Would you like more character slots available?

As the title says, would you like to have more character slots available, beyond the current 18 character limit?
The boring bit/detail...
Ive been playing ESO over 4 years now. I have 18 characters. I enjoy the creative process involved in character creation, the idea, the theory crafting, the level grind, the new gear farm, the outfit, mount and pet selection etc. To continue enjoying ESO in such a fundamentally essential and basic way, I'll clearly need more character slots - or, have to delete one or more characters that I poured love, care, time and effort into creating - for me, simply not an option I am comfortable with at all. I play almost all the characters and those that are on the back burner... well deleting a fully leveled class with all unlocked skills/passives, map locals, shards, lore books etc, thats a LOT of time and effort wasted - I have and will again return to the few less used characters in time. Its a process I repeat regularly.
As you can see from the poll linked below, the player base actually have a huge number of characters. In fact over half those polled, have over 10, and surprisingly over 30% have over 15! Its logical to assume large portions of the player base need more characters. Do please drop past and vote/comment there if you wish.

Yes, some folks start new accounts. Why should I have to? I have a quite ridiculous amount of time, effort, unlocks, dlcs and real world money invested in my account and I have no intention of starting another. Each to their own but no, it shouldnt be required.
The game has expanded a huge amount over the years, yes we have had some increases, but its time to rectify this issue now. ZOS needs to provide at least 1 or more logically 2 further character slots for free as a bare minimum (20 in total). With further slots available from the Crown Store for purchase. Many wont like that, but I do understand its a business etc, so long as they are reasonably priced, perhaps in line with outfit slots (which are actually ridiculously over priced but thats another issue for another day). Long and the short of it is, Im sorry to say, Id pay. This makes business sense, it makes game sense.
So, thanks for reading, please like, comment and subscribe and be sure to hit that juicy bell to get notif... wait, wrong platform... sorry, please do vote and comment with your own thoughts and ideas

True to an extent, but its also factually accurate and descriptive. Youd have more of a point if Id said, "No, I do not want other players to have more character slots available", but I didnt, players refers to both YOU, and other players. Its a catch all, because by saying no that is obviously what you are voting for - for neither you or anyone else to have more characters slots, and thats fine, each to their own.

I didnt ask for anyone to pay, youv made that claim twice, incorrectly. I suggested that given ZOS is a business, that could be a component and that I personally, would be willing to pay. I also said that as a minimum, everyone should get additional free slots. In case it was not clear, I do not believe additional slots should be purchasable instead of free, but its ZOS were talking about so I am realistic. The salient point was, should there or should there not be additional slots available. The detail was just my opinions and thoughts.

Once i got to the part you said buy i know they would take that and run with it like the inventory pet they added over just giving more slots if ZOS is asked something with an price tag added they will do it just got to keep waving that price tag around long enough0 -

Look bro if zos would put more into the game then more items to sale others might be open to wanting things but since they dont people dont want to see ANYTHING else but the things left un fixed to be looked at we as an community have asked for them to STOP adding and start fixing because its what the game really needs not more pets, mounts , dungeons , overland zones or slots so tbh i see why others cant back the idea now as more slots aint going to fix ANYTHING0 -

✭Based on your own poll from last year, the overwhelming majority of players has substantially less than the current maximum. That's likely additional income from nearly 70% of players(based on your own poll). ZOS isn't going to hurt a potential revenue stream just because a statistical outlier like yourself writes a wall of text.0 -
Elsonso✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭YES, I would like more characters slots availableI want additional slots because they typically add another free slot when they add more slots. I am out of free slots.
However, I recall at one point that ZOS commented that very few people have more than a couple characters. I suspect that they won't add slots if that does not change.
The next chance for additional character slots is the 2021 chapter, so this is a good time to be mentioning this to them. Planting the seed of the idea right at the start of the chapter work, when they are still making content decisions, is much better than trying to do it at harvest time when they are trying to deliver it.1 -

30% of the community (with 15 or more characters, many of them likely with more now) represents a statistical outlier? Where did you learn statistics like!
Its also very much a matter of opinion if "the overwhelming majority of players has substantially less than the current maximum", with respect to the poll. 46% have 10 or less characters, which would seem to me to be, with respect to the poll, the most appropriate range for your "substantially less" than the max. Including those that have between 10 - 15, gives 66%, again I feel falling short of your claims. But as I say, these are just opinions on both sides.
Im also not sure what point you are making viz income. Seems to me that there is far higher chance that adding additional character slots will increase revenue, not decrease it.

Why does every idea anyone makes ever, generally get trolled by folk screaming "but performance, fix that first!". Firstly its highly unlikely that the stored data from player characters has much if any effect on live server performance. Secondly, who cares, performance is not a factor when considering the simple question, "should folk have more character slots available".0 -

Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

Because while this game is incredibly open-ended and gives you a ton of things to do, it's not unlimited. They can't just give you unlimited characters. And even if they increased the slots, there are always going to be people that want more than that. Say they increase the cap to 24. There are 100% going to be people who fill those slots up and start asking for more. ZOS can't just give you unlimited characters.
I very much doubt that, considering they made character loading a specific performance plan improvement. "There are millions of accounts in our database. The goal of this task is to split the character database into “active” and “inactive” shards to remove the need to pool all the character records for all logins" https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/56681 It's clearly enough of a problem for ZOS to fix it- they're not gonna add more character slots to potentially make the problem worse.Grianasteri wrote: »Firstly its highly unlikely that the stored data from player characters has much if any effect on live server performance.

No, but because the pototoes ZOS call servers are totally inadquate for handing the current numbers of characters so until more servers are added, it's a QOL needed NO!
Why does every idea anyone makes ever, generally get trolled by folk screaming "but performance, fix that first!". Firstly its highly unlikely that the stored data from player characters has much if any effect on live server performance. Secondly, who cares, performance is not a factor when considering the simple question, "should folk have more character slots available".
Considering the question, no. Implementing the question, yes. Each character is an entry in the database. Each character has equipment, skills, achievements, and more that are stored in the database. Database entries are indexed for fast retrieval, but the larger the index, and the larger the database, the more system resources it takes. This can impact performance. This is why I do not think they will entertain the idea until after account archival is done in 2021. Omce that happens, the database will be smaller and less of a performance burden.
As to your larger question, performance is currently a "forum topic". These topics are generally chosen according to whatever current issues are presented most loudly. This usually involves politicking in order to make an attempt to suppress, or belittle, other topics of conversation. Once established, it can cross over into other threads and coversations and become the measure by which replies are made.Edited by Elsonso on March 31, 2020 12:37PM0 -

Glacku808✭✭✭Honestly, not yet, my toons aren't even full yet - what I would like is more classes though, then I might need a few more character slots0 -

✭✭✭✭✭YES, I would like more characters slots availableI have 18 characters and Im not sure I would want any more.
However for those that do, I dont care if more are made available.
I dont see much of a difference between adding slots to current accounts or people having second accounts.
Either method adds characters and data into the database.
If I did want more, Id also prefer to have them all on the same account rather than split.Beta tester November 20130 -

✭I have 10. I would love to add another if there were a new class/race. Otherwise it is just more of the same and quite frankly that is getting boring.0 -

✭✭YES, I would like more characters slots availableI voted yes because I have no problem with additional character slots being added but at this exact moment I actually am OK with the amount we have.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭NO, I do not want players to have more character slots availableA biased poll is still a bad biased poll. Besides the statement, OP makes as it is clearly intended to bias the results. The poll itself asks one question if we want more character slots, then provides answers to a different question about other people wanting character slots. I ignored the irrelevant part of the answer.
In other words, I have enough character slots for me. Thanks for asking.Edited by idk on March 31, 2020 2:35PM0 -
Lixiviant✭✭✭✭NO, I do not want players to have more character slots availableI can't keep track of the characters I have now much less adding a few more. As it is, using a spreadsheet to see what I'm supposed to be doing each day gets frustrating!PS4/PS5/NA - And sometimes EU

✭✭✭✭✭NO, I don't want more slots (I've got the 8 free filled, if I wanted more, I've plenty I could buy), but
NO, I don't want to deny things to other players.
So, yeah. As others have mentioned, I can't answer the poll because it's got rigged choices.Edited by Kiralyn2000 on March 31, 2020 5:21PM0
