The new character slots in World of Warcraft are missed. When will the additional slots be available?
Since last night (30.01.2018), players of World of Warcraft can pre-order the next expansion. Those who buy Battle for Azeroth in advance can take advantage of a character boost and already play the questlines of the allied races. Afterwards, the thought naturally arises to create one of the new characters and level up fresh from level 20 to experience the scaling world from Patch 7.3.5.
However, some players might already be at their limit regarding character slots. After all, only 12 characters can be created per account per server.
At BlizzCon 2017, the developers promised that with Battle for Azeroth, there will be a total of 6 new character slots per server – but they are still missing.
4 new character slots “in just a few days”
In the “Developer Q&A” livestream, Ion Hazzikostas, the Game Director of World of Warcraft, already revealed that fans do not have to wait until the release of the expansion in the summer.
In the coming days, they plan to update the servers and the game so that all players will receive 4 additional character slots per server!
The 4 additional character slots are available regardless of whether Battle for Azeroth has been pre-ordered or not – they will be unlocked for all players.
Hazzikostas did not mention a specific date, but it should happen “in the next few days.” With a bit of luck, leveling new characters can already begin on the weekend.
Whether there will be 2 more slots with the release of Patch 8.0 and the start of Battle for Azeroth remains to be seen.
Are you already looking forward to the allied races and the new char slots? Or do you not have that many characters and don’t need the slots?
