Default Important Information Regarding Character Slots
As a special thanks to our players, we're pleased to announce that for Module 8, we are increasing the total number of character slots available to players from 9 to 10! Additionally, players will no longer need to “unlock” character slots – all players will start the game with 10 character slots provided. Players will still need to use the Favor system in order to have access to the Drow race and the 32 point character build choices to use with their 10 slots.

Please be advised that any player with more characters than 10 from server merges, character transfers, etc. will need to delete down to the 10th slot in order to make a new character if they so desire. If you have more than 10 characters, we will not remove these excess characters, but you won't be able to create a new character, as you've already consumed 10 slots with the excess characters.

Using Premium Services, players are able to transfer characters onto a server even if they have 10 characters already - the transferred characters will be added to the total number of characters. However, if a player transfers a character from another server using our Premium Service feature to a server on which the player has less than 10 characters, it will consume one of their 10 provided character slots.

We'd like to thank all our players for playing Dungeons & Dragons Online, and look forward to the excitement of Module 8!

Interesting workaround.

Thumbs down Boooo!
Those victims of the server merge still lose.

No new characters slots and , more importantly no way to reroll ONE character
without deleting MULTIPLE Characters.

Boooo

Yeah, it's troublesome to get the first one, as you have to transfer a 1750 favor character to that server (or grind it on that server) but overall it is good news.

A "great start" would have been several months ago. At this point in the game, adding one character slot is downright insulting.

Of course, by this point, I'm tickled pink that they even took the time to let us know...

I imagine there was some kind of technical hurdle that had to be overcome. Looks like it is gone, and hopefully they built the fix to allow further expansion past the standard of 10. given that they bumped everyone to 10 it looks like they were having issues getting the add new slot slot at given point function to work properly, so they just trashed it and went with 10 for everyone, regardless of favor

wait so you're saying as long as we paid for it, we could have like 10 toons + 1000000 stash toons from other servers? just on the extreme end since 1000000 x character_transfer_price would be the cost

now I'm tempted to go get 32 point on ghallanda or something and then create my "new toons" there just to pay for a transfer. tolero, would this be legit?

xfer one of your current 32-ptrs to Ghallanda, then make the new ones there and xfer them back over ..

Kind of costly, but it would work.

For me, this means +3 characters on my primary server! since I broke down and picked up a second account this summer and have managed to fill all of those slots up with little drow and 28-pointers..

Yeah, my bad.

I have the benefit here of being a casual playing newbie.

I haven't even got my main, my level 12 rogue to 1750 favor yet much less maxed out many characters like lots of players here.

So once again - my bad.

But more is better, right?

Yes, they should have taken a count of customers with active characters on multiple servers before the server merge was announced, and issued those people some free transfer coupons so they could shuffle characters around instead of being stuck over the limit. (Thus, a person with 9 characters each on Riedra and Aundair could have moved them to Argonessen and Khyber, instead of all of them being forced to Khyber)
