Buying character slots?

[Felis]

Wait, so it was an actual feature in the past? O_O
In that case, perhaps the possibility of it being implemented again isn't 0! Thank you for the information; I never played the original FFXIV, so I didn't know.

yes, but not many bought more than 2 slots (because 3$/month each slot). Majority played with just 1 slot.
8 slots would cost you 24$/month just for the slots.

Yes, I think that the monthly fee isn't that much of a good idea in the long run, especially for people like me who plan to stick with the game for years (that'd be the most expensive character ever, haha x_x)

My initial idea was a one time purchase of an extra slot in the server of my choice, so that I can play one of my 40 free characters in that slot. Technically, I'm not asking for a 41th character; it wasn't about purchasing more characters than what I'm initially allowed in my account. And just for the record, I personally wouldn't pay a monthly fee for a character I can play for free in a different server. As I said, it's not a good idea in the long run.

It would never be a one time fee. Look at the extra retainers, it is $2 per month. It would be a monthly fee per extra character if they did add this feature, they have to maintain that extra data each month and will charge you for it monthly.
