Should one character slot be included for free with expansion?

✭✭✭✭✭Yes they should include at least one slot with the purchase of an expansion that introduces a new classYou know the best solution, from a trolling perspective? Two character slots included with the box, and two added to the crown store. Then everyone who tried to max out would have 16 slots divided between 5 classes, and would lose their minds.
In all seriousness though, given there's a new class, given there's a new tutorial and content aimed at new characters, there really should be a couple character slots included with the box.
Also, as the game has aged, I'm finding it harder to explain and justify the character per account limits. 12 or 14 slots as a hardcap is weirdly low. This is a service they can make money off of, and it's really curious that ZOS doesn't seem to be interested in selling more.2 -

✭✭No we should have to pay for more slots
My answer to that usually depends on which lunch I can get the fastest. Either one would be far more enjoyable than a psychiatrist.Rohamad_Ali wrote: »Rohamad_Ali wrote: »I would not use the word "free" though - that leaves a bad impression. I think it would be reasonable to include an additional character slot in the purchase price, with the option to purchase another two if desired.
Why does the word free leave a bad impression ? I gave out free candy on Halloween . Should I have put up a sign saying "Limited time offer , ring doorbell , get free candy" ?
1. It's not accurate. The expansion is not free, this poll appears to actually be asking if something should be included as part of it.
2. Have you not noticed the hate and vitriol that comes spewing out of some people when the word "free" appears in a forum request?
I don't care what other people think really . It saves brainpower for more important issues of the day , lie weather to order Chinese or Mexican for lunch . If I worried about people's wording around here I would need a psychiatrist after one day of posting .
ooo.... i don't know...

✭✭Yes they should include at least one slot with the purchase of an expansion that introduces a new classAgain a poll which doesn't make sense so I voted in the most contrary way.
Do you want something free? Yes or No?
Of course the majority will vote yes even if they don't care, because everyone will want something free.
Except it wouldn't be free, you'd have paid for it as part of the expansion.
So the only thing here that does not make sense is your comment.
BTW: Looking over my LOTRO account details I see that I have gained 2 "free" character slots with expansions, only one of which actually introduced a new class.

Tai-Chi✭✭✭✭I do not think that a free character slot should come with the new "CHAPTER".- The Collector's Edition - Memerabilia & Game - UK price c £90
- The Digital Collector's Edition - Game & Base Game - UK price c £65
- The Digital Collector's Upgrade - For those whom have already purchased the base game - Uk price c £50
All the 3 mentioned are the ones that come with the armoured mount, non-combat pet, grey combat bear, emotes and an ARMOUR CONVERTER.
It does seem It does seem rather mean to me that one of your existing Chars can look the part, ride the part but cannot make use of the exclusive bear without incurring an even larger expense.
@ZOS_GinaBruno , please get the Team to reconsider on this point.

That's a good point about the deluxe and collectors edition. If your paying that much money they should at least include a character slot.
I will end up paying $58 for the expansion (or 76$ if I want both slots) except I wont be getting any bonus items.0 -

Sure, a free slot with the purchase sounds reasonable.1 -

I've just bought a bottle of wine in this lovely restaurant. They kindly offered they will even open it for me for a bit more money.

But if every store gives you something for free, except the one you're shopping from (free character slots are standard in the MMO industry), you feel a bit dirty doing business with them.
The only difference with stores is you can take your business elsewhere. It's harder to do that with MMOs since you invest substantial time and money into a single game, making a move to another one is very expensive.Edited by MLGProPlayer on February 3, 2017 2:17AM0 -
ValeriaLencoliaSoul ShrivenYes they should include at least one slot with the purchase of an expansion that introduces a new classEven EA gives free slots, the company that wants you to pay $ to be able to have hot bars, or be able to actually use your own in game items and money that you collected... gives free character slots with expansions.0

Expect to pay. Business people make this choice and this poll will merely let them know how many will buy an extra slot. Caching.
Seriously, with the few that are at a max of 12 characters they will see it as justification of not giving giving a slot away for free.
Luckily I'm a business person too. One who just payed for something that I cannot fully utilise unless spending some more money on it.
So that's why I've cancelled my sub for the next 3 months to make up for that extra cost. Not that anything exciting happening within ESO these days anyway.
Not sure why anyone mentions 12 slots? We only get 8 slots for free and I'm pretty sure much more people using all of those. But if not there's even less reason to come it with this bad PR in front of the whole community, when the projected income from these extra slots is low anyway.Holdviola - Khira'de Regalo - Lélekvadász - Used To Be An Adventurer - Zetor - Does-Not-Give-A-Duck - Lord Sugar - Tenar Arha - Da'rinka - Violent Moon - Extreme Runner0 -

Khami✭✭✭✭I don't need a free slot. I have plenty left. I just think it would be a nice bonus and gesture to say "Hey. We really want you to enjoy the new class with no excuses."
WoW and SW:TOR gave free characters at the old max level when they added content in the past. No reason why ZOS can't do the same.0 -

Yes they should include at least one slot with the purchase of an expansion that introduces a new classI am typically against people begging for free stuff simply because they can. However, in this case we're talking about something that could change the balance of character choices for many people, particularly those of us who are alt-a-holics. In this case I think a single slot as a gift would be appropriate in order to allow people who have already filled up their slots and weren't expecting a new class to be introduced to have a shot at this new content. After all, no one was warned that it might be a good idea to keep a slot free and some of us love each and every character we build.
At the very least, if we're not going to be offered a *free* extra slot we should at least be offered a 13th slot (or lower, if you don't have 12 yet) at a significant discount in the crown store. The important thing here is that a 13th slot should be made available.1 -

lardvader✭✭✭✭✭Yes they should include at least one slot with the purchase of an expansion that introduces a new classYes since they introduce a new class at this point. I'm happy we can get 2 new and I will probably buy both either way but I think one free is fair due to the change.
