Rokien's new thread on multiple character slots

[Mirage]

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.

It can't do everything. One character can't let me play with people I know on two different servers. It would be a dicker move is WoW did it, yeah. Doesn't mean it isn't still a dick move in FF11.

What is the reasoning for charging extra for additional characters anyway if you "expect" players to do everything with one character? The hardware and management cost for an additional server is so low that charging extra for it is like charging extra for a paper tissue at a restaurant. It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Well, it also helps prevent people from being dicks on game if they have to pay to switch servers, another char, and stuff like that.

i like playing multiple charecter's even in ffxi i had 3 diffrent main's i played regularly and several alt's who i saved for when i wasn't feeling sociable/didn't want to deal with friend's/ls.

people like that are going to behave badly no matter what limiting how many charecter's isn't going to change that. some people just enjoy annoying or pissing off other people just black list em and move on.

How about this then? Allow players to blacklist an account. That way no matter how many characters they make you'll know that they've done something to piss you off at some point.
