I currently have 3 slots for each server and they are all full.
When they merge the servers i'll have 6/3 characters on the PVE server	
----
			I wonder how many characters that one guy will have, the guy who's had as many alts as possible since launch. You'll have the 6 characters but you won't be able to make a new one until you are back below your threshold. Or at least that's how this used to work out.	
----
			I recall this happening with the F2P conversion. Player had like 50 characters, but the char select was hard locked at only displaying / accessing 14. In order to get to any of the others, one of the displayed characters had to be deleted. Thing is... no telling which char would take it's place.	
----
			
You won't be able to make any new characters, but you should keep them. I currently have something like 21 characters in Entity. I can access all of them despite the limit being a bit less. I presume it would work the same and your character will just go over the limit. 
 
Clarification would be good, though.	
----
			You keep your characters. But if you want to create a new one you either have to delete enough to be under your limit, or buy slots in the store until you have enough to create a new character. You will lose nothing you currently have, if previous merger rules still apply.

There is a max cap of 50 characters.  If you're over 50, only 50 will be in the character select, but the data isn't lost, if you deleted characters to be under 50, you'd see the others.
 
If you're over your account limits, you will still have your characters, you just won't be able to create any others until you're under.

I got 50 characters, on both servers, are you saying that I will have to delete 50 of my characters, instead of you raising the hard cap to 100?

How in the world did you do that?  I thought that was impossible.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
before all the servers were merged to megaservers, made chars on all servers and voilá. You would get 54 or 56 on the PvE one and 42 or so on the PvP. So when the Luminai 2 server came for the F2P release I made 8 chars there and got 50 on the pvp too once they merged.

But why?

3Scoops, I feel you. I have 51 on entity, and I think 8 on the pvp server. I had 56, at one point.
 
Not only will you not be able to see half your toons, but they will sort based off of the really old server names that most people don't remember anymore. So your toons will be in a very random looking order. I've been slowly deleting toons to drop back down to 50, and I had all of those for housing too.
 
I can't speak for carbine, but the response to our issue has always been that players like us are out of luck, which in my opinion is fine, because players with this problem are an extreme minority.
 
Still, I hold out hope, especially for you, because I thought I had it bad with 56....

I just....oh my god would I go crazy with that amount, so. many. log-in. screens. (or can you only have so many active?)
 
I guess I thought I had it bad at 14 and most of them are somewhat untouched but like that saying goes, if you have it bad someone else is worse off.

I was waiting for the 103-characters guy to show up. You did not disappoint. :P

You have ONE HUNDRED CHARACTERS? SERIOUSLY?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
yep

How many 50s? I have 1 lol. I really wish I had the patience to do that but I get so bored with leveling that I can only make so many characters .

			I'm debating with myself whether or not to take advantage of the upcoming server merge in order to get my total up to 42, just for the sake of giggling to myself about the significance of the number. I thought I was running out of ideas when I made my last few alts before the Enity/Entity-2 merge, but then I started getting ideas for housing themes and backstory. Who knows...

The big question is, where will the PvP alts go on the character select screen? Will they all be added to the top to push my main characters even farther off the screen? 
 
Snarkless version: Please, let us rearrange our character order on the select screen.
