Character question

[TG_NightHawk]

Ok, you get 4 characters per account correct? If so, someone told me that you could create 4 TR's on one server & have 4 diff. characters on another empire(such as VS on another server).
If I understood it correctly, you could only have 4 characters on ONE Empire....correct?:confused:

With your account you can have up to 4 characters on one server. All your characters on a server must be of the same faction.

Then there is the question about characters on multiple servers.

I was under the impression that you could concieveble have 4 more characters on each server, with the option of having those characters in a different faction on each server. The IGN article suggest that one account won't necessarily allow you to have characters on multiple servers.

I am guessing that this is a decision that SOE has yet to make.

So for now you can count on having atleast 4 characters on one server and they will all be of the same faction.

Moving thread to game discussion ;)

I'm sure you can only have 4 characters on one facton/empire per account....
Anyway, One of the biggest complaints I'm hearing is the pay-to-play issue. It is like these people think they can get something for nothing! I went on to tell them that it will go towards maintaining servers, bug fixes, etc. One person was even suggestion that they include it in the price of the game:rofl:
Right! That is like saying you are going to buy this car and you want all mechanical and oil changes included in the sale. I think it will seperate the wannabes from the more serious players!!:D

4 characters per server (all one empire)

3 servers in US

so you could have:
-4 chars each from TR, VS, NC
-12 TR chars
-8 VS chars and 4 NC chars

etc.

Do you guys know if there will be European servers?
And will European players have to buy some crapy Euro-version of the game so they can't play on US servers?

Me = Vanu soldier :D

Going to be a server in the UK so your all set.

[afex]

have they confirmed the uk server yet?

i dont think they have.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Are the servers completely seperate from eachother or do they overlap in game? Like east coast playing with west coast and what not.

[afex]

all servers are individual.

seperate games going on.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

So basically if you want other people from say the east coast to play with you or vice versa they would need to play with a higher ping.

[afex]

to play together, you'd have to play on the same server.

Ok so it's basically like Battlenet.

I am about 90% sure they said there was going to be 3 in the US, and 1 in the UK, and later maybe the Pacifc Rim, and Austraila. The answer is in the IRC dev chat somewhere, but I don't want to look it up.
