What I can tell you now, is that we know there is a solid demand for some players to be able to go above 22. Our team is very actively looking into whether or not we would be able to make this increase. Certainly, we want to offer you as many character slots as possible, but we have to make sure it won't impact your game performance as well. Caveat as usual, this isn't confirmation it will happen, but we are looking into it and I will give you any updates as I have them!



TLDR - That the cap is in place to guard from performance issues but we are actively interested in, and investigating, increasing that cap if we can.

But yeh, I have 21 characters right now, the most I ever had in any game and I still want more, especially with races like the Togruta coming as playable race.



Oh a Hoth Stronghold is also a great idea, but I digress....



So thanks for letting us know that you are trying to make this work, it certainly will make me a happy camper if I can make more characters. Thanks Eric. I am one of those people who would be grateful if you could expand the limit, but yeh, I understand that there are technical issues involved. I don't understand how and why exactly from my limited view as I am not a programmer but we got 16 man gf ops that don't crash the server anymore so clearly you guys are finding solutions for things. I see that as encouraging.But yeh, I have 21 characters right now, the most I ever had in any game and I still want more, especially with races like the Togruta coming as playable race.Oh a Hoth Stronghold is also a great idea, but I digress....So thanks for letting us know that you are trying to make this work, it certainly will make me a happy camper if I can make more characters.
