Buying character slots?

[Lexia]

Just be glad SE didn't use XI sub model or even 1.0 which was even worse if I remember correctly. You altaholics would be paying a ton.

How does having an alt contribute to the population? You are aware that you cannot login on two or more characters simultaneously, right? Once you log off to change to another character, the previous character becomes irrelevant.

Population is calculated by the total number of characters there're on the server. Not the total number of characters there're online.

Just wanna say that having more than one character per server technically already makes you pay $2 more than everyone else.

I could see them adding $2 more for wanting more than 8.

Reminds me of having 16 toons on EQ so I could play every class.

I don't even know with this request, but whatever. More options is more options. Bet the devs will hop on this one as trivial as it is. I miss the Race threads. :/

Just to prevent further conflict, since I'm getting the feeling that some people are, um, offended by the fact other players could use more alts per server: This thread is not a demand, I'm thankful SE gave us many free characters, I am of course willing to play in a different server, I also doubt that my requested feature will be implemented, and yes, with all the above, it's still good to voice my opinion by opening this thread, just in case. Nothing wrong with trying, nothing wrong with wishing for more alts.

Let's all agree that different players have different needs.

absolutely !

but hey, there is nothing wrong with trying or wishing, like u said.
better to try than not try at all or?

Indeed. I just need a reason to make several alts when 1 character can do just about everything, but that that's just me. Maybe for roleplaying, but different classes? I can't see it. Even doing the story again is weird since we have the journals unless the thrill of being an experienced low level player among likely less experienced players makes you feel like the game is new again? I'll never get it I'm sure. Alts for me is for playing the game without worries from your social groups from your other characters. Good luck on your thing though.

There are plenty of reasons to have alts, though roleplaying is definitely highest among them. Others?

- Double rewards for raiding
- Access to all specialist recipes
- Revisiting non cut-scene storylines (class/job quests)

And some people just like to keep their jobs organized. Friend of mine only wanted Mages on her main, for example. We all have our weird little quirks.

You can do this with around 4 or 5 characters.
For non cut-scene storyline you can use a character that you can always delete and recreate if you wan to do the story again.
