EverQuest II is a big game with lots of content and features. One of the ways players can explore the many facets of the world of Norrath is by trying out various race/class combinations. Seeing the game through the eyes of a wood elf Paladin who lives in Qeynos is a lot different than playing as an ogre Coercer from Freeport. Additionally, some players like to create characters on mulitple servers so they can adventure alongside friends that might not all reside in the same game world.
Since launch, EverQuest II subscribers have had four character slots that can be used to try out multiple characters. Many of you have said that four slots just isn't enough to play the game all the ways you'd like to play it, and we've listened to your feedback. That's why we're pleased to announce that we will soon be giving all our EverQuest II subscribers two additional character slots. Subscribing to EverQuest II will provide a total of six character slots, while our Station Access subscribers will have a total of ten slots.
With these additional character slots, you can experience the world of EverQuest II more ways than ever before. Players on our Test server will receive these additional slots when they being testing Live Update #5 during the week of March 14. Players on our live servers will get the new slots when the update moves to the live servers during the week of March 21.
Thanks for playing EverQuest II and for providing feedback that helps us continue to improve the game.
