Is the 50 character slot limit going to be increased with the release of a new class/race?

Some of us and I don’t think I am the only one with that kind of problem are already at the 50 cap for different reasons and would like not to have to delete any of our alts and still be able to play the new race/class. Have anyone heard anything about a possible increase of the 50 characters limit per account? I don’t even mind paying a one time fee for like 5 extra slots. Yes paying for a second account is always an option but if there is a chance to get those slots on my current one I would prefer to have that instead.

No not likely, as if players want more than 50 characters, they will need another account, hence another subscription for Blizzard.

I don’t think it’s likely. I’m already planning what character I’m going to cull.

Would personally love to see an increase in character slots per account; 5 or 10 or 20 or whatever applies , and i know for certain that many guildmates and friends in game would also appreciate that .

Altaholism is very real for many players, veteran and new alike .

If it is not possible to add account wide for everyone then i would personally definitely look into buying a permanent bundle of character slots ; that however is not something everyone can afford, so for everyone’s benefit the former option would be better.

I agree, the current limit is too low and and as an alt collector I would like more slots please.

Then, as blizzard would say, buy another account!

But carrying 2 or more accounts would be difficult to keep them playing in which accounts

Which means nothing to Blizzard as they will get a second sub

And this is relevant to the thread subject, how?

I would like to see this introduced as well. I have two accounts/subs I pay for already every month. Even an extra 10 slots per account would be great, but obviously the more the merrier.

Yes I need that too, you kind of have to if you want one of everything

I ended up with 3 active accounts on my bnet for the last 3 expansions because of this issue. Still playing all 3 to this day.

I guess Blizzard love that I resorted to that though. I have no slots left at all.

RIP female tauren paladin if we don’t get more slots.

I agree with this, i am reaching the limit of char on my account, especially with the new allied races and char customization being added in last 2 expacs, and with the new race/classe coming i will have to delete some of chars to make new ones

I would like if the limit be removed or something please.

There are now 2 posts about this in the community council forums as well. We can’t post there but if many many people put a heart to it there might be some development in the future.

I hereby suggest blizzard adds 50 character slots for people paying 70 Euros to have it expanded.

I would really love something like this. With the Demon Hunters, Allied races and now the new Dracthyr that are coming I’ve maxed out my character limit.

I don’t have the heart to delete them, though. So I’m a tad stuck.

The total possible race class combos is 200 at the moment for all horde and alliance races. It will be increased now with the new race. I am sure that there are a lot of people whom definitely hit the cap if they wanted to make both horde and alliance races, play on different servers, level up alliance races. And some people just enjoy seeing different race class combos that they could make. It would not hurt people whom hardly play alts if we had more options. But considering how many possible choices there are, a limit of 50 is ridiculous. And it will be worser if we get more allied races or other class combos for any race. So, I think it’ s more than reasonable if they were to give us more slots, even in the shop. I would defintely pay so I can have more characters. I hate having to delete characters when I want to make another alt. I have my own reasons why I enjoy every single one and I want to have more space so I can make different combinations. Even if 50 more may be too much ( though I would definitely love that option ) , at least 10, 20 or so would still be great!

They’ve could’ve got that many times over for people who wanted more characters on the same server.

Now we can have all 50. Just how much money have they ‘lost’ with that. How much money did they ‘lose’ with the in-game sex change we have now?

Profit making and business isn’t always about direct dollars one inch away. There are just almost certainly going to be a lot of people who want more alts, but just don’t want to run two subs of the game at once-- I mean I think it’s reasonable to say they’d think Blizzard are getting enough money, and it’s just awkward to have to keep signing in and out and remembering what’s on what account.

Just because something costs money, it certainly doesn’t make it an assured sale.

I’m willing to bet there’s enough people hitting at he cap to warrant an increase to 75-100 or so. It shouldn’t be limitless, because there WILL be that person who tries to make thousands upon thousands.
