REJECTED: Changing character limits

[DamnTaffer]

Exactly. The game is short of PLAYERS, not characters.

No, it is short of both, though a shortness of characters is fixable whereas a shortness of players will only change with luck and time.

Giving people more characters will only make the game even MORE of an in-group thing, because fewer people control more of it. We want new players and we want them to stay and that doesn't work out if everything is in the hands of a few hardcore players and their 20 characters each.

[Gustav Kuriga]

Then make it one noble per continent.

[Chenier]

You raised the max ammount of nobles you could have ...as an old player by like... 1 and lowered the ammount new players could have to two, this was a terrible choice... Utterly terrible the game needed new players and you restricted their access to nobles.

New players who didn't donate and didn't make their accounts public could only have 2 characters. I don't think this has changed?

[DamnTaffer]

Nope. It changed

Public Info?  yes (locked at yes as long as you play more than 2 characters)

Pasted from my account. I have two nobles and an adventurer on my new account and I can't have a third noble as I could for making my information public like I could do a few years ago.

Then why did you remove the option for a new player to create a third noble when they joined? Or even a returning player whom makes a new family. THis most certainly does not make the game more accessable to new players

[Chenier]

I like my privileges, but I can see how restricting max noble character count for newbies might be counterproductive.

Well it forces them to have an adventurer if they want a third character which is okay... I guess but even then, surely its better to have a seperate adventurer count since they'll pretty much always play second fiddle to nobles because of how shallow there game is

"More" happens with adventurers, though, with gold and skill scaling as well as hunting/rest management.

Yeah, but its just stats and numbers unless you like roleplaying slaying monsters... over and over... there is not much roleplay to it. Adventurers tend to not talk amongst themselves and nobles tend to be scornful until they are buying something from you. It plays completely different to nobles and given the choice between 3 nobles and two nobles and an adventurer I don't know many whom would pick the adventurer

[Perth]

Then make it one noble per continent.

I like this idea.

I hate the two nobles on one continent; and two in one realm is even worse.

[Penchant]

I would like to make that a perk for older players if this is implemented. Older players are better at separating their characters so its not the same views, professions, etc with all the different characters. There are older players that I trust to roleplay properly with multiple characters in same island or even realm.

[Indirik]

So far as I'm concerned, account age has no correlation with ability to separate characters. Some of the oldest accounts are actually the worst.

I can't agree more with Indirik on this one...

[DamnTaffer]

I can't agree more with Indirik on this one...

Yeah... And putting the limit at one per continent forces and encourages a player to experience more of the game

[Zakilevo]

There are people who do not wish to play on certain continents like me though.
