How many alts per server?

Has there been any word on how many characters we will be able to have per server?
Already seen people talking about having to play on different servers for alliance/other.
But as a bit of an altaholic I am already interested in swordmaster, white lion, witch hunter and warrior priest.
What did DAoC let you have?

There are 10 char slots in DAoC! I'm kinda hoping for 12 in WAR so I can have one of each class for the destruction side all on one server! Then when the time comes to jump sides and play Order on a diff server I will have 12 slots for them as well.
Doubting this, but it'd be nice...ah well!
Now why do people keep asking questions like how many alts can I make..... how long can i stay in the BG's...... how many instances can I raid....
sigh.
Maybe they ask because it's something they really want to know. You know out of interest and concern?
What i wonder is why some people reply like you (and now I do )
I don't know why I think this, but I thought it was 8 slots per server and al chars must be the same faction on a server (Order or Dstruction)
I must admit though 12 would be better considering there are 12 classes... not that I will have more than maybe 2or 3 alts (my usual number) But this is WAR and so different in a lot of ways. For instance, I will only need one crafting alt (if at all)

Er...I would think those are all valid questions actually. I make lots of alts, and would like at least enough slots to make one of every class/race per side.
While I know what the beta permits (but of course can't share) there's no way to be sure what will finally be implemented so I think we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, the only downside to the 12 slots for each account per server is the number of character names that get wasted/tied up by inactive toons. Maybe Mythic will look at that, or maybe they will look at the average number of toons people have on a single server and use that number. Who knows?

I think its fair, that if the slots are there...each paying player has the right to fill that spot with a char name for future use. Then of course you have the CE's as well..players are paying more to get a head start and have first picks at the best names! I did this fully intending to log in and get all the good names I always like to use but miss out on sometimes in other MMOs, and I will use them all eventually..I always do! I never make name-holder-chars and not intend on using them!Although I do think that say if that char sits at lvl 1 or unused for more than 6 months it should be auto-deleted so other players have an attempt to get that name. The unused names on trial or closed accounts should be purged after awhile for the new players to use!
I agree, but with one proviso. If a full account is abandoned the toons should not be deleted. I sometimes go back to games more than a year... just recently I paid for a single month of WOW <blush> just to see if anyone I know was still there grinding.

I thought I read somewhere that once you pick a side, you are "locked" to it for that server. SO once you choose Order, you are on Order for that server. You cannot roll a Destro alt on the same server. Not sure where I read that.

Yep .. you read it right..they're nto allowing for players to have order & destruction chars on the same server. Its to avoid flip flopping on the server when one side is winning / losing. And to cut down on cheating via spies.
Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!
Actually man when I clicked this topic I was like "Finally! A good question!", so I dunno what yer on about.
I won't brow-beat you about it though. I just think the OP's question is very valid and of interest as many players take a good deal of their time levelling an entire stable of alts.

Fantastic. I'm looking forward to this game more every day.

I am thinking Kraiden mentions this because the game is under NDA. No one knows this and those that do can't tell. . .

You wouldn't understand
lol @ all the people who hated on the staff writer...
umm if you knew anything about warhammer you would know its in strict closed beta testing
and if you knew anythig about beta testing you would know....THINGS are NOT final, good god noobs
I know how many chars we can make per server right now, you really think thats just gunna stay that way? Well they will prolly tweak it, and no I aint gunna give out the numbers.
I play all ghame
I'd wish they set the slot number low to like 1 maybe 2 per server.
And why so?I always liked a large number of slots because it eliminates the need to delete an existing character just in order to try out new classes.
I'd be highly surprised if it's 12 which is obviously the perfect number any altoholic would want.

I agree with AlienShirt on this. I know I am dreaming, but it was nice in SWG when you could only have one toon per server per account because it (in my opinion) made people more responsible for their actions because they would have to delete that toon in order to make another. This (in my opinion) builds a better community because it helps you know who the bad people and good people are. If you ninja and make a bad name for yourself you either live with it, try to change your image, or delete your toon. None of this crap like wow where peeps act poorly with one toon and then jump on another and act like a saint. Just my opinion tho... a person can dream for accountability in an MMO (as far as social actions go).Cheers!

yes but remember back then you could change your class any time you want on SWG so there really was no reason to have more toon slots...
From the videos posted on youtube the slots are at Ten right now but again nothing in beta is set in stone

No Alts for you!
Congratulations on using the full word "you" instead of "u" though really. I can see that you're really trying hard and that earns you some points. Almost everything about your post screamed "u noobs! lrn2fnplay" but you bit the bullet and spent those extra milliseconds to spell out the word you properly. *Standing Ovation*

Thats funny how Sober is attacking 420. Anyways, 420, the vast majority of us know its in closed Beta, however that doesn't mean that all details about WAR are still kept from the public. Look at crafting which was recently just explained in the past WAR newsletter and was previously withheld knowledge from the public. Anyways my point is....you fail.
At life. You fail at life.

You can't show something that you didn't have.
The notion that this game was anywhere near completion in november is near laughable after all that's been shown and yes leaked lately ^^
If you consider all the recent games released that were allegedly "finished and ready" I bet if War was released tomorrow it would still be better that all of those games AOC included.
I played AOC because I am a huge fan of the novels etc and my opinion, (which means exactly that) is a big disapointment.
Not that the game in every aspect is bad, just that they released a game with mechanics and game play I really don't care for.
My opinion of War is it has a lot of different things to offer not currently out there in the mmo market, and hopefully its going to bring back some DAOC RvR experiences.
My opinion agian is that of all the rpgs/mmos out there DAOC RvR was the most fun Iv'e had in any game.
Just to clarify I'm talking about the original DAOC game when it was released before spellcrafted gear and TOA.
To each his own but I think the real delay with War was the feed back from players to make the game alot more fun was too important to ignore and so Mythic held back and made the attempt to get it right on the first try.
