I just have to ask:

What could you possibly need 8 character slots for in a game where 4 characters can literally cover every skill?

You're asking that in a game with 10 playable races?

SoulScream · January 2015

Yes please and buy pvp forward camps too!

MissBizz · January 2015

Mules. Unless they also offer more bank space for crowns.

essentially, its 10 races and 4 classes, so a total of at least 40 combinations from there, then add roles, weapon types...

ArconSeptim · January 2015

Should be possbile to make each class for each race so calculate

Mules… and more mules… and mules that are no longer mules and are now characters that still have to mule a bit on the side.

All my mules are maxed bag space and have a maxed capacity horse, not getting rid of them!! No, I have to play them now… but I need to move their stuff to new mules...

><

Guess I could just throw some %^&@ out too…

DarkAedin · January 2015

and if i want to spend my crowns on mules? so what? how does that hurt anyone? u can too!!

b92303008rwb17_ESO · January 2015

And faction/race/gender/class change, account wide achievement and etc., as ESO has a cash shop now. Why don't you people in ZOS make even more profit by adding these anyway?

DarkAedin · February 2015

moar character slots!!!!!!!!!! do eeeeeeet

Theosis · February 2015

Id rather they add more classes and then more slots.

Welka · February 2015

How about the fact the game is crippled-by-design inventory/bank-wise or if you want to do anything more than dabble in crafting?

Sallington · February 2015

It's almost like you have to make a choice that matters, in an RPG.

Except you can make the choice 8 times. Seems fair to me.

mandrakethebard_ESO · February 2015

Let me begin with full disclosure, that I am pro-subscription.

Having made that clear, I have to say that if you're determined to do a crown store that I feel additional character slots is a good idea. It gives players something substantial, while not unbalancing their gameplay (i.e. P2W). Certainly some people will use the slots for mules, but most people will use them to explore new character ideas.

I'm certain there are some limitations on what you dare allow that are programming-based and transcend our petty desires, but I would suggest capping the available *possible* slots at 12 and making 3 of those available through the Crown Store, with the other made available as a Loyalty Reward.

I'm a master crafter across all professions (spread over two characters), and I've had absolutely no problems with bank/inventory space. I anticipate having even fewer problems when I can have mounts that grant me increased speed/stamina/inventory all at the same time.

Kragorn · February 2015

Ah the "it's not a problem for me so it's not a problem" view of things.

Okay.,

More of the, "If only some people are having a problem with this, then it's likely not an issue with game design," view of things. Pesky, isn't it?

^ lol @ u

i have 2 mules full of bound gear that i test with and use for all 3 roles on the other toons that i play.

i use my wife's account to hold onto unbound items.

since all you think about is inventory, ^ this is a problem.

there is another situation here that you are missing out on completely:

there are 8/9 playable races, there are 4 classes, there are 3 roles.

outside of the obvious statement where i'd personally love to make every combination possible, for funsies......

lets just say for arguments sake i want to make dps builds:1 magicka 1 stamina build for each class, thats 8 toons right there
now i wanna make a tank for all classes, thats gonna take another 4 slots
i also wanna make a best in slot racial for healer, thats another slot or two -given its not gonna cross over with one of my magicka dpsers.

what if im an altaholahic and making new alts and lvling is my thing?

putting this on a store means everyone has access to it, and its YOUR CHOICE whether u want a pretty pony, a teal chef's hat, or another character slot.

A few things:

1. I'm not really all that opposed to the option, but I could see some potential balance issues when people are basically paying for increased inventory space (granted, that's not all that big a balance issue).
2. I am, however, confused by your assertion that one "needs" to be able to create different characters for every potential combination. There are more skill points than one can possibly use on a truly one-dimensional build in the game, so the notion that you couldn't have one character fill multiple roles is just a little ridiculous.
3. You have a specific desire to play 100+ characters to level 10 and then abandon them (because no one has enough time to play all those combinations for any substantive amount of time). Cool. But the potential balance issues outweigh your addiction.

RACE COMBINATIONS

Esha76 · February 2015

I have all 8 character slots on NA, and 2 characters on EU. Not one is a mule. I play all 8 of them. Eight of the 10 are well into VR levels, then a 24 and a 35 are works in progress. I have three variations of Nightblade and Templar that require different morphs to be fully effective. Especially with the 1.6 changes with stamina morphs being included. My two on the EU server are developing quite nicely. I will add it was quite entertaining to start completely over again with nothing in the bank.

Do I need extra slots? No, I don’t need. I could blend two of those NBs and Temp builds. But they wouldn’t be exactly what I want them to be due to specific morphs. Sage said they will be adding additional skill lines in the future before they add any new class. If any of those skills are morphable, then there will be even more build options. That would greatly increase the use/need of more slots.

Even with the 8 on the NA server, I have no delusion of cranking them all through VR dungeons, trials, and pestering some guild to take each and every one of those characters to gear them up. Actually, my days of gear chasing are over. I had enough of that in other MMOs. It would just be nice to have those two extra slots to be on one server for gf/friends/guild to be able to contact me easily when I feel like playing those 2 other characters, the way I want to play them.

DeLindsay · February 2015

There NO VALID REASON for ZoS not to add additional Character slots to the Crown Store and even as one poster said, a possible Loyalty reward. It doesn't hurt anyone who only has 8 slots vs others who have 9-12 slots. I agree 12 should be the total cap from all sources. This addition would only stand to make ZoS money, therefore keeping the game alive, as well as making those Players who want additional Characters happy. It's a win-win all around.

ashlee17 · February 2015

More character slots would be great

until then I think I'll just wait for a sale and buy another copy of eso now it's going sub free.

More storage space, 8 more chars and someone to bounce my mail off

It will probably work out cheaper then buying "extra slots" on the crown store anyway if they ever offer them.

im lucky enough to have access to my wife's account and she's a casual so i use most of her character slots. and i fill her mailbox.

this has been going on since day 1 early release to now.
this is not acceptable in a modern day mmo, i should not have to BUY ANOTHER ACCOUNT in order to
a) have enough bank space
b) play all the alts i want

stewhead2ub17_ESO · February 2015

I don't care about bank space, mules, or anything else. I'm just a severe altoholic!!

Well,

if you only consume the game 1 char slot is enough. But if you want to immerse into it, then 8 wont be enough. Every Char has a different RP storyline, every Char has to look different, be of a different race, attitude or style.

Its impossible to cover this with 8

That said, it takes years to really play all storylines, I am still busy with two of my 8 and have 6 more to go afterwards-

Some like to play every race,Some just want to create a funny looking character to play around and have fun,Some are rpers. There is alot of reasons

Maybe you want to create some characters for different factions?
