Bioware announced the character slots limits per server after the Server Merges are complete and United Forces update goes live on 8th November
Bioware announced the character slots limits per server after the Server Merges are complete and United Forces update goes live on 8th November. Here is the official message from community Manager Eric Musco.
One of the questions that has come up regarding United Forces is character slots and what will be happening for everyone. After the update, it is possible that a player could have more characters than they have slots currently. For subscribers they will still be able to play all of their characters (even if they go over their slots) but they can’t make any new characters. We wanted to do our best to alleviate some of the issues for not only subscribers, but F2P and preferred status players as well. Here is what you can expect to see changed on November 8 alongside United Forces:
- F2P players will have a default of 4 characters per server (up from 2)
- Preferred players will have a default of 12 characters per server(up from 6)
- Subscribers will have a default of 24 characters per server (up from 12)
- The maximum character slots per server has been increased to 100 (up from 52)
These new slot numbers are separate from any character slots which you have purchased. For subs, we are basically adding 12 character slots per server to your account (by making the new default 24 instead of 12). Ex:
- Today, you are a subscriber who has never bought any character slots, you have 12 character slots per server. After the update on 11/8 you will have 24 slots per server.
- Today, you are a subscriber who has purchased 30 additional character slots, meaning you have 42 per server (12 default + 30 purchased). After the update you will have 54 (24 new default + 30 purchased slots)
This should give a bit of breathing room for players, especially if they played on more than one server which will be brought into a new server on 11/8.
What this means is that absolutely nobody will lose their characters. Nothing will be deleted. If you are a Subscriber, you get to keep and play all of your current characters. If you are Preferred or F2P, you will have all of your alts locked with only 4 available and active. The locked ones will still be there, waiting for you to unlock them to become active once again.
