Turbine Community Specialist Tolero announced today in the official DDO forums that Module 8 will include another character slot, as well as making all character slots available from the get-go rather than unlocking them. Players will still have to unlock the Drow race and the 32-point build, but all 10 character slots will be available upon Module 8′s arrival.

As a special thanks to our players, we’re pleased to announce that for Module 8, we are increasing the total number of character slots available to players from 9 to 10! Additionally, players will no longer need to “unlock” character slots – all players will start the game with 10 character slots provided. Players will still need to use the Favor system in order to have access to the Drow race and the 32 point character build choices to use with their 10 slots.

Please be advised that any player with more characters than 10 from server merges, character transfers, etc. will need to delete down to the 10th slot in order to make a new character if they so desire. If you have more than 10 characters, we will not remove these excess characters, but you won’t be able to create a new character, as you’ve already consumed 10 slots with the excess characters.

Using Premium Services, players are able to transfer characters onto a server even if they have 10 characters already – the transferred characters will be added to the total number of characters. However, if a player transfers a character from another server using our Premium Service feature to a server on which the player has less than 10 characters, it will consume one of their 10 provided character slots.

Great news for DDO and hopefully LOTRO players will be hearing similar news, since the Mines of Moria expansion is introducing two new classes and there are already more classes in the Shadows of Angmar game than available character slots.
