Amount of characters per server

Apologies if this the wrong forum.

I’m looking at returning to the game for the anniversary event (if what has been seen on various sites for the dragon mount is to be believed) and was wanting to create a few new characters on my realm before I get my new PC next year (I’m very particular to names for my characters). My question is, how many characters are allowed to be created per realm? With all the new races in the game I get confused easily about this.

I know that it is 50 characters overall across all servers, but does that cover classic as well?

Thank you for any responses and apologies again if this is in the wrong forum.

There used to be a limit for the number of characters per server. It was removed in the last year or so.

If you want, in retail you can have all 50 characters on the same server.

Classic has the old restrictions. 10 characters per server, with a total of 50 characters.

50 max for Classic and 50 max for retail. 10 per realm on Classic and I think all 50 can be on one realm now in retail.

Thank you for the replies, I really appreciate it.

It helps to know now that I don’t have to create characters on my realm’s sister server (or whatever the proper term is for connected realms) so I can make each class and race combo for lore purposes.

Again, many thanks :slight_smile:

I think Sister Server works just fine, I might have to start using that. :smiley:

last i heard it was up to 16 per server on retail/current wow/bFA 50 per wow account, regardless of number of servers. as for classic its 10 per server, and in relation to pvp servers only 1 factions allowed so if you have 1 ally toon already on a classic pvp no horde are allowed on it however they are allowed on another pvp server instead for example.

hope this helps.

It was already covered in the two replies prior to the one you quoted, but in 8.1.5 it was changed to allow all fifty on a single realm, if you so desired.

The limit on the number of characters that can be created on a realm has been removed. The account-wide character limit remains at 50.

The Character Limit increased since this post to 60 per account with up to 60 on one realm. :blush:

Yes, but this post was well and truly buried after 4 years before you necro’d it.
