With as long as many of us have been playing this game, I am fairly certain that I am not the only person with 10 characters on their select realm.
When WoW was introduced, 10 characters were more than sufficient for most players, but as we are in the advent of a 3rd expansion (and more importantly, new race), Years of playing have left me with a full page of characters over level 50.
I realize that its not hard to get a toon to 50, and I readily acknowledge that most of them wont get ever get much farther than they are now, I just do not think it is fair for me to have to delete my invested time just to play a character of a new race.
Any others in the same situation?
My thought:
A One time purchase for 5 additional character slots via the WoW store, I would pay $25-30 for this, rather than having to delete my characters or start an entirely new account (Sans heirlooms I might add).

I like this idea also. However, they
are
at least looking into allow you to mail items cross-server; that way you could roll on a new server and then send your new character some heirloom gear.

I could be OK with that, especially since alts are usually used as a form of escapism
I would like to have a New character to get to 80 on as a goblin with the same guild, friends, etc. =\

Heirloom gear, heh, how about 2000 gold to get you started along?
That was the biggest gripe I had about rolling a new character on a new server / faction.

If this is so important to you, just shell out €20.00 and move one of your unused toons to another server and voila, you have bought yourself an empty slot without deleting any chars. :)

The character limit is 50 per account, so why not make it so you can have as many as you want on any realm as long as your total is less than 50? With the storage capacities these days I doubt space would be a problem and with T1 and fibre optics I can't see how bandwidth can be a huge issue except for the player who has 50 toons on one realm. It may increase their load time when they log into the realm by a couple of seconds. They would still only have to load up 10 at a time plus an arrow or two for browsing the previous/next set.

There is also the somewhat risky choice of just deleting your characters. When Blizzard sooner or later increases the amount of slots, you ask the GMs to restore those characters. :)
There may be a timelimit on how long those characters can stay deleted before they are purged from the server, though.

On my old server, we had a guildie who quit, deleted his character, and swore that he'd never come back to the game. A year later, he contacted Blizzard, verified his account information, and got the character restored with 95% of his gear and bank contents intact.
If there's a time limit, it's greater than a calendar year.
However, I wouldn't go this route even if they
could
restore the character. I personally back the position that we should get another slot or two per server, or at least be able to purchase them if we want them.

Blizzard has said many times that they will add an 11th slot when they add an 11th class.

Source? I like reading the forms but seeing the official source is believing.

This is the only Blue
(8th Post Down) I was able to fine regarding a new character slot. It seems ominous, but that post is almost 2 Years old now.

i would just love more bank spaces for all my engineering toons, that way i could delete one of my two-per-server bank toons to make space for a new toon, I have to keep a spare bank toon with guild bank just to hold all my saronite bomb boxes and mana injectors!

I did find one post where Zarhym suggested that they were "interested in" making heirlooms transferrable within a battle.net account; that would make it easy to get ten more slots per realm.
You already can as long as you don't feel that you need heirlooms.

I'm not asking for you to look for it for me but for everyone here. You can't just make a statement like that and then not be able to back it up. Just so you know I have looked and so did jGarand.

There doesn't seem to be any more information than that, so I was just wondering where the "many times" was actually at.
