Rokien's new thread on multiple character slots

[Tonkra]

"Can you switch to WHM, please?" "Sorry therefore i have to log into my other character. He should be near Mor Dhona"



Well i dont think that people will play that many characters, just maybe for trying out an other race. but i dont think, because of the current flexible job change system, that they will level that many twinks. the job change system has its advantages, you dont have to play through the story, chocobo quests over and over. just once.

This feels more and more like a troll-a-thon. I'm glad he's not on my server...

On a related subject I cannot see anyone ever taking advantage of 8 characters per server at all. Even in FFXI I only had 4 to store equipment, one wasn't ever even used. I've currently got 4 (One inactive, never really used.) characters right now with the intention of only playing two. The third I had created just to experience the Limsa Lominsa story line but never finished it. In 2.0 I'll likely keep only 3 characters focusing particularly on one and using the second when the mood hits. Overall I see no reason to even fuss about someone having more than one character.

There's really no way to gain a edge over anyone or anything by having multiple characters, not unless they're all on separate accounts.

There will be a way to gain advantages if we have gardening and such later on. That was one of the reason to have 16 characters in XI. 16 times the profit.

Having several characters will be useful for any in-game activity that is :

- Repeatable
- Have a cooldown / some kind of limitation
- Doesn't require a high level character or a well geared character
- Profitable in some way (and that profit needs to be transferable)

" I'm Rokien and I don't like

...is where I stopped reading.

I was surprised at the announcement for eight characters per server under one subscription fee... Given the all jobs-craft -> one character concept.

Unless something unsane happens such as: Legacy characters can become multiple jobs. New characters created in 2.0 are restricted to one class, one craft.

Three characters at most to experience main story. Mayhap as many characters necessary to go through the main scenario with different path companions.

I think it is simply to allow you to play both male and female of each race if you choose to, anyways who really cares its extra and not required.

The multiple characters thing is huge for role players. With eight characters they can create a deeper cast of characters.

I lol'd pretty hard.

It's amazing how much you guys hate on Rokien yet the people who hate on him are almost the sole reason his posts stay on the first page for so long even after whatever slight discussion was to be had finished pages ago.

Congratulations on perpetuating your object of hate.

Gives me something to do.

And in all honesty, if no one voiced their disagreement towards some of his bad ideas then there would only be support for it. And you can see where that would lead...

I don't hate Rokien, and I fully support his freedom to present suggestions and opinions.
