What the spots I want for my DKs are already taken by the name holders for that class. So I'm all set to get rid of toons to make room for my DKs. Lets hope it is unlocked for the whole account.

I only have 1 high level char and thats this one.

I also don't use bank alts for selling items on the AH because I don't worry about portals to go to shat because I have my shaman spell ancestral recall which I can use every 15 minutes.

I guess I'm just not the demographic thats getting screwed over here.

Q u o t e:
I just don't see what would be so difficult about creating a "Hero" tab on the selection screen. There's obviously going to be more hero classes, so why not have the ability to play them all. Click the tab, and have a slot to make 1 of each hero.


I'd be happy with just two more slots, 12 per realm instead of 10.

Part of mage training in Dalaran involves the crafting of warlock nerf threads with the proper amount of tear reagents.

Q u o t e:


My bank alt exists because of the lack of portals in Azeroth cities to get back to Shattrath. Has nothing to do with bag space.


hearthstone, if that's down and you're in org, invite a random person to your party, make him leader, and walk into RFC, leave party and enjoy the free hearth back to shatt

getting back to shatt is no trouble at all

I vote for more character slots. Now that I have been playing this game since it started I have absolutly no space for another toon on my account. Sure I could delete one. That doesn't make functional sense to me though. Many of us enjoy all our toons. Their are many who probably have high level alts in all 8 character slots. Allowing us another slot or two seems fair to me. The game has been out long enough that it would seem to make sense.

Of course if you come out with another playable race then we are back to square one.

As a thought, I would recommend the ideal where the number of character slots an account is allocated per server = number of classes available per faction +1, minimum.

What good is the ability to have characters on both factions of the same realm if, by having a character of each class on the same faction, I cannot play both factions on that realm?

My little Belf rogue is level 8, but that in no way eliminates the appreciation I have for simply being able to log onto the horde side of my realm and get in touch with people who primarily play of that faction.

Cool. So I can do the quest to unlock the DK on my PvE server, and then roll a new DK on a PvP server and start out at level 50+.

Not bad.

that's good to hear that it's at least being considered...the way i think of it is i can fit it in for this expansion, but you've got to think longer term, if you're planning on bringing out an expansion every year (as has been stated before) and you're planning on bringing out more "hero classes" with every expansion (as has also been stated before) people will run out of character slots for those that like to have their characters on one server.

Then you could station of of your Other 9 in Org that you dont hardly play and turn him into a bank alt. I really doubt you play all 9 all the same time.

The real root of this problem is still the horribly small bank/bag space we still have, you guys are aware of this problem, right? Giving us a few more slots in the bank and another bag did nothing when you greatly increased the number of collectibles you guys threw in the game, you know this, right? You know the next expansion is probably going to go the exact same route in terms of tokens and crap, right?



Bank alts aren't fun, and we shouldn't be forced to have them because the bank system in this game is borked full up the you know what. I had to actually add a second bank alt for my server for herbs and the like. I'm already at a situation where I'd love to make a new character, but cannot.

no new char slots. delete or transfer a toon.

or if you'd rather not be one of the other 6million lemmings who roll deathkingts you can just skip them altogether

The right answer here for Blizz, would be to say: We've opened and made available 2 new classes to our players now through 2 expansions (Sham/Pally swap, and upcoming DK class). Since we've expanded our player's abilitiy to create characters, yet we've not created space for them to play on each server; it's time for us to devote some dev time to expanding user slots available per server.



While you're at it, how about some attention to the character selection screen - you know, 1-2 devs w/ 1-2 hours devoted to that, could have a new load screen (showing ALL sorts of toon details - via a simple Armory lookup, would be GREAT), along with expanded toon build options bt the time of the next x-pac.. (IE: more spaces!)

I'm glad to hear we're getting new dances, and haircuts btw.. (sigh)
