    The cost of Alts

    Quick question, my wife is starting to get in to the game and I was wondering, how many characters can you have on 1 subscription? I see some people have a lot of alt characters, and I can see them paying another subscription fee for this? I know I could find out myself by just doing it but I'm not in a position to check atm.

    Anyone know?

    A standard subscription lets you create up to 8 characters.

    Though if you plan on playing with your wife, she's better off getting her own account and subscription, since you cannot log into your account on more than one device at a time

    8 characters per server, with a maximum of i think 40 characters total? This requires a Standard subscription, as the Entry subscription only permits you make 1 character (not sure if it's 1 total or 1 per server).

    Of important note though, is that you can only log into one character on the account at a time, if you wish to play together, she'll need another account of her own.

    Very good point! I don't suppose it would be possible to transfer an account later on? We've only got the 1 PC anyway, later on though who knows.

    No you can't transfer it. Roles created on one account stay with that account. A new account would require the whole levellng process.

    unfortunately you can't transfer characters onto a new account. She would be forced to make a new account later for that and start over. I'd advise she gets a trial account, it's free to level 30 and she can decide if she wants to get herself an entry subscription to continue that character past that point later. That level 30 restriction isn't just on one class either, she can level everything to 30 before she'd be unable to continue levelling.

    So you can play the game for free with an unlimited time frame, except you can get past lvl 30?

    yep, there are some restrictions on other features, not entirely sure what they are, think there's some chat system restrictions.

    But you're given as much time as you want to play around up to 30. You can even continue playing once you're capped there, just can't progress any further without a sub.

    Isn't there a 2 week time limit for trial accounts?
