Extra Character ?
At the moment you can have 7 characters per shard per account. I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in being able to buy more slots.
Yes I could go with a second account but that adds complications and a monthly cost I could do without. On the same account would allow more specialized characters without the use of soul stones but you would still have that option. It would also save having to remember which characters have which expansion packs.
I could see myself using one or two extra characters but not six.
I'm thinking a $20 price the same as the 7th slot with a max of maybe 10 characters.
Assuming the game could handle it what do you think?

I wouldn't have to use soulstones quite as often then...
I think 10 chars on one shard is lil bit crazy...
would love the option though
I know games where you start with 6 slots and can buy up to 40+, for $10 each. They do well.
cause I know if you could have 10 chars per shard, I'd have 10 per shard.
the gifts would multiply...
but I do know that 7 chars isn't really enough... to do all skills, you have to use soulstones.
I'm actually thinking about sending one char to another shard, just because I don't want to stone off her skills but want to do something different with the slot.
Agreed. Personally, I think 7 slots are too much.
At a one time price less than two months of gametime. It only takes a quick glance to figure out EA would drastically lose money by letting this happen so people could merge accounts.
By the way I said a cap of 10 just because it would need some kind of cap and 10 is a number between the 7 we have and the 14 of two accounts.
By the way I think all free gifts should be that way and shard locked.
I thought you started with six and had to buy the seventh character slot.
I still have a few accounts that only have six.
Ej accounts aren't playing the same game as a paid account. That's why the OP is asking for more characters instead of using one. They get nothing special. Even their banks are useless. There is zero comparison between them. Micro trans also aren't comparable to monthly revenue generating accounts.
For a rough estimate. $12.99 monthly generates $155 yearly. If and I assume we still have 500 people with multiple accounts that buy 3 slots at the OP suggested one time price of $20 each, consolidate and close an account that would give BS a first year loss of $47,000 followed by a yearly loss of $77,000. No matter how it's pitched, it's just not a smart business move.
I would only consider a second or third account for the housing and storage. So this idea is no loss of money from me.
Also you are assuming every player stays for a full year. Doubt that's reality. It's better to make them spent money as early as possible, because tommorrow they can be gone.
Pretty much every AAA title these days is heavily focused on micro-transactions, not going to start this 2015 discussions when in in 2019 we can clearly see which models are the preferred by game studios. Do I like it? No. But I'm not in denial at least.
I know my second one was because of BODs and I opened a third cause of too much holiday deco... I gotta deco and I like to move it around for the holidays... make it a lil different and spread the holiday cheer.
Adding a couple more chars, would make it more playable for the shard I am on.
My second account was for storage. But I am finding the additional characters helpful such as if I forget something while doing a trade run I can have a second account character bring it to me of check prices on Atl when there is something similar on sale on Pacific.
The newer generation. They only have a samp and a tamer. No need for crafters. No idea how fun it is to be able to play any aspect of the game at a whim.
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo

I didn't say you could get it first try.
My present best in use is
3 mana regen
2 Stamina regen
190 luck
4% lmc
15 %lmc
I would have gone higher but it fits a 70 suit with 30 mana regen and 20 LRC on a Tamer Bard.
Edit. Rereading I should have said yes I regularly get 4 mana regen when that's what I'm trying for and often melt them down again when they don't roll what else I want.
My best is this:
Mage stuff drops often. Its not easy to find Studded Dex stuff with mana regen.
For example if I was trying for 4 Mana regens I would lesser reforge with only one named prefix "invigorating/of restoration" or "mystic/Sorcery" with the idea of imbuing it after. I don't know if the mechanics back me up but it seems the more powerful you try to reforge it the more the power gets spread out. Many lower power rather than one full power.
In the case of your tunic I would try with as low a runic tool power as I feel would do the job and then add the rest with imbuing. Technically it would be less powerful the a found legendary item but it would be what I want.
Then enhance with coloured leather.
If I could only remember to powder it before imbuing I wouldn't have to do it so often.
For me I have many great developed characters marooned on shards I dropped homes on, as over the years the many shards I play my lists got full. So where to send them? I would pay to add the second page to the log in.
