How many new character slots will we get with Elsweyr. Let's guess. 0? 1? 3?

With new necromancer class many of us will need a new character slots.
But only ZOS will decide how many of them will we get.
Zero? One free? One free and two by crowns?
I have 15 toons already. And they are in process of horse training and trait researching.
And I worry about new class. It can cause a necessity to rework whole my character system.
Let's guess, OCD people, what awaits us this Summer.

    really hoping for just 3+ crown ones you should be able to have 3 slots per class.

    Yeah 3 would be ideal. I have an OCD need to have one of each class in each of the 3 alliances.

    The default should be 10 because 10 races, but obviously it won't be (ever) because it doesn't benefit ZoS.

    my guess is 2. one for magika, one for stam. I'm not sure what the point of having the same class in each alliance is. pvp? but if you are that into minmaxing, then you'd need 6. for 1 stam/1 magika and i doubt THAT would happen.

    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    Stam/Mag/Tank. It matters way less for PvP, at that point it's just symmetry.

    EDIT: Granted, my account looks more like:

    Nightblade: Stam/Stam/Stam
    Templar: "Tank"/Stam/Healer
    Sorcerer: Tank/"Stam"/Mag
    Dragon Knight: Tank/Tank/Stam
    Warden: Tank/Stam/Stam

    2 would be ideal for me at least.

    Probably two - just like the Warden. I have no problem paying for them, but I'm sure most here will cry they should be free.

    Ideally for me it would be 3. I would pay but think they should at least provide 1 free as a minimum.

    My account looks like the following:
    DK: Tank, Mag dps, Stam
    Temp: Heals, Mag, Stam
    Sorc: Pet dps, Nonpet pvp, stam
    Nb: PVP, stam, mag
    Warden: Tank, heals, stam

    Three is a good fit if you like to optimise and minimise skill/cp resetting etc.

    I hope for 3 but 9 would be perfect. Currently I go stam/mag/tank on most classes. I gots no healz.

    My character list looks like:

    Warden (Main)
    ......
    ......
    ......
    ...... empty ......
    ......
    ......
    ......
    ......

    I don't have this problem. I pay for Magicka/Stamina Changes and play that role for a few month or so and then change again. Everything all on one character. One faction because I dont care who wins or loses overall I just care if I do good and enjoy PVP as well as PVE.

    However if I was to wager how many slots they give you, they will give you 1 and make you pay for extra because the people who need multiple of a class will pay for it. They might complain but you know in the end their wallets will open up and ZOS knows this.

    If they are smart, it will be 3, and one of them for free for preorders.

    I'm expecting 2. I'd like it to be 3. I'll be disappointed if it's 1. I'll be downright upset if it's 0.

    All paid of course. I doubt we'll get any for free.

    I expect the cap will raise by at least two, at most three.

    I don't think any of those will be free increases though.

    If they are indeed releasing a new class 1 will have to be free at least.

    So 2 is the magic number i believe, 1 with the DLC 1 you have to pay for.

    The only ever time they released a new class, Morrowind, both slots were pay only... and I know it's only one example, but the precedent is set. I wouldn't hold my breathe for a free slot.

    Problem is you will buy the expansion+ 2 more character slots which is just too expensive. I have yet to buy all extra slots I have 10 maxed out characters atm but still I think with new classes they should give at least 1 free slot
