    1 per server currently then? I thought we could have more. I hope they don;t make it like SWG and require more purchases for additional per server.

    SWG charged for extra chars? i was pretty sure you could only have 1 per server no matter what, i played that game for a year. weird if you could, i had no idea. i thought only FFXI charged for extra characters.

    He's talking about buying multiple copies of the game so he could have more characters than were allowed per account.  In SWG it was really common to do this so you could get more "lots" of land that you can put harvesters or houses down on.  But, yes, that also means paying the monthly fee for each account.

    Fact: My daughter is in that 1%.

    I would have expected it to work much like the original EQ. I personally do not know what class I want to play yet and I intend to make atleast a couple of charaters in different archtypes initially to try. I can not believe they would limit it to one character on a pc based version.

  • HubabubaHubabuba Member Posts: 229
    I thought I'd read somewhere that EQ2 would allow you to transfer items, no coin, between characters.  If so that'd seem to indicate that we'll get at least 2 character slots per server.

  • iceseraphiceseraph Member Posts: 202

    One of the best parts of the game is creating and trying out new character possibilities. Limiting players to one or two characters would definitely ruin the game for me. I certainly would not want to have to delete a character in order to try the other character classes.

    I had wondered if it would be like EQLive in the fact that the "RolePlay Preferred: server only had one character allowed?

    OH and HELLO! I'm new here!  image

  • jimhusjimhus Member UncommonPosts: 180

    No idea on the number of slots - except it is greater than 1 per server. Since they aren't going to limit you to 1 per server, I'd suspect the typical 4-8 slots.

    EQ2 Character FAQ

    Character Creation and Customization FAQ<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

     

    Will I be able to create multiple characters on the same server?

    Yes, our game allows you to create multiple characters on standard servers.

     

    How many total characters can I have?

    We have not announced a total number of available character slots yet.

    i really wish the game would just come out imageimageimageimage

  • ElElyonElElyon Member UncommonPosts: 219

    the eight character slots were really nice in the original eq but i can see how that would get expensive for SOE to save all that data, I would love to have eight again but 4 would be ok. i personally would pay 5 bucks more a month to have eight though. that would be a really cool option :)

  • ThoomThoom Member Posts: 436

    I wonder if EQ2 will limit what kind of char you can have on one account ala DAoC? Will it be ethic based, good vs evil?

    I know its a stupid question just curious.

  • ElElyonElElyon Member UncommonPosts: 219

    it wont, DAOC only did that cuz of the good vs evil thing, eq is pve based, DAOC was pvp based.
    i bet you can have evil and good characters since we wont be fighting real players.

  • IowaYetiIowaYeti Member Posts: 468
    very happy to hear we will get more than per server! In SWG the ONLY way to get more than 1, besides unlocking, was to pay for a second account.

    I will need atleast 5 slots so i can figure out exactly what archtype i will want to play with. 6 would be less but anything less than 5 would be a pain for me.

    ugh that would be so weak if they made you 1 per server and like 3$ per addiontial char , that would really piss me off. I want to be able to make atleast 4 per server without paying ::::11:: i'll be so pissed if they make you pay for every addition.

    Here is what Moorgard had to say about multiple characters per account (from the Moorgard Index):


    This topic has already been discussed internally, and a decision was made. Normal servers will allow multiple characters. While you can feel free to discuss the merits of that decision, it's not something up for debate.

    We may introduce servers with special rulesets that limit you to one character, but that would happen down the road.
