Having to pay for extra character slots after buying pre-release collectors edition is a con.

As if £50 uk wasn't enough for collectors pre release upgrade. Zenimax should have offered those who paid for the collectors edition something extra, the standard edition comes with extra items for pre-release, so why didn't they provide collectors edition pre-release buyers with free character slots?? the real cost of Morrowind collectors edition with 2 extra slots is £75 for those who have filled there free slots up. really Zenimax be fair. @ZOS_GinaBruno

    The subject has been discussed extensively.

    The answer is Zos could have charged us £75 and tossed in the extra character slots, since nothing is free. Then they'd probably sell less copies. Better to make it ala cart and let us decide if we want to buy an extra slot.

    This makes sense from a business perspective. However to encourage people to make 2 new characters for mag and stam they should allow additional character slots to be purchased at a discounted price with the purchase of morrowind

    This is the only issue I have with them charging anything for.

    Did they make people make 2 of each character, and only give 8 by default no, but it obvious why it's 8.

    With an expansion they should be giving you at least 1 if not 2 more slots for free. It's what any other MMO would do @ZOS_GinaBruno

    NOBODY got extra character slots, everyone has to buy them if they want more.

    People who bought the collectors edition did get something extra. They got the armoured horse, spider pet, Morag Tong conversion, grey bear and the emotes.

    If those were not the extras you personally wanted you had the option of buying the standard edition and putting the remaining money towards thing/s you did want instead.

    If it makes you feel any better, if you were a new player just buying Morrowind you'd get eight slots.

    If you can afford the collectors edition, I'd say you can afford the extra slots. They are not expensive anyway, guess I'll just buy them with my subscription crowns.

    Let see... they said we would get a new class..

    your account if your not a sub has a maximum of 8 characters you can create before you have to buy another slot

    you were at the maximum number of slots used already before morrowind came out

    No where at any time did they mention you would receive an extra slot..that was clear that wasnt part of the package at any time.

    you tried to make a new character

    you didnt have any more slots left


    .................This is ZOS's fault how?
