Is there really a continual cost on this storage? So SoE has been paying every month for characters on accounts that were created 5 years ago and never played again? I think they would have purged characters by now if they were paying monthly for well over a million unplayed characters on inactive accounts.Check out all the other games with this feature available. I don't know of any other game charges a recurring cost for extra characters. DDO charges about 6 bucks each like I said, but no subscription required, so I could pay 6 bucks per character, up to like 30-40 characters per account, per server, and permanently have that character slot for as long as DDO keeps going without paying Turbine another dime. In fact you can pay about 200 dollars and permanently unlock the entire game for play, no recurring subscription.
