Not really 18.4 related but I really don't know where to put it, since it's a question I don't think it belongs in the Game Suggestion forums.
I think there has been talks about adding so that players can have more characters on each dimension, when DNW went down I had to leave a couple of characters behind, because I have no room on either RK1 or 2. I had to delete a 160ish crat on RK1 with ICRT and IRT for my DNW crat that also had said nanos.
I'm an alt whore, I love making new projects and I don't have any more room on either RK1 or 2, so I'm left with having to delete characters that I have already spent a lot of time on. I currently have four accounts that are paid (yes four!), but I can really only afford to keep two of them active at a given time, I have moved some characters from those 2 inactive accounts to my active accounts (at the loss of having to delete even more characters).
So my question would be, how hard would it be for the development team to increase the amount of characters a player can have on their account? I doubt the loss of subscribed accounts would go down by a lot considering that AO is best played dual logged, I know I'm not the only one who loves making new alts, and at times that's what I enjoy the most in AO.
Notice that the question isn't "are you going to?" or "can it be done?", it's purely related to how much time and how hard it would be for the development team to increase the amount. I also fully understand that all work time is spent on the engine, rebalance and fixing stuff that needs to be fixed.
I hope I get an answer :P
