Suggestion: Add 2 more character slots for the total of 20 Characters offered.

Hi! Yes, You've probably seen a dozen of these threads now and Likely is annoyed by it.. but, Its true! I believe ZOS should add 2 More Purchasable Character slots so they can make it a nice even 20 characters. (Yes, 18 is an even number, but 20 looks a lot nicer for some reason.)
Why?
#1 There is 10 Races - If ZOS was to add 2 more slots, making the total of 20 Character slots, A Person would be able to make 2 characters of each race if they wanted to.
#2 Some people Might've already Championed all 18 of their characters and Probably would like to continue doing that (At least 2 more times) before deleting a character to re-do it.
#3 The More, The Merrier! Some people just love creating and playing multiple characters (It's so addictive and fun! Like ESO Barbies, a friend once told me)
#4 It'll be a Win-Win for both consumer (Players) and ZOS - It'll be $30 more in their Pocket, and We get more beloved characters! ($30 as in, Character slots are already 1.5k crowns which is worth about $15; Two more slots would add up to a tasty 3k crowns / $30) - It can also double as a one-time Promotional offer for purchasing more than 1 month of ESO Plus!
#5 Its been awhile since they've added more slots, Its time to add more- We can be happy with a final amount of 20.
Counter Arguments:
#1 Why not delete your less used characters? Some people have a bond with their many character or don't feel very comfortable deleting something they've worked so hard on
#2 Why not switch servers? Some people prefer to stay on one server rather than two servers - They also may have more friends on one and would prefer to continue playing with them more on said server
#3 Why not make another account? That can be rather time consuming- As they'd need to have another PSN account and if they don't want to regain every Champion point they gained on their main. It can also be expensive if they don't have enough/or want to purchase every crown item they have on their main account. (Though, there is people who do that and that's okay as long as they are happy with it and if ZOS is fine with it. That's just more money for ZOS too!)
#4 Why do you need more than 18? Creating characters and playing them is a fun addiction. I wouldn't judge anyone who prefers 1 character over 5+ characters, I just love creating and playing!
#5 Wouldn't people use those as bag space mules? True, They can, but - If they purchase those bag spaces with crowns, it is still more money in ZOS's pocket - OR, If they grind out the gold to purchase instead, they're still playing ESO a pretty good amount to do so. Still a win-win for both Players and ZOS

codierussell✭✭✭✭I wouldn't mind, It would be nice / I'm Neutral on thisI wouldn't mind them making the extra character slots free. I know it is additional load on the servers and why the charge is there but I still find it crazy I have to pay money to play old content I have already done. They need to get on with this cold storage for unused accounts that have been in performance maps for a couple years now. That way server load is decreased and people can play their game.1

✭✭✭Profiles for characters would be nice to see first. By that I mean being able to record skills/CP/attributes and have gear storage, and being able to switch back and forth for different profiles on the same toon. You could then not only try different roles on the same toon but stamina/magicka/hybrid builds without having to erase a build.
Then add class change tokens as well and we'll see how much demand for character slots this sort of expanded utility covers. Whether we get more character slots, being able to switch profiles on the same toon is something useful.

✭✭✭With the current trend ZOS seems to be adding 3 slots per class, so the next time they add a new class is when they'll add more. If they add more now then people will complain about not having slots when that happens unless they add more slots now and then, so don't expect any more until that happens I would say.2 -

If you play on PC there is an add-on called dressing room that does this. If not well us console players can cry together until they give it to us instead of the emote wheel lol0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I certainly have no issue with people being able to get more characters. However, I think Zos will continue with the slow pace of making them available for server performance reasons. They recently made it so characters of inactive accounts are moved to a different storage area to reduce the load on the servers.0 -

✭I wouldn't mind, It would be nice / I'm Neutral on thisIt should be 24 so I can create 4 of each class. 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps.
...I voted wrong.

✭✭Yes Please!I would like 24 (1 tank, 1 healer, 1 magdps and stamdps of each class) but id be happy with 2 new characters3 -
kichwas✭✭✭✭I would be happy just to be able to use the character maker without having a slot available, and the 'save' edits I made therein or the look of existing characters so I could use them later.

✭✭✭More than 20 Please!While I want more characters, 18 is the number that makes sense. It means 3 per class. When they add a new class, they can add 3 more.
That being said, there is no way for me to experience the Greymoor into or any upcoming intros since all my slots are full. If they release a new chapter, the window will close on me being able to start in Greymoor (unless I just don't buy the other chapters until there are slots).
That being said, I always appreciate more slots. I have so many crowns from subbing and the crown store is pretty barren outside of cosmetics and houses.0 -

20 makes sense, too, because that way you can have 2 of every race.0 -

This logic does not hold up as I doubt players look to make a character by race vs by class. We choose the race that we want for the class build we are makikng or the appearance we like.1 -
Alidel✭✭✭✭More than 20 Please!24 is the number, tho at this point I would take all new slots I could get.1

✭✭✭✭Yes Please!I voted wrong, I'd like enough to make four of every class in every race (tank, healer, magdps, stamdps). I enjoy making characters that much. And I do get attached and can't delete them.
I had 33 in LOTRO by the time I got lured over into this game...and that wasn't the max possible. I would absolutely use all those slots.0 -

Just don't load any of that extra stuff by default. It already takes long enough to get to that screen. Don't need more data to load.

There are various types but it's not quite the same thing because the switching things like skills and CP and attributes has cost and logistics. And yeah, it's also not available for Console.0 -

✭Yes Please!Yet more evidence that the player base not only want more character slots, they need them. Its a simple development and one will make money for Zos. Again and again this matter is raised by players, and no official response from Zos is made, as far as I am aware.
I have 18 characters. 17 CP810, 1 for playing pvp U50. Creating new characters, theory crafting, experimenting, farming, levelling, outfitting, 7 playing with these characters is one of the main areas I gain enjoyment from ESO. I can no longer engage with this area of the game due to the character limit, unless I delete characters I have spent huge amounts of time and effort on, unlocking achievements, quests, map exploration etc. Deletion is not an option for most of these characters and they are all used.
I raised this issue in a number of ways with these threads here, which folk may find interesting...
How many characters do the community have? Look here:

What this person said ^
That. PC players may be able to swap their gear with the click of a button, console players cant. Its a real chore.
And shifting attributes, skills and CP is an expensive & time consuming option just to play your stamdk dps as a tank for a dungeon or to switch between pve/pvp. This issue is just one reason I have so many characters, each class I like to have each role. Then add in pvp roles!
36 is actually the sweet spot, very well said.Edited by Grianasteri on July 2, 2020 10:27AM1
