Additonal Character Slot with Mod 9

[maddmatt70]

As the title says. DDO is over 3 years old. It has been 6 months since mod 8 when we last got a new character slot. The current cap per server is 10. We are due for another character slot in my opinion. I would further request that every 6 months we should get an additional new character slot.

Absolutely. I'll give that a big signed. We know there is no additional coding necessary for it cause you had that bug early on after mod 8 where
the create button would keep popping up ungrayed and allow you to make more even at ten. This cannot be any more time than hopping in
and changing a number 10 in some variable to an 11. All of half a minutes work before live release as an extra "Thank you for being such loyal
players".

I don't really understand why there are limits at all, considering the pay structure.

If it was a one-time-pay kind of deal, it'd make sense. But we're paying recurring fees here, for unlimited amounts of playtime... but with limited amounts of characters? :confused: Mrph? :confused:

I understand that extra characters require extra server storage... but computer storage is one of the cheapest things you can buy. Not to mention, I doubt each character takes up much more than a few MB - peanuts in today's market.

It is one of Turbines mistakes IMHO, they merged the servers but did not merge the slots we had, so we lost slots in the merge, we should have a base of 14 per server with the 2 old unlocks, plus the ones they have 'given' us since then (3 I believe) would equate to 19 slots per server atm. So basically they owe us some more slots, and far more than one slot (I would be more happy with the 6 I feel they owe me still from the merge), especially in a game where building new chars is part of the experience/time sink.

The two european servers has 14 slots each, even more if you have old toons from merges.

Now we're down to 50?

Anyone get their fees reduced by around 60%? :rolleyes:

And yet many others assumed it meant "X character slots times the number of existing servers." :rolleyes:

I think this is a key point. If they want to keep veteran players subscribing one thing they could do is add character slots. Alot of people do not like rolling up characters on other servers they just like running on their home server and would rather unsubscribe then level up characters on other servers.

One thing that has been discussed briefly be Turbine is the recent error which granted players 2 extra character slots which has since been rectified. Why not just make it official and give everybody 2 more slots?

I'd be ok with a microtransaction fee for this...just charge me $5 for each additional slot I want, that should more than pay for the server space it takes :D
