Character slot discount leading up to Morrowind release

Kharnamatic

Seeing as how 90% of players already have 8 characters, is there going to be a discount on character slots leading up to Morrowind's release? A lot of my guildies see no point getting the expac because they can't create a warden anyway since they have no free character slots. I'm one of those suckers that preordered the expac and will have no friends to play with on the new island because of this.

1500 crowns per character slot is pretty extortionate. 1500 for 2 is more reasonable.

    There is a sale on crowns right now, which is basically a sale on everything in the store. You're asking for a double sale?

    I have 12 characters, I just hope they open up and allow us to purchase more slots, althrough for the price of Morrowind, I would hope they actually give us one.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    Why would ZOS offer a sale for your choice of having a bunch of characters? 90% of of players do not have 8+ characters. It's probably less than 10%.

    I don't care about a sale, I just opened up my last slot today, I'm leaving my last 2 (hoooopefully long enough until Morrowind) open to create 2 wardens. But in the future, I know it might be overkill, I'd like to see more slots available..I mean, we are gonna need more mules for when we run out of inventory space, right?

    I still think that if you buy morrowind it should come with extra character slot upgrades.

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.

    At the least there will be additional character slots given. Though, it'd be nice, as was suggested, for those of us who have bought morrowind that we get the slot, or two, for free with it.

    As long as I've been playing MMOs, I know that more than 10% of the population of any game are altoholics that have more than 1-2 characters. I'd say at least half have 5 or 6 characters. I'm on 8 right now myself. Still deciding what I want to play and which character / class will be my mains. Tough decision for an altoholic. lol

    They confirmed that two extra slots will be available via purchase.

    Which is pretty *** on ZOS' part considering that every MMO ever released has provided free character slots with new class releases.

    I pretty much feel the same way. A character slot should be provided woth the dlc with an addition of a new class. This is just a cheap move on Zos part to not include one. Sure, I can buy additional, but thats not the issue. It's how they handled it. Here is some new awesome content with this really cool, new class. Sorry you can't play it unless you spend even more money. O_o

    Same. Is it confirmed that both new slots will be for separate purchase only? (Source?) It would be nice if you got at least ONE new slot for the Warden with the price of the expansion.

    Gina confirmed it with a post on the forums. I didn't bookmark it, but maybe someone else did.

    I'd hold off in the unlikely event that they change their minds and offer free slots (although I doubt it'll happen).

    As others have said it's unlikely they will do this, even more so now we've had a Crowns sale.

    I'm not asking for a free new slot but It would be nice if they provide a sale off for a new slow when morrowind landed, just to show they care about players and that it not all about the money...

    A slot should be included with Morrowind. Even old ass WoW gives free slots per expansion.

    TESO needs a wardrobe system badly. Something similar to WoW's tmog system would make this game one of the best mmorpg out there!

    @Kharnamatic

    Where do you get 90% from. Would like to know the source of such information since Zos has never released such details.

    Crown sale right now. That provides a nice discount. Players that want to roll a Warden but have character slots filled can always delete the one they use the least. New slots are not that expensive and any subs will have the crowns unless by then.

    Regardless of how much they cost, please release 3 (three) additional Slots instead of 2.

    I'd love to keep my "3 of each class" setup going. ZOS gets more $, I get more Alts. Everyone wins!

    They I agree with. The slots do not cost much to begin with.

    If only 3% of the player base have ever bought bank space, I highly doubt that 90% is even close to how many player have maxed out their slots. Even flipping it on its head [10%] is probably a stretch.

    I bought a 5500 this sale and bought the final 3 slots for alts to do writs for anniversary rewards.

    Dang their horses are slow! I'm leveling that though I will likely kill 2 when I get Morrowind. Then again, I'm not sure when I will get Morrowind. I might wait until the next DLC drop and get Morrowind + 1 month sub. I like the sub every 6 months to play DLC and refill bags approach.

    I was looking at my expenditures breakdown on eso-database and by far my largest expenditure has been expanding storage. Upgrading horses is a distant second. I won't be expanding their storage past 2 bag upgrades.
