Regarding Character Creation on Congested Worlds

[Kilriven]

I am with you Joven in thinking that your initial post is the way it was (or should be) since like you said, we can only play one toon at a time per account. With the way it currently stands, it almost seems like their database cannot hold any more records/objects. From a technical standpoint, this seems kind of odd and I would love to read a definitive answer as to why what you originally posted is not true. Does their database have a finite amount of primary keys without room for expansion? This congested worlds problem should have been solved long before even early release as its a no-brainer that the majority of people are going to want to try out the new races.

To make the rules simple to understand for one thing. Also to prevent people from doing sneaky stuff like creating an alt on a congested server and then transferring their old character to some other world.

Or perhaps the devs were just lazy and thought it was too much work to add an exception for alts.

I would say it seems to more of the latter and less of the former, but since we aren't allowed to criticize on here I'll just leave it at that.

This is my thinking too. If a person having too many alts causes server crowding then why did they offer us so many character slots? Maybe I'll just wait like Dhaid said and see if I can't create one once the initial sperging dies down.

I just wanted to get out of Aether and go somewhere quieter, now I can't
