128396-will-you-kill-more-of-my-precious-alts-when-free-to-play-arrives

== Content ==
			Because you said all my dear alts was safe, when megaservers came. Then you killed a few of them, only because I had more than 50. Never said a word that there was only room for 49 of my friends. Really want to know if my 49 alts, that are left, are safe. Or should I go and buy more gravestones. "Goes and cries in a corner".	
----
			49?... Guys...Joking aside.. How do you find the time? O_O	
----
			
What in the WORLD are you doing with 50 Alts?  I mean, I'm an Alt-o-holic in the worst of ways, but I can't even fathom ever getting around to 50 different toons.You're just name-camping a bunch of good names, ain'tcha?  :lol:
 
You're probably the one who stole "Tex Arcana" and the entire cast of Star Wars. ;)	
----
			
Haha, no. I wanted a lot of houses, so I've been trying to get them all to lvl 14.
 
I don't work..much..so I have a lot of time:)

Personally I'd like to see that, if you have the box copy and are a signature member you get 50 character slots.
 
12 just feels too low to me, although I doubt I'd ever go to 50, and I dont ever max them all, I just like doing low level stuff and creating characters.

			In all likely hood they'll likely take the active/inactive character route oher P2P - F2P games have were you choose which 12 are active and which however many are not. Just my guess.

They never said they'd be safe forever and ever. They just said within reason they wouldn't be deleted during the conversion. You're exactly why I told people not to take advantage of the loophole and fill up every pre-mega server with alts, because going that far over the limit was just bound to end in disappointment.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Sure, didn't expect all of them to make it through:D But it's a lot different between loosing 4 characters out of 54, and loosing 38 out of 50. I just would like some clarification, so I don't waste my time lvling alts that will be deleted.
----
			
Yes they are safe, it was mentioned in the stream that they won't touch any character you already have made, and they would be considered grandfathered.
 
The only thing that sucks is that you can't transfer between pve and pvp servers unless you get below 12...	
----
			The 4 characters weren't deleted, it's just that the character select will only display the first 50.  If you do a realm transfer of 4 of the characters, the "missing" 4 will turn up in a day or so when the cache clears.	
----
			Not to get another topic running- if I got the game w/ 30 free days, will I be able to use all my 3 characters on one server I'm playing after game goes f2p ?

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling the pressure of 12. With the costume system, I feel compelled to level up one of each class on each faction so that I can unlock the pvp outfits, but... then I don't have any room for... all the other characters I want to make. :/

How did you get 49?
 
Aren't we capped at 12 per server, and there's only 2 servers per region, and you can only be in one region.
 
So how do you get above 24?

			I worry for the (far) future when new races and/or classes are introduced. I currently have one of each class on each faction, with a mix of all the races (i'm waiting for race changes to be able to make my draken... sigh). So if a new class is introduced, or a new race I am interested in making characters for, I will not have the room for it  :(

Me too. I really would like to be able to make more than 12 toons.

There used to be 8 PVE realms in NA, and you were allowed 6 characters per realm.  We didn't delete active characters when we converted to Mega-Servers.  So people in NA could have a max of 48.  There were actually 9 PVE realms in EU, so it was possible to have 54.  Exactly 1 person did that. :)  Although 2 more have 50.
 
As a random point of trivia, at the time we were making the decisions for mega-server, nobody anywhere had more than 36.

I have one of these faces right now....
 
 
Hand on my heart I thought we were having the current set up of 12 PvP / 12 PvE ... didn't sink in until I read this that it's only 12 over all. Oh wow I have maxed (12/12) on both for mule/profession purposes, got some major merching to do and some sacrifices need to be made it seems.
 
naw  :( I might need to eeny meeny miny moe it .
 
If someone from Carbine is reading this could I make a tiny suggestion please. Could you implement a 'please keep' flag to let those of us with over 12 to flag the characters we want to keep please, sort of a safety lock so the 12 we really want don't get deleted when converted over to F2P ? ... please   :)

It will still be per mega-server character caps.  What made you think that was changing?

{| class="blockquote"
Pleeeaaaase any possibility of character limit increasing? Or at the very least merging the server caps to just a global cap...? :

The current cap is based on disk space available / number of players we expect per Mega Server.  It's not practical to make it a global cap because each Mega Server has it's own SQL server, they don't share disk space.  As for upping that cap, that's a combination of several decisions that's outside of my realm, first being the decision to buy more disk space.
 
The worst thing we could do would be to increase the cap, and then end up  running out of space.  Obviously nobody wants that.  We may be more conservative than we need to be, but not by a lot.  And we are expecting a very large influx of new characters in the not too distant future.
