The cap has been 50 since day one, I would think it would at the very least be 55-60 by now. Honestly I wouldnāt mind seeing 75 with how many expansions and new races and race/class combos we have gotten.
My suggestion is always 400
Why?
You can have 8 Wow licenses on your battle.net account, 8 * 50 character cap = 400. So instead of having a per license cap youād have a max possible character pool that you can draw from.
āDonāt tell me the legitimate reason because I like to live in a fantasy land where computers have infinite memory spaceā. Name hoarders and whatnot are a good reason too. I can guarantee you are not playing 50 characters regularly, why would you need more?
I really wish this was an option. Preferably just a one off payment to increase it, but hell, Iād probably even go for a slight bump in my sub cost. I know that they effectively have that now by way of creating a second wow account under your bnet header account. But for one thatās expensive. But mostly it just seems like a real hassle to have to swap between like that.
Thereās a problem with this theory Tovi, you donāt need to have an active subscription in order to create new characters. So all of you can just make new Wow starter accounts (that you donāt have to pay for) and then make characters and hoard names.
All the character names in a Battle.net account automatically become available after the Battle.net account remained inactive for two expansions.
Thatās quite a bit of time And then once that time is up they can just remake the characters and start hoarding again. A four year window doesnāt seem like much of a threat in my book
You know what I am curious about though? It says āthe Battle.net account remained inactive for two expansions.ā, you would think that means āyou havenāt played Wow in 2 xpacsā but it doesnāt say that it says the BNet account was inactive, so does that mean if you just play CoD the names are never released?
Iām sure it means a sub and yes you can just keep rehoarding if you remember to do it. I think you would have to know when your four years starts/stops.
Anyways, I didnāt say it would stop it, I said it limits the name hoarding. Regardless they need to give us more options when it comes to names. Even typing gibberish on a locked realm gets āthat name is taken.ā
If they would implement a last naming convention it would fix the problemā¦the game has needed this for almost the entirety of itās existence so iām not holding my breath.
So the only reason people are against this is because of naming issues.
Iam not asking for infinity character creation just a increase in the silly 50 cap. Like i said iam willing to pay for it.
As for the usual āwell why do you need more than 50 charā garbage i ask this why do you need 700 plus mounts? I want this cause i enjoy the aesthetics of creating a character and making it look cool. Isnt that the point of this game?
