Best news ever! Love you Blizzard <3
I was going to ask why there is a character limit to begin with. Someone answered it's about name poaching, which I didn't think of. At this point, I think there could be something implemented like the ID of battlenet names that allows you to have the same name with others. So speaking in /trade would be like : did someone say Thunderfury, blessed blade of the windseeker?
YES! Thank you for this! Breathing room!
At long last! This is the best blizzard news I've seen in years! I've been fully capped on max level toons on 2 accs and I want to be on every single realm, this makes it possible!
Son of a..... I was already planning on deleting two characters to create two Evokers, one for each side and leveling all 50 to cap.Now I'm just gonna be adding 10 more characters......Totally self-inflicted. :D
Double post
Oh, btw, the reason blizzard finally gave in and increased this a bit may not only have to do with the new race\class, but also with levelling becoming way quicker since SL the masses are starting to hit the account cap, not only those who purposefully level a lot of chars for mount farming etc., and when the masses hit a cap blizzard usually increases it, it's what happened with the 1 mil gold cap in wod too, so many people had it that they increased it to 10.
This is quite the welcoming and interesting change! I approve! I try to keep my character limit down as much as I can despite being an altoholic lol. Still though, I can imagine that this will even further be increased in the future when they add even more race/class combinations like opening up the Warlock, Monk, etc. Not only that but new allied races as well since Blizzard did say that they intend to add more later just not in this expansion due to wanting to focus on the Dracthyr. Either way, Looking forward to the prepatch and the expansion as a whole!
No clue how people feel the need to make 50 characters and moreso get attached to all 50.... its an addiction.... Completely unnecessary change but I guess it should have no affect on servers so whatever.
What's a pre-patch? You mean the pre-expansion patch, or 10.0.
This is good news for someone who has played since 2007 & has more than once reached cap (I had to delete one for DH too). Sadly I've already deleted 1 character to create a slot for an Evoker on my main's realm to reserve her name. Going forward, it does means I can keep all the 6 chars left on the realm my family's guild is on for sentimental reasons (my now grown-up sons no longer play). It also means I can delay server transferring more characters to fill out missing profession slots on the horde side. Though it's just added another 6 hours+ levelling time per character (what can I say, I'm a slow leveller!) to my already full pre-patch To Do list!
I love you so much Blizzard, have my babies!
Oh thank Elune, I’ve spent many hours trying to figure out what characters I am gong to have to delete and moving inventory about.
Thank you so much !
Yes yes yes yes...
That is awesome! I'm at my 50 characters limit, and I had to recently delete an old character to make space for a Drac'thyr. This gives so much more breathing room on my account!
