Does anyone think the extra character slot price is WAY too much?

I’ve finally gotten 8 characters going. Run random dailies on them, do pledges here and there, crafting writs, etc. I have one main character obviously but the rest are just currency mules essentially.

I love Xynode’s builds and every time I come across another cool one, I want to make a new character to match it. Came to realize you can have up to 18 characters (craziness) but to purchase 1 character slot is 1500 crowns? Or essentially $15??? I was expecting $5 or 500 crowns basically. What the heck why are they so expensive?

    remember that you get a free armoury slot per character via the armoury station, so you can functionally have 8 additional characters assuming they are the same class (ex stamDK and tank DK)

    You could also slowely buy the character slots with gold->crown exchange.
    I mean 1500 is like little more than 3 million gold on EU, on Na around 2 million.
    Doing writs with 8 toons and the surveys you get from them should provide you with some mats to sell.

    Honestly, to me it doesn't seem that expensive. 8 slots is enough to have one of every class and the armory helps with different specs. I am use to playing subscription MMOs and having extra character slots makes the subscription cost more. It adds up over time. What seems expensive to me is that armory and outfit slots are also 1,500 crowns, but they are only for 1 character.

    I think many things in the crown store are priced too high.

    Not really. People complained about the outfit thing being one per character. In fact, you'd be forgiven thinking it was universally unpopular, yet the same system appeared with the armoury slots. So, one can only assume, the option that truly matters and dictates those things, the sales figures ZoS have at hand, shows there's more than enough people who buy into the one slot per character system.

    That said, I don't disagree with you. But the fact it's made a return means the pricing is correct, and what we think matters not one iota.

    I think it's much worse that changing a character's appearance one time costs 1,000 crowns or $10.

    There are plenty of MMOs that let you do that either for free or for a nominal in-game gold cost.

    Totally. Or if you just want to change your hair color. It's absurd.

    I can understand maybe some crowns for the hair or the character slot, but not what it is. Way too expensive.

    Expensive or not, I'd continue to pay it if they would make even more slots available.

    I only even thought about buying them when they had a flash sale late last year.

    That said, no regrets and would consider buying more. I used to play about 8 toons. These days I play 2, I sometimes play a few more, and the rest are money making mules improving my QoL for the mains.

    You can buy the hair/facial hair from the crown store....that's enough for me. Yes, no colour or face shape changes....but like....day to day...surely a shave is enough?

    I actually think character slots are one of the most fairly priced items. You get so much experience out of a whole new character slot, and each one costs about 1 month of ESO Plus, or currently about 1.3–1.5 million gold on PC NA.

    The price has worked well since it has held for years. If it were too high, it would not sell well. Sales are the message that speaks loudest since it directly indicates proper pricing.

    @tsaescishoeshiner makes a very good point in the post before this one.
