Here's an idea for FunCom to help them generate more money and keep long time players like me happy:
I NEED MORE CHARACTERS!!!! 8 per server is just not enough. I need 12 per server. Here's my suggestion though:
Every account gets a standard of 8 characters per account. From the 'My Account' page, you can add additional characters. Each character added will cost an extra $0.50 USD per month.
So I would like to add just 4 characters (not buy another account for myself). This means you get to raise my $10/mo. to $12/mo and I will still only play just as much as I did before (no bandwidth increase). The only difference for me is that I get to have more characters. This will only make for a small increase in size per account to store the extra characters but shouldn't be that big of a deal.
Hell...charge [$1 (USD) per char per month] above 8 if ya want...no more than that or I won't pay though.
Sounds like a good way for FunCom to make more money from people like me who want 1 character of each profession...and hell - more characters I have that I can play with - the longer I'll probably stay as a paying customer.
