They just added new character slots within the last 6 months and I don't think they intend on adding more right away.
Yep it is all about the mighty $$.
They know by now the altaholics all have 6 filled slots. They also know the same altaholics will want to play a Sarnak just to try the new newbie content.
They are going to wait it out to see how many they can get to drop $$ to buy a new slot.
You do know we get 7 slots now... don't you?I can't find the link (have a horrible suspicion it was an Allakazam interview, or even worse, buried in a report of an interview at fan faire) but there is a technical limitation caused by the present launchpad program (i.e. not everquest itself).The launchpad belongs to a different branch of SoE and therefore not easily upgraded to cope.
Bah so my counting was off but my point is still the same. Basic math challenges me!
