Rokien's new thread on multiple character slots

[Arcell]

You do realize a dick move would be an MMO like WoW charging for extra characters, right?

FFXI and FFXIV has 1 character that can do everything, so charging $1 extra in XI for example was charging for the ID, not the character and if you truly needed or wanted a character, you will buy the ID.

If I'm not mistaken, weren't you restricted in the number of crafts you could take past a certain point per character? I mean not as a big a deal but in FFXIV they're classes. Hopefully they don't use the alts as an excuse to start restricting things...

You were restricted to the one you can take to 100 (prior to earlier this year), and the rest to 60 (generally more than high enough to do a lot of the synths that aren't main to 1 category, i.e cursed gear was generally fairly up there cap wise.)

Since we already know of one set of restrictions to come (lower inventory space since crystal wise it was temporary) but aside that there isn't much they can limit in this game besides if they do introduce a retainer sharing type system.
