Character count

[Nashuato]

I'm a new player and, unfortuantely, an altoholic. I've been searching all over to find out what the character limit is per shard per free account. I've heard 6 per shard with a max of 12 or 13 per account. Could someone clarify for me, please?

• As full F2P you can have 2 characters per shard
• As "Veteran" account (buy old RIFT box for 10$ or buy Ascended Essentials Edition) you can have 6 characters per shard
• With "Character Extension Scrolls" from the shop you can increase the limit to a maximum of 12/13 slots per shard (I'm not sure if the special character slot from NMT is handled atm)

(There is no total character limit, it's always limited per shard)

I read it's 2 per shard for PRIME but I'm not doing that. I have 3 on one already.

Also, more characters than there are classes doesn't make much sense unless you want character's banks/alt guilds to store more stuff, since you can have any role on a single character... so you don't need, for example, different characters to have a rogue dd, a rogue supporter, a rogue tank and a rogue healer, you can have all of these on one character by switching roles.
