I was wondering if you are going to up the allowed number of characters per account, at the moment it seems we are only allowed 5 per account, I am willing to pay for the extra slots to be able to have more characters, thing is with the new up and coming class I will at the moment have to start a new account if I want to be able to have this, I would rather not do this and would prefer to just have 1 account. I am hoping you will look into this and maybe up the character slot allowance accordingly to cover the new class when it comes.

    You may purchase up to 50 character slots per account through the Zen Store.

    Zen is your friend!

    Although 50 slots is a bit extreme *wink*

    Also, you only start out with two per account. Not five.

    Ohhh, I think I know this issue OP. You have to buy the character slots from one of your characters in game, not from the character selection screen.

    Glad you're awake ambisinisterr... My sleep-addled mind was racing to remember the numbers... -_-

    OP, you get your 2 free slots and have to buy more, currently at 500 Zen / 2 slots, up to the maximum of 50.

    If you're a Founder, at least HoTN not sure on Guardian, you start out with 5 character slots.

    Guardian gets 1 extra slot, so has 3.

    I do wonder if your account becomes premium after a purchase on the market like in D&D online.

    This game doesn't have tiered access in that manner, as there is no subscription option, but only f2p. As such, there is no middle ground for a premium level of access to occupy.

    Which makes it ridiculous that the game only allows you two characters to start the game with. If you're going to have a maximum of 50 character slots, at least let players have 5 free ones.

    It's a free game. 2 characters should be more than enough to get a feel for the game and see if you want to throw in a couple bucks or not.

    DDO only allows free accounts 2 slots, premium get 4 the rest have to be bought. Vip or subscribers get 10 and the rest have to be bought to a max of 40. With then new paid expansion it allowed me to have 44 character slots in ddo. If a DDO sub drops to premium they loose 6 slots until they are bought.

    Not all who seem to be lost want to be found.    :D

    You realize you can have as many slots as you want, as making a new account is free, right?

    Its too bad too, cause I was hoping to get lifetime like other cryptic games and just have ZEN generated every month.

    I 'must' give them money to play more (have 3+ chars), and to don't waste their servers space with multi accounts.

    Mmh...

    Yes you must. You can play for free just fine with two characters slots. They have to make some money somewhere I don't really think $5 for 2 more slots is going to break anyone's bank. The problem is everyone wants just about everything for free. How about you start a game company and give away everything for free and see how well that works out for you.

    Mrrr? I believe it's a full respec of everything, but you can access it from any character sheet tab.
