That's kind of what we were thinking. Idred you can check out a movie of the character screen they put up last Friday that where you can see 7 slots and downward arrows indicating more here: http://forums.tentonhammer.com/showthread.php?t=26038

The last we were told was eight per account, so if correct this is an improvement. Could you please check?

Many of us would still like at least enough slots per server to experiment with all the classes without having to use another server or delete characters (i.e. 12), and the previous update did say that it was still being looked at. Is this still being considered? What design factors would influence the choice to keep it at 8 (per account or server) instead of 12 per server?

From the official AoC FAQ: http://community.ageofconan.com/wsp/...&table=CONTENT

11.8 How many characters can I have?
Our current plan is to have 8 character slots in total, covering all servers, but that may change during beta as we get feedback from our testers.
Is this wrong then? I hope so...

i belive 8 is pretty standard on mmo's now days,its way better than the two ive been playing with for the last 4 years lol,just my opinion but if you need more than 8 characters maybe another account is in order i dont have a problem with getting another account if it comes to that...and no im not loaded with cash but it is a business for them and we want the game to last a long time right ? just my humble opinion

This statement would be completely false if not for the prevarication at the beginning. Your belief is in error.

To give a few counterexamples - WoW is 10 per server (hard to call anything standard when you start with the most successful example being different!), City of Heroes is complicated and goes up to 36 per server, EQ2 is 7 or 12 depending on subscription. FFXI gives you...one, and then starts billing extra. But "8 is pretty standard" is in no way accurate.

well your pretty vaige with coh and ffxi, eq2 is 7 not that far from 8,so your just nitpicking a statement that disagreed with you lol,but im not saying that all mmo's are the same at all,but on the whole 8 is close and if you need one character for every prof as in 12 for conan its a bit much to ask in my opinion thats all..take it with a grain of salt (hey why not 24 per account so we can have a male and female of each toon for 15 bucks lol) not to much to ask huh :duck:

Sure, I can be "vaige" if that's what you like. And 10, 12, and 36 are perfectly welcome to equal eight. Good for you. Google will tell you loads more if you're curious.

Anyway - back to the regularly scheduled topic. Athelan, we would love to know what the current status is if you have a chance to confirm it. Thanks!
