Character Limit and Store Purchase

Emmeric1964

I'm fine with an 8-character limit with purchasable extra slots, however, $15 a slot is awfully high. Further, the game is limiting its income by limiting the purchasable slots to 4. Neverwinter has something like an upper limit of 24 character slots, allowing alto-holics the option of purchasing slots well beyond the starting 8.

Why limit income by limiting slots to 12? With the expansion coming out, imagine those who are at their limit being able to buy more slots to make the new class. The 12-limit needs to go. More purchasable slots = more money.

They are providing additional slots to be purchased when the expansion is released. They stated that in the announcement post.

This is the sock in ZO's underwear.

Want more than 12 characters? Well you need to buy another account.

Want more storage? Well you need to buy another account. Possibly even 9 if you're keen and want those guild banks.

Sit back and watch the box sales number slowly rise. Then watch ZO beam with pride over that. Then watch gaming sites falsely equate box sales with individual players.

Suddenly the game's popularity looks bigger than it is. Oh my!

And if you're seriously playing on those extra accounts then you're probably going to at least buy the DLC for them again. Maybe also some mounts. Kaching!

I don't understand why they set the limit so low either. My other MMO allows something like 70 characters per account and while most people will never need anything like that many there are people who have hit the limit, and that's a lot of extra money for the company behind it.

Some of those people also buy 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) accounts because they provide other benefits.
