2 New Character Slots Confirmed?

GrumpyDuckling

I've heard rumors about 2 additional character slots coming with Morrowind. Any truth to these rumors? Would be nice to know if I need to delete a character, or not, to make a Warden.

Purrmaid

I'd love to know what your current slots are taken up with because I find it almost impossible to fill all of mine.

idk

Yes. Zos confirmed this. Then again my comment is still a rumor until you see the announcement Zos made in the subject.

Haha yes. Any chance you know where I could find info on that announcement?

Google it. It's either in the forums from Gina or on the main website. I don't recall which as I've slept since then.

2 new slots, but you have to buy them. They don't come with the expansion.

I have a bunch of "specialty" characters that mix lore-based builds with different races. I have 10 of them up to level 50, and I'm currently working on my last two (until Warden comes out).

3 of each class.

@OP: I heard there will be 2 slots available, but for crowns only...

Yeah. This is the catch. They will allow you to buy more slots. So generous of them.

I'm still curious about the specifics.

Yo dawg . Heard you like buying stuff so when you buy morrowind , you gonna have to buy even more to play a class that comes with it . To play a class , you either delete one of your characters or pay crowns . Good job zos . Hope one of those character slots will be free or comes with a discount .

Kneighbors

You can buy 8 slots for 50$. Just buy a new copy of the game. You will enjoy leveling up characters and sending mail to each other is even easier than sharing bank.

It will be tough with warden because there will only be two additional slots, so you if you already have 3 of the other classes you can only have 2 wardens maximum. So some sacrifices will have to be made....

ESO is the only MMO I have played that doesnt include a character slot with an expac that introduces a new class. Ive grown to realize ZoS is a greedy company. I think I will be deleting one of my 12 characters just on the principle that I dont want to give ZoS a single penny more than what I am already paying. I do not like that I am expected to pay an additional amount above the full price of the expac.

Speaking for myself I've got:
Main Account (720-730ish CPs)
Level 50 Imperial Dragonknight Caius Drusus (DC)
Level 50 Orc Templar Bragg Ironhand (DC)
Level 50 Argonian Nightblade Neesha Stalks-Shadows (EP)
Level 50 Altmer Sorcerer Falidir (AD)
Level 50 Khajiit Nightblade J'zharka (AD)
Level 50 Breton Sorcerer Isabeau Runeseer (DC)
Level 50 Dunmer Dragonknight Fevassa (EP)
Level 50 Redguard Templar Manut (AD)
Level 50 Altmer Sorcerer Tylera the Summoner (EP)
Level 50 Nord Dragonknight Svari Snake-Blood (AD)
Level 50 Breton Nightblade Ashlyn D'Elyse (EP)
Level 50 Bosmer Templar Filindria (DC)

Second Account (180ish CPs)
Level 50 Bosmer Nightblade Aerin of the Briars (AD)
Level 50 Nord Dragonknight Hrolgar Fire-Blood (EP)
Level 50 Argonian Templar Seeks-His-Fate (EP)
Level 25 Khajiit Dragonknight Do'Zahr (AD)
Level 50 Altmer Templar Eldanwe (AD)
Level 50 Bosmer Templar Nedhelas of Falinesti (AD)
Level 50 Redguard Dragonknight Tiela of the Spirit Sword (DC)
Level 50 Imperial Dragonknight Aquila Drusilla (AD)

Third Account (170ish CPs)
Level 25 Imperial Templar Lyria Innocenti (EP)
Level 25 Bosmer Templar Sylara the Spinner (AD)

Level 50 Redguard Sorcerer Selara of the Sands (DC)
Level 50 Breton Nightblade Maribelle the Sanguine (DC)
Level 50 Nord Templar Hilda Iceheart (EP)

So that's what I've filled my character slots with. I could buy more slots on account 2 & 3, but for obvious reasons I'm happier to have more characters on my main account.

I will gladly share specifics, @Purrmaid !

My level 50 characters:

Dominion Elite - High Elf Magicka Templar

Daggers and Bow - Khajiit Stamina Nightblade

Imperial Emperor - Imperial Tank Tampler

Dominion Mage - High Elf Magicka Sorcerer

Bloodmender - Breton Healing Nightblade

Bloodblazer - Dark Elf Magicka Nightblade

Edgar Scales - Argonian Healing Sorcerer

Hist-Dragon - Argonian Healing/Shielding Dragonknight

(Name will change) - Bosmer Bow/Resto Templar (attempting hybrid)

(Name will change) - Bosmer Sorcerer Archer/Werewolf

Then my other 2 slots that I am leveling are currently a Dual-Wielding Khajiit Sorcerer and an Imperial DragonKnight tank.

I don't mind, I'm just glad we can buy two more slots per server (2 in CS is 2 per server).

@Myyth

Zos like have increased the cost of the expansion by $10-15 and added a character slot. If you think those other companies gave you a character slot free your fooling yourself.

Besides, many do not need an extra character slot so it's wise to not charge them for something they don't need.

Yup. If they included the slots for free, someone in marketing/finance would have to hold their breath until they increased the price of Morrowind by US$30.

They probably justify not giving this for free because they have some statistics that show only 3% of the players have maxed out their accounts, and 50% haven't even created a second character.

Nope, I am not fooling myself.

WoW included a free character slot with the release of Pandaria and then another slot when they introduced Demon Hunters in Legion raising the limit to 12. And they didnt charge for those slots.

SWToR - when they released Fallen Empire you could start a new level 60 character that came with and included an additional character slot.

LoTR - when you purchased Mines of Moria expansion, you got not one, but two additional slots with your purchase.

Hmmm, still think ZoS is not being greedy charging for slots on top of paying for an expansion?

@Myyth

Unfortunately, not the case

With each and every expansion with a game that sold extra character slots you purchased the character slot was added to your the cost. To buy the expansion meant the player was forced to purchase the character slot. Forced regardless of need of desire for it. Obviously any game that didn't sell extra character slots could not add them any other way so that's not part of this discussion.

SWTOR didn't sell Fallen Empire but required players to be a sub to get accesss and to get the lvl 60 token. Subscription is not free and the entire idea of that expansion was to get more players to pony up for subscriptions instead of going for a one time expansion payment.

Either way you paid for those slots and kudos to their marketing team to make people believe they got it for free.

All of those on PC/NA? You've been busy! What's with all the 25's?

Yup, those are all PC/NA. I've got some PC/EU characters, but I've really never played any of them beyond creating them. Not being able to transfer stuff from one server to the other made me not want to play on both servers.

As far as all of the level 25s... I have this thing where I hate to leave a character sitting at a level that isn't divisible by 5. A while back I did a bit of a push to get all of my lowest level characters to level 25 because it seemed like a nice number to be at (being half of 50 and all that - also getting to level 25 on all of them ensured I had enough skill points for their hirelings without impacting their playability). Since then, every now and then I'll take one of the level 25 characters and start focusing primarily on playing that character until that character is at level 50.

Sorry you cant change facts.
I bought an expansion for all the games I mentioned and got a character slot included. There isnt any fancy marketing trick going on. I bought the expac and I got a character slot. Simple. Regardless if it was part of the cost, it still was included and I wasnt expected to pay extra. Cost is not a valid argument. Mines of Moria costs less than Morrowind, yet they still included 2 character slots with purchase.
But if I purchase Morrowwind, which is a full price expansion not a DLC, I do not get a character slot and am expected to pay. By your argument with the amount I am paying for Morrowwind, that should be part of the cost.

Really? Fooling myself? An expansion for Guild Wars 2 costs the same as Morrowind and I was given 2 free slots. Your logic is flawed.

One of those wasn't free, it was one of the Deluxe Edition bonuses (like the horse and grey bear that come with Morrowind). The other one was only added after the initial announcement, as a pre-purchase exclusive, because the players threw a hissy fit at the price.
