How many per server?

[Glass]

So I've been looking around the net for the number of characters per server and can't seem to find the answer anywhere and was wondering if anyone knew.

We've just been told 8 characters per account for now. Note that is not 8 characters per server, just 8 characters total.

including Beta?? or test??

Eight characters total is not a good thing imo. it should be eight characters per server.

[Kyle Sinton]

If you play more then 8 characters you'd never accomplish anything. I think 8 is plenty, Then again there's those reroll addicts!

I disagree. We should at least have the option there because there are more than eight classes and more than one sphere. Trust me when I say there will be some who fills up all their character slots and then they complain because SOE (I take it it's down to SOE since they are the ones dealing with servers? Or is it Sigil?) is too tight-fisted... and I wouldn't blame them for creating a stink about it.

Look at EQLive, they had something like eight characters per server and leveling took longer in that game than it did in WoW for example. I reckon this is just another way of squeezing out more money from people... like in EQ2 one had to buy SA to get more character slots.

All in all, I think we will be paying enough to play so why not just give us more than eight characters total so that we at least have the option of having lots of alts if we wish? I mean even if they said, "right you get four characters per server", I would prefer that to just having a limit of eight characters total.

I'm really dissapointed to hear this, mostly because Sigil did such a good job with this game. They've such done a brilliant job of making the individual classes so unique, with different ways of playing them and all, that it's a crying shame to only be able to try a few of them.

I was personally hoping to make characters on four servers, but will probably have to drop either PVP or Roleplay now (not my preferred styles of play, but I do like them on occasion) and stick to monotiny. It's either that, or live without as many crafting options or intercontinental presence.

Seriously?I played on Beta 1 and the PvP server and it let me make 8 per server. Hmmm.

They've said all along that the limits in beta would change once the game went live. I think it was just so we could test as many things as possible.

Only thing we know is it 8 chars whether its per server good question. But I believe 8 chars is enghough , I agree that most would not accomplish that much by having more than 8 chars. 8 hrs a day gameplay is only 1 hr per char. I plan on having 2 char's on each continent, all different classes and all
different races. I will focus one 1 or 2 untill the dust settles.
I wish you all a happy advenure
