If ZoS sold additional character slots how many would you buy?

AlnilamE · May 2015

You are so NOT an alt-a-holic or a RP (or maybe those are just different terms for the same thing)

No, they are definitely different things (though I'm sure there is a lot of overlap.)

qsnoopyjr · May 2015

7 to 9 slots

I put down how much I would buy tops.
Most likely it'd be 1-3, but only up to 9.

This game unlike GW2 you actually get benefits from having more characters.
Via hirelings giving you stuff.

I learned yesterday, the only way to get breeze juice and frost miram is through hirelings or writs.
You can only do 1 wirt a day, so if you want a lot of breevze juice and frost miram your gonna need a lot of hirelings.

I assume if your not a tradeskill person, you wouldn't buy any new slots though.
This game also good for playing just 1 character.. You actually invest in 1 character, games like GW2 everyone is equal, all you do is use up 78 level scrolls and 300 of those skill scrolls. BAM that character is just as good as your 1st.

This game, you gotta spend 60 days to get riding skill to max. Probably other stuff too. Like fighters guild stuff and Alliance War.

PKMN12 · May 2015

16 to 18 slots

I would probably end up buying around 16 more, i have a SERIOUS case of Alt-itis, though it would take a while before i EVER reached that amount of characters slots actually bought.

Tors · May 2015

more than 24 slots

1 MEEELLLIIOOON!!!!

Actually, thats hard to say. You would buy one slot. Then a while later, decide you want to reroll, and for some reason, think hmm, that toons is still usefull so ill buy a 2nd slot.

THen the 3rd slot you delete a character instead, then decide to get a new slot a week later after the pub as you CBA to empty all the items from his backpack

newtinmpls · May 2015

Um... they already do that. It's called a second sub. And I did it. So I guess my answer is "8"

Tomg999 · May 2015

Out of curiosity, why did you buy another account? Unless it's just another bank to hold endless amounts of crap, there's no other reason right? Seems a little tough to try and dual-box this game without extensive macros/scripts.

It depends on price.

Since you can essentially get another account for $20 (cost of a box nowdays) with 8 slots.. they better be priced comparatively.

The lowest price in the U.S. for mainstream crowd is around $35.

You don't get the mounts if you already have the Imperial edition, there is the inconvenience of having to mail items between accounts, other QoL issues,

Wrong. Very very wrong. 10 playable races and only 8 character slots per account is one possible reason. 3 factions and 4 class per faction is another possible reason. Wanting different characters for RP purposes in another possible reason. There are lots and lots of reasons why someone might do this. I've got 2 accounts myself, and 16 characters - none of whom are mules.

Oh, and for the record, I'm 2 decades out of high school, and I play more games now than I did then. Kinda weird, I know, but most of my drinking buddies play too, so maybe that's why :P

Didn't know an opinion on a heavy lack of content in ESO could be wrong. =P

Everyone is entitled to their opinion - which means that there are LOTs of 'other reasons' for having a second account.

I'm older than @UrQuaan ... finishing grad school, and since our original live RPG group is now spread over several states, this is a nice way for a group of gamers to play 'together'.

Also I love creating backstories for my characters.

Has nothing to do with anyone's opinion on content.

Edit: in discussing this with my spouse, he mentions that two accounts worth of hirelings might be a very good way for a Craft-Heavy player to support a single character that really really wanted to concentrate only on crafting

I'm just approaching it from the perspective of what your general casual players and under would want. With the moan and groan from the already awful VR grind, I wouldn't think the majority of players would have an immediate need for more than just a few character slots.

You weren't expressing an opinion saying that. You said

which isn't an opinion, and is flat-out wrong. That's all.

Killum · May 2015

I put zero because I don't really think I would be interested in the game much after leveling 8 characters. That may change though depending on what new content is added and how the game moves forward.

The price of a character slot would also be a factor.

1 to 3 at the moment. It depends going forwards how many bit part actors I need for my films. I have the full 8 slots and I really need at least one really short male bosmer for a future project.

I have one. He is a Mule and quite distinctive looking. I made him purposely ugly at the time as I knew I was going to delete him at some point. But, now I just can bring myself to do it as I have grown fond of him. He is kind of a Steam Punk Bosmer and he is as short as I can make him.

Ffastyl · May 2015

I would not buy more slots.

I play on one character. My only reason to create another character is try out another class, which I can only do when ready to give up on my original character (fat chance when I played one character for four years in Oblivion). In regards to race "min/maxing," I choose a race close to myself - I play myself within Tamriel. Optimal or suboptimal, I pick a race as mine and stick with it, regardless of character iteration.

Thus, with only four classes to explore, I need only four character slots, half the number available to us now.

Not sure why people want more than 8 slots cause there is really no point in making more than 8 characters.....

Why do you believe everyone is like you with the same attitudes and beliefs?

I always want to run all the "races"/"species", and always have a mass of alts.

I cannot do this on 1 server, so I'm forced to use 2 servers to get this.

So I simply want enuf slots to do this on one server.

This also is an RVR game or if you prefer an AvAvA. So I like to have 1 healer/1 tank per Alliance or Realm, plus a sneak and a regular dps.

Hopefully the light will dawn and you start to see my reason for wanting more alts is not as you ASSUME.

Um, there are 10 races... Maybe you don't have access to Imperial though (I still think everyone should have access to Imperial).

No interest in Imperials (don't consider them to be a race; just a bunch of prima donnas).

More character slots is not something that would get me to open my wallet for this game company.
