    To grow old is inevitable, to grow up is optional.
    Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.

    And it's hyperbole like this that makes devs ignore the forums, since they know it'll be full of over-the-top stuff that no-one can take seriously.

    Yes, I'd like it if a few of the prices were a bit lower. But "extremely abusive"? Dude, you haven't seen an abusive cash shop if you haven't played an Aeria game. Their latest T&A game, Scarlet Blade? How about weekend sales that give you a "bonus" if you spend above certain tiers? And those tiers max out in the $150+ range. How about a package deal of a costume, an inventory bag, and a bank expansion.... that costs $200. How about nearly everything else people would want, only in random boxes that cost up to $5 each.

    That's an abusive cash shop.

    (And it still had crazies posting in a thread about how they'd spent $1-4k on the game in the first month. So they've got no reason to change, even if 90% of their customers buy nothing.)

    They don't mention the problem of two accounts . I hate when she uses my computer , because I have to type in my email again to login my account. Much easier if its just you playing to add more toons to your account .

    There are a couple of practical disadvantages to having multiple accounts:

    Can't benefit from account-wide purchases.
    Can't share/pool Zen.
    Can't share/pool AD.
    Can't share account-bound items.
    "Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev

    thx for those who had some good advice. i will never do more than one account, i want to have all my toons on one account.
    when im lvl10 with one of my toons, i will buy those Zen money and buy 2-4 more characters. lets hope Cryptic will release regulary more and more Classes and some more Races such as Dragonborn, Eladrin :)

    even that this game is free, i will give them some money for the nice work they have done and some more :)
