Yes there are a few of us. Blizz, 50 is not enough. for some reason I only have 47, but when I try to create another it says i’m at my limit. With all the Allied races we NEED more slots please!

Ya, I’ve been asking for a while. I leveled my last 120 around Thanksgiving last year. 50 120s and I can’t make a vulpera unless I want to delete something.
It’s just something they don’t care about as it’s been a discussion on these forums for at least 2 or 3 expansions.

Fifty is more than enough. What else do you do with your time? Anything? At all?

I get that the idea is that they want us to pay for a second account, and they probably feel it’s good enough because you can link them to the same battlenet. But I would still rather just have more slots under the one account. I’d happily pay for another 50.

This is what I think too. Every time I see these threads I just think it is so crazy that people have 50 characters, even more crazy that some people have whole different accounts just to feed their alt hoarding addiction. I am well aware this particular case is basically “different strokes for different folks” but wow. I have one character for each class and Allied Race in this game, and I am not even close to reaching the character account cap.

Fifty is beyond generous. Go to any other MMO and the cap is between six and twelve toons on average. No other game offers even close to fifty.

It’s an old game. A lot of people have played for a very long time. It’s a lot of time to make alts.

This is true. Lots and lots of time to make alts with “sentimental value”, though that has different definitions for some people.

I have to say I am a bit amazed at some of you with 50 different characters. That is just crazy to me, how the hell do you manage to juggle that many?
Some of us have two accounts and still have no room for the next allied race.

I’m sitting on nearly 30 characters, with the majority of them level 110+. I leveled them just to have them, but I rarely (if ever) use them.
50 seems very generous, but I guess some players feel the need to just level, level, level until they run out of space.

Didn’t blizz day a while ago that if people can show they legitimately play 50 toons they’d look into increasing it
Having level cap doesn’t mean you play them btw
No, that was a green who had no authority and was not interested when people surprised him by actually showing they were playing so many at once.

Data nerd here. Did you know that if you want one of every race / class / faction combo, you are looking at 202 total characters, with the release of Vulpera and Mechagnome? This is considering Alliance and Horde Pandaren separately. That’s now five total accounts you would need.
I know I’m in the minority, but I was one of the ones who responded to Ion when he asked (paraphrasing), “How many people could actually have that many characters?” To date, I have 127 total characters, ranging from 18 to 120. Yes, that means I have three accounts. That also means that I need a system to manage them, which I use an Access database and Excel for all of my online RPG characters.
Other MMOs do allow more, namely Star Wars: The Old Republic (limit per server, but account is well over 50. I should know), and the late City of Heroes, among others.

I forgot today was the start of timewalking week 
That will show 45 characters
It says 42 120s but it’s 44. 1 120 I deleted to make room for an allied race, 1 I transferred to another account. Going to transfer another toon to my second account so I can undelete that 120 but currently active on this account
42 120s
1 80 (For Herald of the Titans FoS, then will go to 120)
1 110 twink
4 allied races I’m leveling now @37,58,44,54
68 Pally 86 warrior I restored from another account to be leveled after AR
I used to want a higher cap as well, but since that’s looking unlikely I’m looking into 5boxxing 
Then I can split my army up across 5 accounts and have a 250 cap 
Yes please. When you play for 15 years the alts really pile up, especially when new race/class combos keep getting added! I’ve been at cap for a while now and have to delete alts to create new ones, which sucks because I ran out of alts I truly do not care about a long time ago and there’s no telling if the newly created alt will stick.

Almost all of them aren’t max level and are mainly played to scratch leveling itches. I don’t see much point in having more than 3-5 characters at cap.

Not all are max level. Not all are used to do current content. Not all are on the same server or faction.
This has nothing to do with time spent and everything to do with having availability.
This isn’t some sort of mental issue. Fifteen years of roleplaying and other things across different servers collects many characters for many different reasons. Let’s not insult people over things others aren’t willing to understand.
Because not all are played at the same time. Nor are all of them max level for some people. Nor do they all run the same content. Some are sentimental. Some are for specific play types with different friends. There’s a myriad of reasons.
Or I guess some people feel the need to have different characters at different levels for different reasons and different play styles.

It is just hard for me to really understand. I mean I could imagine that for many of them you might not even play them for months. It is just odd to me to have that many characters, knowing most of them don;t actually get played much at all.
It’s not a dig at people, I just have a hard enough time working on 3 max level characters. I couldn’t imagine trying to juggle a full roster of 50 is all

It’s also easy to forget that at one point it was more practical to have per-spec characters (e.g. George is an arms warrior while Joebob is a prot warrior) than to swap specs on one character. Several of my alts are products of that, and while multispeccing is “easier” now (in quotes due to the azerite/essence nonsense) it feels weird to play those characters as anything but what they were rolled as.
