How many character slots should there be?

Fox Malkaris · 03-28-2006, 01:31 PM

As the title suggests how many slots should there be on a single account.

Horranus · 03-28-2006, 01:32 PM

One for each race.

Fox Malkaris · 03-28-2006, 01:36 PM

I think that 1 to 2 is good. I like to keep the number down as it cuts out alot of the clan/guild spies or inactive peeps who decide just to leave them in. I think it also takes attention off of your "primary dude". I like the idea of a second slot for a tradeskiller or experimenter.

Lord Amon · 03-28-2006, 01:43 PM

i choose one, that way you can completely concentrate on that character and focus on leveling him/her up as high as they can go instead of keep creating new people. And also to stop people spying on other clans and guilds etc. etc. etc.

Horranus · 03-28-2006, 01:45 PM

Good point, but could there not be a system in which once a username has already joined a guild/clan that username's characters could not join a guild labled as "rival" or "enemy"?

Anyway, I think there should be one for each race because I get mad when I fill my slots and I have to delete one to try another race. And I meant that one for each race means you can't have like 3 different Goa'uld characters or something like that, just one for Tau'ri, one for Goa'uld, one for Jaffa...

SogPig · 03-28-2006, 01:45 PM

1 or 2 in the same faction (if there are factions)

My sentiments exactly. There should only be 1 or 2 characters per server per account. I also think it would cut down on faction chat spying. Ex. your a goa'uld but spying on the Tauri channel.

The marketing department might like the 1 to 2 peeps idea as it would be an incentive to many players to buy a 2nd or 3rd account.

Bunter · 03-28-2006, 02:11 PM

i agree that faction spying should be cut out. so why not only allow you to only have characters on one faction on every server, eg if you have an SGC character on server 1, you cant have a goa'uld on the same server. thats what a lot of MMOs do already.

I agree with this and should have been more clear with my original post. "1 or2 of the same faction per server"

stargater · 03-28-2006, 02:18 PM

Give me an infinite amount of slots as far as im concerned if I want to focus on just one char then I will if not I want to try to play many different ones dont force me into something I dont want to do. shoot maybe im ######## and want to play each different race all the way to the max level.

I really hated in guild wars where they limited my account to just 4 characters. There is just no leeway to play around with new chars.

ok then, if i'd have known that then I'd have voted for 3 probably

TomedNor · 03-28-2006, 02:41 PM

I think only two. However, I'd also like to see some sort of system to drop skills and learn new ones.

stargater · 03-28-2006, 02:43 PM

What is the purpose of limiting it?

The only reason I have read is the whole spy thing on the other faction so if that is the case make sure you can only be good on one server and if you want to be bad you have to go to a different server.

Oh I guess another reason is running out of names but if you just make us use first and last names then that will run out alot less.

Dont you guys want to try every profesion and class with every type of race? PLEASE dont limit me I want to experiance all of this game without being forced to buy another account.

Spying is supposed too be a big part of the Stargate Cannon so all i can say is accept it it is a part of this world

True, but there should be other means of spying. Not the kind where you get tired of getting beat by the other faction so you decide to hop on over and join them by giving up the others who decided to stay and fight, not give up. Planetside has a good system in that they let you play all three factions now but there is an 8 hour (I think) lockout before you can play another side.

Sigfreid Anthelia · 03-28-2006, 05:54 PM

lol but by factions in this game their will be several i think and they wont be defined by race cause their is Symbiotes, Humans, Jaffa, Unas on all sides theirfore i beleive factions will be a more guild based thing

Frunk · 03-28-2006, 07:09 PM

All spying should be done INGAME with your own character. You should have to infiltrate the enemy hq like Solid Snake or Sam Fisher, not hop characters and copy-paste the chat window.

As for the amount of character slots, I belive it is too early to debate over that. I would personally go for two per server.

Sigfreid Anthelia · 03-28-2006, 07:11 PM

2is not enough imo i love playing many different char types each helping the otehr level

Frunk · 03-28-2006, 07:16 PM

Then go to a different server. One person shouldn't be able to do everything across his mules. Have a real economy.

Sigfreid Anthelia · 03-28-2006, 07:35 PM

im not talking doin everythin i just want to be ale to get the lvling out the way as pain free as possible

SogPig · 03-28-2006, 07:41 PM

We dont even know what leveling is going to be like yet. Now on the topic of having many toons on one account.....yall have to remember that this is a business. Companies want to make money. Offering many many toons per account isn't really economically practical.

Spaceman · 03-28-2006, 07:57 PM

One slot is all we need. Makes you keep playing your charatcer till you finish acheiving all he\she goals. IMHO!

Sigfreid Anthelia · 03-28-2006, 07:59 PM

but if you have many slots you can still only play one cahr and it doesnt force you too delete all your effort if you want a change of pace
