After the Battle Royale mode Plunderstorm, the next experiment for World of Warcraft is on the agenda for May 2024. To ensure that you have enough character slots available for the time-limited leveling event around Mists of Pandaria, Blizzard is fulfilling a frequently stated request from the community.
What kind of event is planned for WoW? Just under a week after the release of WoW patch 10.2.7, WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria will launch. This is a time-limited event where you can level up with freshly created level 10 characters throughout the entire Pandaren expansion.
The accelerated leveling experience at level 70 also includes the dungeons and raids of Mists of Pandaria – including the Throne of Thunder and the iconic Battle for Orgrimmar.
You can master these thanks to customizable gear that is meant to significantly strengthen your alter ego. Additionally, you can earn fresh rewards and loot across all MoP content – including transmogs, mounts, and special achievements that will become feats of strength after the event.
In WoW: The War Within, your characters form a warband on a server:
What request came from the community? It may be hard to believe, but there are many WoW players who, after nearly 20 years, are hitting the maximum limit of 60 characters per account. These “multi-twinkers” would thus need to delete an Azeroth adventurer first to participate in Remix: Mists of Pandaria.
Accordingly, we often read after the announcement of the event on Reddit, in the official forum, and on social media players’ requests for Blizzard to raise the maximum number of characters that can be created.
Blizzard and the Patch Notes
And what is Blizzard doing? Well, the developers even included a side note in the first version of the official announcement of the event, in which there was already mention of an increase in character slots. However, this sentence disappeared with a later update from Blizzard.
Accordingly, players who noticed this were quite confused in the official WoW forum. Is the increase coming: Yes, no, maybe?! A few hours ago, Community Manager Kaivax finally provided clarity:
“With the patch Dark Heart, we will raise the maximum number of characters you can create on a WoW account from 60 to 65.”
Many players are celebrating this announcement. However, there are also a few who point out that five additional character slots might be too few in light of the upcoming expansion The War Within. What are your thoughts on this? Are you looking forward to the adjusted journey through Pandaria? Let us know in the comments!
