Yes, because you get charged by "character slots"(content IDs, but I'll just refer to them this way to make it simplier) and you get one free "character slot", to get a second character would be purchasing another "character slot".

Like I said, you buy/cancel character slots. Making/deleting characters doesn't matter. So if you have one character slot, you will always be charged for one character slot. There is no 'main account/character', simply you get charged a larger amount for having at least one and a smaller amount for each additional one.

Ooh I thought that it was around $13 for each character. How much less would the additional ones cost?

Neomage · 01-31-2007, 06:51 AM

Additional ones are $1 each.

Alcyonne · 01-31-2007, 07:10 AM

Oh, ok. Thanks! In that case, I will be able to afford playing two or more characters.

Thanks it was a good read.

The ability to change jobs at will is FFXI's main selling point over other MMO's, there are now 19 jobs too choose from thats more than 1 per month/ per 1 year membership, if you get into a rut.

Amarizi · 05-17-2008, 07:09 PM

Thank you very much for this lovely thread. I read through it and it told me a lot about the game. I have a better understanding about some of the first things I'll do after installing the game.

Zydel · 06-07-2008, 06:34 PM

Suggestion.
Change the topic to...
"The Incomplete FFXI Guide for New Players. (Not necessary to read)"
:D
