Server issues and general client stability aside, I’ve been enjoying my time with D2R. However, my biggest groan about D2R is when I heard about the 20 character creation limit per account. This is just far too limiting for a game like this. Just do the math. 7 characters each with several builds capable of clearing hell, pvp, hardcore, softcore, ladder, non-ladder, classic, etc. I’m not even talking about mules and people trying to go for a holy grail, but hey it would be nice to go for that as well! Is there anything in the pipeline to address this? Because come ladder time this 20 character limit is going to suck even more than it does now.

20 Characters will be fine, trust me, they will just do rollback over rollback, so you are not able to finish the game with 4 characters or more.

no -16 more characters required
?
we are talking about this absurd forum chractcer limit yeah?
The game needs at least 50 characters PER mode, Hardcore, Softcore, Classic and LoD, 200 max. It’d be cool if there was an actual mule character as well, because we all know people are still going to use mules. Make an actual mule character with 3 extra personal tabs.

Screw that “mule” characters. Just have enough and big enough stash tabs so you dont need to constantly relog.

Plugy is about storage. I’m saying for any long term player, especially if you branch into different modes and pvp, you don’t have enough character slots to play the game before you’re going to have to start deleting characters to make space.

I know, it’s just funny that they are the same arbitrary and dumb restirctions

A 50 character limit would be fine with me. That’s the limit on WoW and seems like a good even number to work with. With 20 characters I have one of each build I play and 3 mules. Not enough for all the characters I like to make though, and not enough for different game modes.

I won’t even be able to play ladder, nor hardcore, nor make low level PvP characters, or any off meta builds, or classic characters, because I’m already at the 20 character limit. One character each makes 7, and 13 mules all with useful and valuable stuff (pgems runes socket bases uniques sets charms keys essences jewels etc). Hell, I’m about at the point I can’t even farm/MF anymore because I’d be leaving too much good stuff on the ground. Though of course I’m already at the point I just give away a lot of stuff I’d otherwise rather keep, not to mention runes I can’t even pick up because I already have too many, and yes I cube them too. I can’t even collect other useful things such as chipped or flawed gems either because something’s gotta give, I simply don’t have the space anymore. Going from infinite characters (and by extension infinite stash) to 20 characters and limited stash, has been…highly disappointing to say the least. 50 characters at least, bare minimum, though ideally more like 100. While I believe these increases should be free, I wouldn’t have much qualms with paying for more provided the price is reasonable. As it stands, 20 more characters, is 40 dollars. How about instead of having people buy multiple copies of the game and having to juggle multiple accounts, just let the people who want more characters, buy the slots, straight up. I’m as old school and real a D2 player as there is, and I’d be 100% fine with this (though again, they should bump up the base amount of characters we get for free first). Let the people who want to play enjoy and support D2, play enjoy and support D2. Thanks.

Tha lack of space is absolutely ridiculous. A huge step back from the original.
it makes you to go play another game.

20 is actually very generous, and more than most games allow. Even subscription based games that have constant revenue to cover the server costs typically allow less characters.
The real solution is to create more shared stash space so that people don’t need to make characters just to hold items.
That’s a pretty funny argument considering we actually have more space than the original game has.
theoretically not with the character limit 
(but he’s right, people must forget that even the stash tab has increased to 10x10 from 6x8)
My vote for 7 characters per class + mules (or way more stashtabs).

No we have not. We had UNLIMITED space both for items and characters in old diablo2. We have not here.
