Price of new char slots - I'm worried

Giraffon

I think 1000 crowns is a fair price. I hope they don't go over that.

I wonder how many more slots will be available.

4 extra slots available for purchase tho the price on the pts is 1 crown so I can not say for sure.

The fact that they failed to mention the price is really bad.

I would actually be willing to pay 2000 Crowns for one slot, as I really only want one, so that I can get some of the XB achievements I can't get now (such as completing the tutorial). I transferred from PC, so already had max 8 characters who had all completed some of these. It's still frustrating when I look at my pathetic XB achievements for this game. I look at all the unlocked ones and think, man, I've already done that, several times in fact.

But, for 2000 crowns or more, I'll just get the one. If cheaper, I might consider more. Remember though, that it's only 4 additional, so I doubt they'll be sub 1000.

And yes, I agree that these should be an ESO+ perk, and then let us non-ESO+ members buy the crafting bag!

I use some characters as bank characters, so I can easily get a lot more "bank" slots. I think the cost will be at least three times the cost of a 10 places bank expansion (500 crowns? So 1500 crowns).

If only it were just a convenience.

Considering you can only do quests once (well, the ones that aren't dailies), you can only repeat content with more characters. It's not just a matter of convenience for PvEers, but the only way to do a sizable chunk of the content once another character is done. And believe it or not, some people do enjoy questing and experiencing the stories.

For RPers, it's not a convenience. Adding a whole other character to your roster opens up countless new stories and opportunities. Or another slot for redshirting opens up a whole other experience via, well, redshirting.

I'd make an argument for PvPers but since I'm not particularly into PvP I can't comment too much on it aside from it opening up more alternative builds - but that's kind of on the fence since it's so easy to change up your build as it is.

Either way, for a sizable chunk of people it's not merely a convenience, but a way to open up more content, or get more of the same content they love. That is no longer a convenience the same way those overpriced bankers and merchants were.

^ Agreed. Character slots are certainly not a "convenience". Convenience items are a short-cut to something that can be obtained already in-game. As I said above, character slots would be considered a "service"; something that has out-of-world connotations which cannot be obtained in-game. Race change will probably also be a "service" once it is developed.

Couldn't have put it better myself
