Public account

Does making your account public still give you an extra character slot?

I believe so, yes.

Hi,
I made my profile public a while ago, but I haven't recieved the option of another character.
Do I have to wait for a certain time period till I get the option of creating a new character?

I didn't when I made my information public. Of course, that was 2007/2008...

how long have you had your account? What is your fame?

I doubt making your account public makes any difference now.  Feel free to prove me wrong.

Oh, well it did when I joined in 2008. *shrug*

Yeah, but the system changed now. My Public Info is still locked at yes for playing more then 2 characters though, so not entirely sure how it works now (Not that I want to make my info private, but still). Shooting in the dark, but perhaps it won't let you play your third character without making your info public once it's unlocked? I wouldn't know, honestly, and be good to get checked. It might just as well have no effect any more.

Wasn't there a bug which caused the game not to "remember" that you changed your info to public in order to gain that extra slot? Or maybe I misunderstood what that bug was all about...

Also not sure if the new character limit considers this or not. I have no reason to believe it doesn't, however, save for the comments that precede mine that seem to believe otherwise.

I have seen people with three characters who do not have it revealed (due to the new character system I suspect - if they then revealed it, would they get the extra char and have it locked?).

It would be interesting to have someone test it and find out conclusively.

I believe that's what Kmap did. He had three characters with his info private, made his info public, didn't get an extra character and now, I assume, he can't make his info private again if he wanted.

Making your information public gives you an additional slot--you can earn others in different ways. Perhaps there is a bug in changing your mind about it.

Are you sure it gives you an additional slot? ;)
